The document discusses the Accredited Clinical Teaching Open Resources (ACTOR) project which aims to create a national community of educators to share and collaborate on open educational resources. The community faces challenges with lack of time and resources but hopes to use web technologies and social networking to connect educators. It outlines the goals of identifying, categorizing, and aligning educational resources while complying with standards and policies to improve teaching quality through open sharing.
This is the set of presentations given at OER11, May 2011, Manchester Conference Centre in a symposium entitled 'Stars and Fast Cars: walking the red carpet of good practice'
Yvonne Bräutigam presented on codes of conduct for reporting science in a digital world. She discussed how media landscapes and science reporting have changed with growing digitalization and time pressures. Bräutigam analyzed existing codes of conduct for science journalists to see how well they address the demands of modern science reporting and the complexity of communicating science online. Through a comparative qualitative analysis, she examined whether codes of conduct fully capture the particular needs of digital science reporting. Bräutigam concluded the presentation by questioning whether current codes of conduct may be missing important aspects for science communication in today's digital media environment.
This document provides resources for charities on using information and communication technologies (ICT). It finds that while 90% of charities say ICT is vital, 40% have no budget for it and 30% do not prioritize training. The document then lists several free and low-cost ICT resources and support organizations for charities. It also discusses the importance of social media and web 2.0 technologies, providing statistics on their use in the UK and suggestions on how charities can engage with these tools to further their goals.

The document discusses issues around sharing learning and teaching resources openly online. It addresses intellectual property rights and copyright issues, as well as strategies for mitigating risk, such as adopting open licensing like Creative Commons and ensuring institutional policies and disclaimers are in place. Obtaining necessary consents is also discussed, as copyright differs from consent requirements when sharing recordings of clients, patients or others.
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and related intellectual property issues. It defines OER as teaching materials that are freely available, and notes that adopting good practices with OER can save time and money. The document outlines UK copyright law and exceptions for fair use. It also discusses obtaining permissions, licensing schemes like Creative Commons, developing institutional policies, managing risks, and ensuring proper attribution and consent for recordings of people.

This document provides tips and best practices for redesigning a business website. It discusses how websites should attract website visitors through inbound marketing and content creation, convert visitors into leads and sales through optimized landing pages and calls to action, and produce measurable return on investment through analytics and experimentation. The key tips are to audit existing website assets before redesign, focus on creating valuable content over design, make conversion testing easy, and ensure results are measurable. The overall goal of a website redesign should be to get found by prospects, convert them into customers, and analyze results.
JCPenney experimented with a "no sale" strategy in fiscal year 2012, keeping prices consistently low rather than offering periodic sales and promotions. This strategy was not successful financially - JCPenney's revenue and gross margins declined each quarter while competitors generally saw revenue growth. By the fourth quarter, JCPenney returned to more widespread sales and promotions but revenue was still lower than the previous year. The "no sale" strategy and lack of promotions corresponded with decreased traffic to JCPenney's website and fewer unique sales advertised compared to competitors.
Self-Organising News Management: The Molecules of Knowledge ApproachAndrea Omicini
Nowadays, news management systems present new critical challenges in the knowledge management process: the ever-increasing amount of information to handle, its hetero- geneity in structure, and the pace at which it is made available are just a few to mention. Features such as autonomy and self- organisation are apparently essential to face challenges of such a sort: we foresee systems where news are generated in shared spaces – compartments – as molecules of knowledge, which self- aggregate and autonomously move toward news prosumers— e.g., journalists. Along this line, we discuss the Molecules of Knowledge (MoK) model for self-organising news management, featuring biochemical tuple spaces for creation, aggregation, diffusion and consumption of news. We discuss the MoK general computational model and describe its main abstractions, then we focus on news management, showing how to integrate the state-of-art international standards for news representation and dissemination in MoK, thus leading to the MoK-News domain-specific model; finally we discuss our first experiments in self-organising knowledge-oriented coordination for news management.

Designing for learning ‘in the digital world'Cristina Costa
The document discusses principles for curriculum design in the digital world, including challenge and enjoyment, personalization and choice, progression and depth, and relevance, coherence and breadth. It emphasizes using a range of learning opportunities including interdisciplinary learning. The goals are to develop successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens, and effective contributors. It suggests technologies can provide opportunities for discussion, validation, recognition, citizenship, information, creation, questioning, empowerment and collaboration beyond just technology use. Examples are given of using tools like Twitter, Google Lit Trips, voicethread, and math maps in the classroom.
This document provides information about the OpenCourseWare Consortium (OCW), including its vision, impact, funding sources, and community participation. The OCW envisions open access to educational materials worldwide. It has had significant impact, with over 29 million site visits and over 12,000 courses available. The annual budget is $0.7 million, funded by member dues and grants from foundations like Hewlett. Community members provide input through committees and meetings.
This document summarizes Dr. Cable Green's presentation on the obviousness of open policy. Some key points include:
- Nearly one third of the world's population is under 15 years old and enrollment in tertiary education is projected to increase significantly in coming years, requiring many new universities to open.
- Open educational resources (OER) are teaching, learning and research materials that reside in the public domain or are released with an open license allowing free use and repurposing. There are many existing OER initiatives and repositories.
- Resources that are non-rivalrous, like digital content, can be copied and distributed at essentially no cost online, unlike physical goods. This changes traditional models and pricing.
- The document is a slide presentation from the Institutional Web Management Workshop 2010 that provides an overview and history of the event as well as discussion of current challenges and the future.
- It discusses how the IWMW event has been held annually since 1997 to provide a forum for UK higher education institutions to discuss web management best practices and innovations.
- Recent budget cuts and changing priorities threaten the sustainability of the event, raising questions around reducing its length, making it virtual, or allowing commercial alternatives. The role of professional networks and adapting to change are emphasized.

