Intro to Accounting
“Thank you for this inspiring
course… This gives me a great
taste of the course in business
management that I would like to
attend at BYU Hawaii.”
– Intro to Accounting Learner
“Thankfully I'm able to finally finish my undergraduate studies through
free online courses such as what you offer on Canvas.net … [and] by
testing out of the remaining required courses. I am especially thankful
since the cost of college has skyrocketed since my first college
courses in 1978.”
– Intro to Accounting Learner
“I work in HR management and
I need to interview many
people working in financial
field ... I feel much more
confident [now that] I have
knowledge about accounting.”

Open for Good: Tales of Building Open Synergies
This document discusses open education platforms and initiatives. It summarizes that Canvas supports open platforms through features like Canvas Commons for sharing open content and the Canvas Network for open online courses. It provides examples of educators using and benefiting from open educational resources and open content, including increased creativity, reflection on teaching practices, and student engagement. The document advocates that open education is a way of thinking about teaching and learning, not just a product, and that initiatives like the Canvas Network aim to increase the amount of open content available.

Editor's Notes
- #3 Currency of information and knowledge. “Mastery of change” we adapt. We adapt our tools, and out content. 10-year old encyc britannica. Not today. In fact, we need to modify and change on the fly.
- #6 ”And innovation by users appears to increase social welfare.”
- #7 Good usage numbers
- #8 Most popular tool categories >> Open content -- the most popular in K-12 >> Institution services – tools built by canvas institutions for use by teachers, students, admins. Some examples:
- #9 The capability to innovate with technology isn’t limited to tools, but content, too. In context: Open content saves students and schools a lot of money. Lumen Learning and others are working on that. But there’s another “currency”…
- #10 Canvas Commons Easy to find and reuse
- #11 Most importantly, easy to share any part of a course
- #12 Launched at InstCon, growth of resources. Showcase one good sharer: IU Because it involves so many types Not just sharing content, but teaching practices Here are some examples
- #16 Increasingly active community where schools benefit lots of others schools, and the influencers learn from each other. The community clusters a little bit, but not much (modularity = 0.4ish on a 0 to 1 scale), which means the community isn't siloed, and there's a lot of sharing across clusters. The bigger the node, the more the school's stuff gets downloaded by others The greener the node, the more the school downloads stuff from other schools The big black arcs attached to some of the nodes show how much schools share internally Filtering: We filtered out every instance where the LO was a template, or created by someone at Instructure
- #17 That idea is showing up in some of the early research on the impact of OER. This from the OER Impact Map. Reflective practice is the pathway to individual improvement, Principles of OER that focus on sharing your own practice learning from others’ practice innovating on top of those practices Continous improvement; amplify what we do at an individual level Connects us to a larger community OER Impact Map. (2014). Reflective practice. Available http://oermap.org/hypothesis/582/hypothesis-e-reflection/
- #18 Here’s a testimonial from a teacher at DeLaSalle High, who shared her story of openness in our Canvas Community Open Education Group.
- #19 I talked to Christie Fierro at Tacoma CC, who is part of a team that is rebranding OPEN as innovative course design (involving students as much as possible)”
- #21 Think about OER as not just content, not just a product quote from Cathy Casserly, which I think communicates another important difference The LO movement was about learning objects, the open educational resources movement feels more in tune with the actual practice of teaching and learning, and the changes that can produce in our educational system.

- #23 https://learn.canvas.net/courses/441 Kevin Kimball, an associate professor of Accounting at Brigham Young University-Hawaii (BYU-H) felt the great desire to do two things. First, he felt passionate about finding a way to reach out and help students beyond his classroom at BYU-H. Second, he wanted to find a way to reduce the cost of textbooks for his BYU-H students, many of whom grew up in very humble circumstances on islands throughout the Pacific and struggle funding their education. He did not realize that the solution to his first dilemma would lead him to the solution for his second dilemma. The first solution was to create a course on Canvas Network. He made the course publicly visible and selected a CC-BY-NC license. In the process he accumulated 47-pages of thank you emails and comments. He even received a family photo of one of his students from Indonesia. In the photo the youngest daughter was proudly displaying her father’s certificate of achievement which was awarded him after completing the course. After creating and teaching the Canvas Network course, Kevin had another realization. He could simply copy the Canvas Network course over into his institution's instance of Canvas and beef it up by including a few more modules, readings, and homework assignments. Instead of having his students purchase a $200 textbook he would instead have his students enroll in this Canvas course. In summary, he created an open online course and hosted it on Canvas Network which he opened to the public and selected a CC-BY-NC license.When he returned to BYU-H he copied over the materials into BYU-H’s instance of Canvas and used the copy to teach his traditional face-to-face course as well as his online course thus potentially saving his students the cost of a $200 textbook. After Kevin piloted the course materials on campus, the whole accounting department subsequently adopted the materials to be used in all offerings of Introduction to Financial Accounting (Acct 202) at BYU-H. To date over 500 BYU-H students have used this course in lieu of the textbook creating a potential savings of over $100,000.
- #24 One that’s particularly relevant is Mike Caulfield’s mixably open online course project, which re-emphasized openness in the mooc movement.
- #25 Mike collaborated with colleagues around the world to produce an open online course composed entirely of openly licensed content. He then took advantage of the fact that Canvas exports its courses as a standard Common Cartridge package to ensure that the resulting course could be downloaded and imported and remixed and redistributed. Common Cartridge is an IMS standard for course content packaging, and ties back into the LOs emphasis on standards for packaging and distribution.
- #26 The resulting course was then offered on Canvas Network last year through Keene State College by professor Larry Welowitz. Now this is just one example of OER reuse, but to be honest clear examples of OER reuse like this don’t pop up very often.
- #29 Grow the community in, the Canvas community
