Open educational resources sharing content and knowledge differently is a dri...EduSkills OECD
Why have ICT and the internet – which profoundly changed production and distribution in so many sectors and improved productivity – not had the same impact on education so far?
• Open Educational Resources (OER) can be seen as a social innovation (not a technological one) with the potential of reforming (not revolutionising) education if they are linking to what we know about learning and to what teachers need
With the rapid development of information technologies and the spread of the Internet, universities have been able to extend their learning environments using technology all over their campuses. Numerous universities have implemented OpenCourseWare (OCW) initiatives and OER(Open Educational Resources) development to share their learning materials on the web. In addition, some universities provide free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) with large-scale interactive participation and open access on the Internet. This keynote evaluates the status of the Open Education movement and its dissemination in higher education. It reviews the growth of MOOC movement, activities of MOOC providers and consortiums, introduction MOOC to university education as well as the possible impact on higher education. In addition, this keynote introduces current open educational practices in Hokkaido region, utilizing OER across campuses to improve student outcomes.
An introduction to Open Educational Resources delivered to coursework masters students at the University of Cape Town March 29, 2012. Covers open education resources, Creative Commons licensing, issues for educators engaging in open education, curation, metadata, and new forms of open education such as massive open online courses.
The Non-Disposable Assignment: Enhancing Personalised Learning - Session 2Michael Paskevicius
Slides from our second meeting of three from a course redesign series on creating non-disposable assignments.
As advertised:
Do you want to offer students an opportunity to bring their passions, personal interests, and individual strengths into their coursework?
How can we design assessment which students feel connected to, value, and are proud to share with their peers?
Are you interested in learning how to create a non-disposable assignment for your students?
This 3-part assignment redesign workshop will take you through the steps to create a non-disposable assignment from beginning to end.
Disposable Assignments: "are assignments that students complain about doing and faculty complain about grading. They’re assignments that add no value to the world – after a student spends three hours creating it, a teacher spends 30 minutes grading it, and then the student throws it away” (Wiley, 2013).
This series is about creating a non-disposable assignment. The three sessions will blend a combination of some pre-reading, discussion, and in session time to flesh out the details of a rich assignment that allows students to co-create knowledge, be creative and engage in a personalised learning experience.
We’ll focus on crafting projects which meet your existing or redesigned course learning outcomes, explore tools for students to demonstrate their learning, and identify strategies for conducting peer-review. In the end you’ll end up with plan for implementing your redesigned assignment in Spring 2018 or Fall 2018.
Throughout the three-part workshop we will also be collectively exposing our own learnings to others in the group through a live reflection and blogging site to support our work. We hope faculty can attend all three parts as they are planned with the intent you are coming for the whole series.
The growing adoption of open educational resources (OER) has identified the need for easy-to-use authoring platforms for the development and delivery of openly licensed digital content. Please join the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) for this free, open webinar on authoring platforms that support faculty authoring and adaption of open educational resources and institutional delivery of these resources.
Our speakers will share platforms used by faculty to develop open textbooks and deliver openly licensed digital content to faculty and students in an easy and accessible manner.

Implementing open education practices is a multidimensional challenge for educators. In this session the presenters share data and findings from their research into the practical challenges of open education practices implementation in higher education. Using the analogy of mixing different audio tracks to produce a harmonious acoustic blend, they discuss the blend of elements that need to be considered and balanced in promoting open educational practices. The presentation is followed by small group discussions to further explore solutions to challenges raised.
Open learning in higher education an institutional approachBrian Murphy
The vaue of open learning can be a conflict within higher education instituions. This presentation is the result of an instituional review and research on the open education movement in higher education, given greater impetus by the advent of the MOOC. The journey of exploring MOOCs resulted, ironically, in an enhanced apreciation of OERs and revised strategic thinking of their impact for teaching and research, especially when viewed as a vehicle of co-creation between staff and students. Once value is attached, the principle becimes embedded and accepted rarher than an additional burden of academic endeavour; and the door is opened to the business case for systems, investment and development as well as academic development, support, reward and recognition.
Online Learning Objects: Affecting Change through Cross-Disciplinary Practi...Emily Puckett Rodgers
For the past three years, the MELO project has brought together faculty from several gateway courses at U-M. These courses can be huge with hundreds of students per semester in a single class or smaller, more intimate classes. So how can we innovate across these spaces? We can share.

