- 56. Why? Outreach benefits •Bridge between secondary and higher education – Skill and knowledge courses available to prepare students for higher education – Assist disadvantaged learners and those returning to education – Insure good fit between student and institution
- 57. Why? Outreach benefits •Workforce development – Updating skills – Retraining sectors that are downsizing or becoming dated – Pathways to short courses or certificates US Department of Labor $2,000,000,000 TAA grant specifically to support creation of job retraining OER
- 58. Why? Innovation • Current global higher ed system can’t reach everyone who wants an education. • Cost and access barriers to current system. • Systems don’t serve everyone equally well. UNESCO's world conference on Higher Education projects that post- secondary education will need to provide places for an additional 98 million learners over the next 15 years. Stated differently, this would require "require more than four major universities (30,000 students) to open every week for the next fifteen years". (Daniel 2011.)

Editor's Notes
- #16 OpenCourseWare is part of Open Educational Resources, but while OER can be a single object, OpenCourseWare is a package of course materials, such as syllabi, tests, lecture notes, videos of lectures, recordings, reading lists, etc.
- #23 Institutions are the stewards of the collectionDoesn’t mean that anything can go upOCW can be used to advance particular objectives of an institution
- #26 Embed the video of http://vimeo.com/43437812
- #61 The Open Course Library is a collection of expertly developed educational materials – including textbooks, syllabi, course activities, readings, and assessments – for 81 high-enrollment college courses. 42 courses have been completed so far, providing faculty with a high-quality option that will cost students no more than $30 per course.
- #62 Some institutions that are using OCW and OERs to broaden access and offer alternatives to the current educational systems.
- #66 Another interesting activity being undertaken in Indonesia is the use of OER in formal educational program. The University of Bandun wanted to develop programs in water management. As you know, developing new courses and programs requires a significant financial and time commitment. Rather than investing in faculty developing theoretical lectures, they decided to use these lectures freely and openly offered by Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, and focus their development efforts on contextualizing theoretical and practical approaches in Indonesian environments and society.
- #67 Moving to the other side of the world, I would like to make a few comments on an OER activity in Brazil that speaks to the question of increasing access to higher education that was highlighted by many of the Ministers this morning.
- #68 Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) is Brazil’s largest non-governmental provider of distance education, serving approximately 90,000 online students. They offer a number of their courses as open educational resources. Students can complete these courses with no registration or fees, and, if they achieve passing marks on the embedded test, they are able to print a self declaration of learning. This certificate carries no credit and does not complete any degree requirements, but nonetheless, they have had over 1.5 million of these certificates printed. There are no fees for the certificate, rather, they require these learners to fill out a survey before printing the self declaration. This has given them considerable data.
- #69 The data collected has shown that they are reaching learners that they do not reach with their for credit, paid course offerings. In particular, 40% nave no post-secondary training or education, nearly 55% of leaners are women, and the vast majority are low income learners.
- #70 In short, FGV has found that their open courses has resulted in increased access.Also of note, FGV has been able to directly attribute more than 8500 enrollments in formal courses to learners following open courses, so there has been financial benefit to the institution in addition to mission benefit.
- #77 Since librarians have the skills, expertise and commitment to lead open education, perhaps all that’s missing is support.
- #79 We hope you’ll join us – thank you – flip through the next three slides rather quickly
