This document discusses promoting technology-enabled knowledge sharing of open educational resources (OER). It addresses three challenges to building and sharing knowledge: understanding local knowledge, extracting it, and representing it for others. Three cases are presented where knowledge was shared about course transformations, using OER, and effective OER use. Technological tools can capture and represent knowledge portably. Benefits include more productive, engaging, and sustainable knowledge building and sharing. Three technology-supported environments are described: an incubation space, a gallery for inspiration, and an open forum commons for communities of practice.

2. Context of teaching and learning
• Pedagogies
• Learners
• Educational Tools
• Instructors
• Educational Resources

3. Three primary challenges to
building and sharing knowledge
of practice
• Understanding the resources of local
knowledge
• Extracting it
• Representing it in a way so that it can bo
used by others

4. Making knowledge portable
• Capturing knowledge
• Environments for nurturing open
knowledge

5. Technological Tools
• Enable educators to represent their
knowledge
• Take advantage of multimedia
• Make it portable

6. Three cases in open education
• Case One- Sharing course transformation to promote
instructional innovations
• Challenge: Sharing knowledge experience
• Case Two-Promoting effective use of open Educational
Resources by sharing Pedagogical experience
• Two challenges:
• To gain access to the author’s knowledge and
experience in designing and using the materials.
• To share their challenges and success in using them.
• Case Three-Enabling cross-instructional about effective
use of open educational: Development of snapshots

7. Advantages of Merlot community
members
• Better equipped to learn from each other’s
work
• Continuous improvement of educational
materials

8. Benefits of the three technology-
supported environments
• Knowledge building and sharing
• More productive
• Engaging
• Sustainable both individually and
collectively

9. The three supported
environments
• First space- A space for incubation: Carnegie
workspace, incubating ideas and sharing
ongoing work for peer-review.
• Second space- The gallery of Teaching and
Learning, provides educators a rich source of
inspiration for improving practice and
educational transformation.
• Third space-The teaching and learning
commons- an open forum: allows communities
of practice and reflection to grow.

10. Uses of Carnegie workspace
• Communities
• Collaboration
• Documentation
• Allowing for tentative ideas
• Successes and challenges to be shared along
every step of the process
• Scaffold processes of investigation
• Data collection
• Reflection

11. Towards building sustainable
knowledge networks
• A vision of teaching and learning commons
• To harness the power of sophisticated
knowledge management and community support
technologies-examples
• Tagging
• Connecting
• Rating tools
• Recommendation engines
• Social bookmarks
• Networking tools

12. Other uses-Teaching and
learning commons
• For open knowledge exchange
• A means of supporting a circle of
knowledge building and sharing
• Create- document and reflect
• Share-review and critique
• Use-assimilate and remix

13. Important
• Elements of search
• Inspiration
• Creation
• Guidance
• Harvesting
• Commenting

14. Looking ahead with lessons
learned-Sets of lessons
• Relationship
• Specific kinds of practice
• Issues of tool development and promotion

15. Guiding questions for future
work-Core questions
• How to improve education quality and
accessibility
• What help or guidance is needed?
• Hoe to find hackers?
• How to take full advantages of a wide
range of technologies?
• How to enable centres to become practical
and useful in a local context?
