33. Internationally compatible

41. Millions of works, millions of people?

42. Marginal – but at the frontier of change

44. (free) common good + new models of production and distribution

45. Linux system / Wikipedia

47. With lack of technological barriers, intellectual property matters and related mindsets are the key obstacle.

49. In a knowledge based, media-centric society, does Open education = the Web?

51. Is Wikipedia an educational resource?

53. Aggregation?

54. Quality assurance?

55. Legal matters?

57. Open Access Budapest Initiative (2001): „An old tradition and a new technology have converged to make possible an unprecedented public good. […] The public good they make possible is the world-wide electronic distribution of the peer-reviewed journal literature and completely free and unrestricted access to it by all scientists, scholars, teachers, students, and other curious minds”.

59. Journals (Gold Route)

61. Green: 93% of 25 000 peer-review journals allow self-archiving

62. Gold: Several thousand journals

64. Harvard, Stanford

65. OECD, European Research Council, EUA, EC experts

66. OA mandates / strategies / recommendations “ Governments would boost innovation and get a better return on their investment in publicly funded research by making research findings more widely available …. and by doing so they would maximise social returns on public investments.” OECD Report on Scientific Publishing, 2005

67. Open Educational Resources OECD: “digitised materials offered freely and openly for educators, students and self-learners to use and reuse for teaching, learning and research”

68. Open Educational Resources “ open educational resources” refers to accumulated digital assets that can be adjusted and which provide benefits without restricting the possibilities for others to enjoy them.

70. Open Educational Resources „ [...] a world where each and every person on earth can access and contribute to the sum of all human knowledge. […] a new pedagogy where educators and learners create, shape and evolve knowledge together”

71. Open Educational Resources 3 strategies to increase the reach and impact of OER: participate / release resources / adopt policies

72. OpenCourseWare * From „MIT.com” to “enhancement of human learning worldwide * 2007: 3000+ courses, 200+ institutions * Educational revolution as side-effect of traditional education

73. Free Textbooks * textbooks written by teachers believing in the free cultural model * „born digital, born free”

74. Prof. Stanisław Czachorowski * Wikipedia as higher education resource * “active peer production of knowledge”

75. Open Educational Resources * potentially everywhere... * … but: License + File Format + Granularity + Searchability + Efficiency (OECD)

76. Open Data * Neurocommons: open Semantic Web for neurological research, based on publicly available data * massive amount of data + rapidly changing research frontier + distributed knowledge and expertise

77. Science 2.0 * open notebook science * open, peer-reviewed evaluation * transformation of scientific communication – from publication to interaction

78. Open education * commons based peer production – or creative destruction of educational institutions?

79. Open education in Poland * Open Access almost non-existent * OER movement has a strong start * Strong support from the librarian community (example: AGH University of Science and Technology)

80. Open education in Poland * Strategy for the Growth of Information Society * Report on Intellectual Capital of Poland * Little apparent interest from academic institutions

81. Open education in Poland * Government projects: educational revolution through hardware saturation?

82. Open education in Poland * Barriers: Fear of plagiarism / Intellectual Property Protection + lack of legal knowledge / Rigid Pedagogical Structure / Low quality of scientific output

83. Open education in Poland * Mirek Filiciak: „we need less pirates, more hackers”

84. The future
