2. Stuff We’ll Get To
• What is OER?
• What’s Open Pedagogy?
• What’s a
sustainable assignment?
• Why should we care?
• How can I do this?
• Do you know how busy I
am?
• Why should we care?
(Yeah, that one twice.)

13. • 56% of students pay
more than
$300 per semester &
20% of students pay
more than
$500 per semester
(FL Virtual Campus 2016)
• Students worry more about
paying for books
than they worry about
paying for college. (NEEBO)
17. The REAL
Cost of College
• (Tuition)
• COURSE
MATERIALS
• Transportation
• Child Care
• Food & Shelter
• Opportunity
Costs
18. • A generation ago, public colleges/unis got an average
of 75% of budget from state. Today, it's about 50%.
• 23% of low-income sophomores worked a job
between the hours of 10pm-8am.
• Survey at 10 community colleges (4312 students
responding): 1 in 5 students was hungry, 13% were
homeless.
• The average net price for a year at community college
equals 40% of a low-income family's annual income.
• A year at public university ranges from 16-25% of a
middle-class family's annual income.
• 60% of Americans ages 25-64 don't have a college
credential, but 22% of them earned credits trying to
get one.
• More than 3 in 4 students attend colleges within 50
miles of their homes. Esp. true for low-income and
minority students.
• 50-80% of sticker price comes from non-tuition costs.
21. I don’t want to join a
movement focused
on replacing crappy
expensive textbooks
with crappy free
textbooks.
22. For me,
OPEN is about
access to knowledge
and
access to knowledge
creation
23. Co-Creation: OERs, Knowledge, Higher Ed

25. Domain of One’s Own
• Drag ’n Drop → Design
• Digital consumer → Digital
creator
• Data mining → Data control
• Audience of 1 → Public impact
• Web as broadcast station →
Web as open lab
• Work attached to course →
Work attached to student
• ePortfolio → ePort

28. IDS taught me to be responsible for my learning and growth. You
learn to expand your returns. We do not post our “homework”
to a hidden, school controlled website. We share our work for all
of the world to see. This idea of owning your own domain allows
you to be confident in your work and take responsibility for
what you are learning, how you make connections in the world,
and how you share your knowledge. To me, this style of learning
and sharing is a good idea for Interdisciplinary Studies and all
other majors. Academic settings need to work on sharing each
other’s work, and being engaged in the world outside of
classroom walls.

“on time” & that is OK.
29. These ePorts are a way for us to really explain the type
of future we want to lead. They express who we are,
how we feel, how we learn and SO much more.
Personally, I have found my ePort to be a way to cope
with my illness. Before this school year, I was so lost,
sad, angry and essentially broken. I was given six
months to live and felt okay, why should I even try to
further my life if it’s just going to end. Well, here I am,
almost TWO years later doing great things with both
my education and my life.

30. Twitter was a way for us to expand our knowledge and
let our voices be heard all throughout the country. We
share our personal goals and share how we feel about
certain issues going on in the world. We follow people
who surround the field we are pursuing. I constantly
have TweetDeck open on my laptop now, go figure. For
example, I follow @PatientsRising. They advocate the
importance of access to vital therapies and services for
patients facing life-altering diseases. Get this, they
followed me BACK. I just think it is so cool how PLN’s
can build yourself a name. Tiffanyrichards.plymouthcreate.net

33. Deeper learning (Farzan & Kraut, 2013)
Evaluate and defend credibility of sources
(Marentette, 2014)
Write more concisely and think more
critically (Farzan & Kraut, 2013)
Collaborate with students from around the
world (Karney, 2012)
Provide and receive constructive feedback
(Ibrahim, 2012)
Enhance digital literacy (Silton, 2012)

39. • Create and submit an
assignment
• Complete an assignment
and share your work
• Help someone else do the
assignment by creating a
tutorial
40. Digital redlining &
the digital divide
are real and insidious.
Open is not
the opposite of private.
EdTech is
selling something.
Open is
a process,
not a panacea.
41. Open Pedagogy
• Opens gates to learning
• Centers access in design
• Connects learners to their
communities of practice
• Thrives in learner-designed
architectures
• Leverages the open license
• Enables learner contributions
to the knowledge commons
• Approaches tools and
technologies critically, with a
focus on privacy
• Builds toward a publics-
oriented vision for Higher Ed
42. • Increase ACCESS to Higher Ed
• Engage our students with their
communities of practice
• Enable learners to CONTRIBUTE
to knowledge commons
• Build a collaborative SUNY system
Open Education:
putting the PUBLIC back in public Higher Ed
Public
Could be an OpenStax book or public docs or whatever
I can show you how to choose a license

Shaping the knowledge commons means a credential is co-created, that the workforce is continually remade, that education is not a slave to the status quo economy.