2. preview…
1. OER – what are they?
2. Who develops them?
3. Why?
4. Problems to be overcome
5. simSHARE
6. Transformation of HE?
3. OER – what are they?
1. Learning content - full courses, course materials, content
modules, learning objects, collections and journals
2. Tools - software to support the creation, delivery, use and
improvement of open learning content including searching
and organisation of content, content and learning
management systems, content development tools and online
learning communities.
3. Implementation resources - intellectual property licenses to
promote open publishing of materials, design principles and
localisation of content.
4. other Open initiatives…
• UNESCO Forum on the Impact of Open Courseware for Higher
Education in Developing Countries (2002)
• SSRN – Social Science Research Networks
• Digital Access to Scholarship at Harvard (DASH)
• Wikipedia
• SourceForge
• Open-source software, eg OpenOffice
• Mozilla Foundation (Firefox, etc)
• Open primary resources in law, eg AUSTLII, BAILII
6. 3 types of OER…
• Institutional OpenCourseWare initiatives: eg
MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Open University, etc
• Disciplinary initiatives: eg HumBox, or disciplinary repositories
• Pedagogic initiatives (simSHARE)
• There are hundreds of examples
of each category
9. MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) Initiative
• 2000: OpenCourseWare
initiated
• Goal: to make all
primary course
resources accessible
on the web
• 2002: launched
50-course pilot
• 2009: 1,900 courses
available free online

15. why create OER?
• Lowers the costs of educational materials for students
• Fosters pedagogical innovation and relevance that avoids
‘teaching from the textbook’
• Gives faculty tools to gain control over learning content and
delivery.
• Share and remix learning materials for customized and
localized use
• Fast feedback loop on quality and relevance of learning
materials => continual improvement and rapid development
http://edtechpost.wikispaces.com/OER+Benefits
16. why create OER?
• Philanthropic: Sharing and providing education to people all over the world, with
special attention to those in third-world countries or without access to high-
quality local education.
• Strategic: Adapting educational practices to the changing world culture may
increase viability of educational institutions. (Additional motivations exist here as
well, but are perhaps more subtle or less overarching).
• Pedagogic: The act of sharing may increase attention to quality; the act of
adapting or remixing may increase quality; the utilization of new technologies may
enhance educational engagement amongst learners.
• Economic: Cost-savings to the institution by digitally archiving their own
materials, and then sharing and reusing within the institution and amongst peers.

17. why do OERs fail?
OER Creators OER Community
1. Hubris 1.No community
2. Poor quality product 2.No embedded sense of a remix culture
3. No business plan 3.Other employment factors, eg
4. No sustainability plan management rules, block use of OER
5. Focus on product to detriment of 4.Community takes and doesn’t give
community
6. A heroic leader (who gets promoted
or fed up or too busy)
18. aims of the simSHARE project?
• Collation of simulation resources which are repurposed as
open educational content
• Creation of guidelines for future publication of simulation
projects
• Help staff to use simulation more widely and effectively
through staff development.
• Create methodologies that will help staff to see more clearly
how simulation OER can be interpreted and in particular how
to:
– Generate or re-purpose a simulation
– Archive a simulation
– Retrieve a simulation and analyse its component parts for educational
value and purpose
19. project details
• Funded in the by JISC & HEA through the subject centre – see
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/oer for list of current projects
• Core personnel:
– Danielle Lysaght (Project Manager, UKCLE)
– Julian Priddle, (Project Co-ordinator)
– Sheila Skinner (Development Officer)
– Gavin Maxwell (Web Developer)
Academic advisors: Project partners:
Karen Barton University of Glamorgan

27. future plans
• Collation of as many interdisciplinary sims as we can get
• We’re about to enter upload & then dissemination phases of
project
• simSHARE adds value to
open-source SIMPLE,
by disseminating
SIMPLE blueprints as
open resources
• next step is to add further value
to the Open sim environment
by adding an open-source
e-portfolio, eg Mahara.
28. 1. sustainability is not the main issue…
1. Simshare is not an organisation (Microsoft), it’s an
ecosystem (Linux).
2. Like all Open ecosystems, it’s remarkably tolerant of failure
3. Cheap failure enables the creation of multiple possibilities
4. It best operates on a publish-then-filter model
5. This model requires very minimal infrastructure (Wikipedia
vs Encarta)
29. … it’s the type of CoP we need …
Re social capital, do we want –
p.222
Thanx to Shirky, C. (2008) Here Comes Everybody, London,
1. Bonding capital?
– Increase in trust & connections within a homogeneous group, eg a
disciplinary group or even sub-group interested in sims
– Relatively exclusive
– People support each other’s worldviews
2. Bridging capital?
– Increase in connections among heterogeneous groups, eg different
disciplinary groups interested in sims
– Relatively inclusive
– Puts people at great risk of having good ideas…
30. … and how we go about achieving it.
1. Construe Simshare as ‘commons-based peer production’
(Benkler)
2. Bring together heterogeneous groups, ie use bridging capital
3. Build from the most local levels up, where there’s
opportunity to host & bridge
4. Accept power law distribution of effort, sharing & use.
5. Reconceptualise OER not as harmonious sharing but as peer
improvement and adaptation – sometimes with bittersweet
results
6. Link research to practice; radicalise practice by using
Simshare as a ZPD, a safe zone for experimentation
