This document summarizes David Wiley's presentation on open education at the Nebraska State College System Open Education Summit. The key points are: 1) Wiley discussed how education involves sharing knowledge between teachers and students, and how digital technologies and the internet enable unprecedented sharing. 2) However, copyright restricts copying, distributing, and editing educational content, limiting this potential. Wiley proposes using copyright and open licensing like Creative Commons to explicitly allow sharing through "the 4Rs" of reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute. 3) Open educational resources (OER) are freely available teaching materials that can be openly used and shared under a Creative Commons license. Examples show OER can significantly reduce costs while improving learning outcomes

3. Education is Sharing
Teachers with students
Students with teachers

4. Teachers Share With Students
Knowledge and skills
Feedback and criticism
Encouragement

5. Students Share With Teachers
Questions
Assignments
Tests

6. Successful Educators
Share most compeltely
with the most students

7. If there is no sharing…
there is no education.

8. Knowledge is Magical
Can be given without being given away

9. Physical Expressions Are Not
To give a book you must give it away

10. Expressions Are Different
To give a book you must give it away

11. When Expressions Are Digital
They also become magical

14. Unprecedented Capacity
We can share as never before

15. Unprecedented Capacity
We can educate as never before

16. Except We Can’t
© forbids copying, distributing, and editing

17. © Cancels the Possibilities
Of digital media and the internet

18. Internet Copyright
Enables Forbids
What to do?

20. Use copyright to enforce sharing

21. The 4Rs
Reuse – copy verbatim
Revise – adapt and edit
Remix – combine with other OER
Redistribute – share with others

22. 4Rs and Copyright
http://creativecommons.org/

23. What are Open Educational
Resources (OER)?
(1) Any kind of teaching materials –
textbooks, syllabi, lesson
plans, videos, readings, exams

24. What are Open Educational
Resources (OER)?
(2) Are free for anyone to access, and
(3) Include free permission to engage
in the 4R activities

25. Internet OER
Enables Allows
Sharing and educating at
unprecedented scale

26. Examples of OER
What do they look like?

30. Many Questions About OER
Do they really save money?
Do students learn from them?

31. OER in Crescendo
In secondary and postsecondary contexts

32. Open High School of Utah
Public, fully online charter school
400 students in grades 9-12
Adding 7-8 in 2013-2014

33. Open High School of Utah
Charter mandates use of OER
76% whole school proficiency

34. Education’s Golden Ratio
Learning outcomes / dollar

35. % Content + LMS Proficiency
Proficient Cost per Dollar
UVA 58% $380 0.15
UVA (90%) 58% $38 1.52
OHSU 76% $18 4.22

36. Utah Open Textbook Project
6000 students, 30 teachers
Secondary science classrooms
Adapted CK12.org textbooks
Very few digital devices

37. Utah Open Textbook Project
$4.99 per book ($80/$11.43)
+5.1% in CRT scores

38. Utah Open Textbook Project
Fall 2013: 75k students science
7-9 math and 6-8 LA under development
USOE goal of 6-12

39. Project Kaleidoscope
8 community colleges and OA 4 year schools
Aggregate OER-based textbook replacements

40. Project Kaleidoscope
11 GE courses; 9,000 students
Dropped required textbook cost to $0
Average change was +14% in success rate

41. Why?
OER mean full access to course content
from the very first day of class

42. Textbook Zero
Associates of Business Administration
100% OER pathway through degree
Decreases cost of degree by 30%

43. OER in Crescendo
classroom > whole school > statewide
course > entire degree program

44. Continue the Crescendo
Analytics and Continuous Improvement

48. Each and Every Interaction
Recorded and stored for analysis

49. If Only We Could Get Data!
We could do analyses (aka research) too

52. Canvas

53. Even the Grocer!
Almost every industry (1) gathers and
(2) uses data more effectively than we do

54. Openness?
Weren’t we talking about OER?

55. Learning Analytics
Who and what needs help

56. How Useful?
When you don’t have permission to
fix what’s broken

57. Openness
Permission to make improvements

58. How Useful?
When you don’t know what to change

60. Openness + Analytics
What to fix + permission to fix it!

61. It’s About Learning
Increasing learning by:
lowering costs
enabling faculty

63. Lots More to Talk About!