This presentation for Year 1 students in the Health Sciences Faculty forms the framework for a 2 hour workshop. It aims to educate them about Open Educational Resources, to develop their capacity to source appropriate material (especially images) on the World Wide Web, to raise an awareness of online copyright issues and to assist the students in understanding and respecting copyright laws. The link between health and human rights is used as the main topic for guiding students’ searches.
The document discusses the rise of MOOCs and online learning and raises several questions about their implications. It questions who will own knowledge in the future - universities, companies, society or individuals. It also ponders the effects of MOOCs on the prestige of degrees and their legal validity. Additionally, it raises concerns about completion rates, practical components, and whether online education could increase access to a universal higher education.

Editor's Notes
We all know the benefits of OER, how sharing is good for economic reasons, transparency, legal reasons, accessibility… What we wanted to do within *this* project, is to get the message out there to the community…
Wenger defines communities of practice as such. Building on the use and re-use of OERs we are concentrating on creating a community of practice which will extend beyond the original partners.
So – who are these people? Well. Some of these courses are acredited against the UKPSF - The UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF) for teaching and supporting learning, a framework which uses a descriptor-based approach to professional standards. It aligns them to descriptors such as professional activity, core knowledge and professional values. If anyone would like any information about the While they are in competition for students, each PGCertClinEd is run by a small number of dedicated staff committed to diversifying their provision, and there are tens of thousands of potential applicants as NHS leaders required educational supervisors to be ‘ trained ’ .
So – what will they do? Well, looking through the material they already have available, they can identify resources that can be made OPEN – and they ’ ll do this using the MEDEV toolkit. (as the PORSCHE project explained, this risk assessment toolkit looks at copyright clearance, patient consent, accessibility and quality assurance – it then allows you to print a record of each resource you ’ ve taken through this process – for audit purposes). They are investigating current institutional policy (where it exists) around opening up educational resources. This way we can document the processes necessary to enable learning resources from the sector to be made ‘ open ’ .
Policies and practice: This way we can document the processes necessary to enable learning resources from the sector to be made ‘ open ’ . How do the policies their institutions have in place relate to IPR and consent?
Applying CC licences What happens if they move to a new institution and inherit a previous course director ’ s materials. Can they use it? If an academic gets another job in a different institution – can they take their old material (that they designed) with them? These are all issues we are addressing with the ACTOR community Up to 30 credits worth of clinical education materials into Jorum to share.
Clinical diaries can be a nightmare for one-2-one meetings, let alone a meeting for all partners (and others) to attend. The project is due to finish (officially) on 31 st August 2011. Thereafter…well, it ’ s a matter of sustainability
Motivation so far has been good. Obviously this is a small project and therefore a small amount of funding just covers expenses. With this in mind we considered the following Face-to-face meetings to begin with. Each site visit to partners consisted of a meeting (approx. half a day) to go through the project plans and discuss potential issues or threats to competition of the project. Then a more blended approach was necessary. The use of web 2.0 and social networking tools have been used a lot within this project. Most communication has been online in some format or other. For example….
PM s/w – basecamp. Proves useful for most of our MEDEV projects. Used as a central repository for and messages/notes/emails/files relating to the problem. Everyone has a login for it and is advised when any new relevant information appears. We purchased a copy of Elluminate for workshops with run within MEDEV. This has proved extremely useful for hosting online Exec Group/Partner meetings. Elluminate allows video conferencing, participation on screen whiteboards, voting/poll systems. No travel – meeting for up to 90 mins at desk – in this economic climate is a bonus. It also allows webcasting so we can demonstrate resources/toolkits and any new technologies. Skype: Face to face video or audio conference can be invaluable for a quick meeting – say 5mins – to report on any progress to date or to get together to decide on one issue, rather than 20 emails going back and forth. Blogs: MEDEV has an oer-phase-2-blog which takes feeds from individual staff blogs which are tagged with ‘ oer-phase-2 ’ and the PORSCHE and ACTOR blogs. These combine into one big feed which can be syndicate and commented on. If you wish to view ACTOR separately – the URL is shown here.

Xerte has online and desktop tools which allow creation of learning objects that can then be uploaded to blackboard or another VLE GLOmaker is similar in that it has tools to help you create ‘shareable’ content.
Nominal funding means that the partners engage voluntarily so there are challenges to the virtual community [For the money we had we could’ve paid one person to create all of these materials – but would they be as good?] A site visit to one partner for 90 mins has proved more valuable than anything else they’ve done in the last year.
Our 5 main partners are on board – not only are they disseminating inforamtion about the ACTOR community at conferences much like this – but they are disseminating within their own institutions and this is havinga significant effect on their superiors, their colleagues and their students. Here’s a couple of example of the kind of resources….

Another example from the RVC – an extremely well-behaved virtual dog. you can shine lights / out a finger in front of the eye / or poke it with a cotton bud to judge the reaction and make a diagnosis
