Editor's Notes
- #2 Thank you for having me here- thank you to Lumen Learning – traditional acknolwedgment
- #3 Where do I live?
- #6 Policy is the framework in which governments and institutions operate — how resources are allocated, what actions should be taken, and how decisions are made. … all in the service of teaching and learning. How can policies support students, faculty and staff?
- #7 Open policies typically require, encourage or provide a framework for open activities and practices to occur. OER, OA, open data … created internal and/or external to your institution A policy can address one or more of the open activities in this framework.
- #8 Funding policies: Open education licensing requirements insert open licensing requirements into existing systems that create educational resources. Resource policies: allocate resources directly to support the creation, revision and/or adoption of OER resources to support a shift to open practices / pedagogy students & educators become co-creators of knowledge Framework Policies: create pathways or remove barriers in support of future action OER strategy for the institution align existing institutional KPIs to open education (time to degree, course completion, student debt) open policy statements (share what we build) adjust P&T rules to privilege open (teaching, service, research)
- #9 Public spending = public information. Publicly funded resources should be openly licensed resources by default. Efficiency Good steward of public funding – pay for an education resource once – use it everywhere. ROI. Affordability / Access / Equity Open Textbooks have saved almost 20,000 BC students $2M - $2.5M since 2012. 684 faculty adoptions. Innovation: open pedagogy, creations, adaptation (BC Campus / OpenEd is leading)
- #10 too many to name: see OER Policy Registry BC Campus – requires CC BY Poland - CC BY open textbooks for primary students Fiji adopts a national OER policy UK and NZ: giving K-12 teachers permission to CC license their work California adopts policy requiring OER be marked in course catalogs Wellcome Trust - CC BY on articles - published in open journals / repositories European Commission Erasmus program requires an “open license” lacks specificity, so compliance is low (important lesson) US Dept. of Labor – CC BY on all grants (started with 1 grant) US Dept of Education – CC BY on all grants (started with 1 grant) State / USAID - some of their grants require CC licenses IGOs: UNESCO and COL have CC BY SA open policies on all of their work and work they fund UNICEF Innovation grants require CC BY or BY SA BC: Tenure and promotion process
- #12 Raise awareness of the existence of OER and the benefits for your students and faculty. College support for adaptation and adoption to ensure successful adoption of OER. stipends, release time, OER librarian Adopt open licensing policies on discretionary grants / contracts / innovation funds ask your Provincial government to do the same … so you can use others’ OER Institutional policies concerning OER should be developed and disseminated to help raise awareness, dispel myths, and to encourage members of the community to adopt OER and Open Practices. use the OER Policy Development Tool to easily build an OER policy for your institution (kudos to Amanda Coolidge and Daniel DeMarte - speaker later today) who built this tool. The creation and adaptation of OER should be appropriately recognized as curricular innovation and service to the academic profession during Promotion & Tenure review.
