OpenCourseWare is Here. ICDE World ConferenceGary Matkin
The OpenCourseWare movement is here. For instance, more than 200 institutions have joined the OpenCourseWare Consortium (OCWC) and they now offer over 8,200 courses worldwide in many languages. The start to the movement provided by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and MIT has now spawned both an expansion of the MIT model and many variations of it. From the beginning, the goal of the OCW movement has been worldwide learning and sharing of content. It now faces new challenges; among them is the challenge of moving from open courses to learning pathways of larger scale, including open degrees. The premise of sharing knowledge from the developed world to developing countries remains an attractive prospect, one which engages the leaders of the movement. Yet, barriers are ever more clear. You will learn of the current state of the OCW movement, its challenges, and its potential. Learn also how to become involved in this movement.

Report ICDE : Quality models in online and open education around the globe: S...eraser Juan José Calderón
The International Council for Open and Distance Education (ICDE) has published the report "Quality models in online and open education around the globe: State of the art and recommendations", a must read for any person concerned with quality in online, open and flexible higher education.
With the Global Education 2030 agenda in mind, the new ICDE report addresses new needs such as quality in MOOCs and Open Education Resources. It also shows that one size does not fit all; that improving quality of student experiences is more than ever extremely important, and it warns against implementation of quality models that restrict innovation and change.
African Perspective on The Global Trends in Open, Distance and Online Learnin...icdeslides
This presentation is about trends in ODL in an African perspective. Education and learning is probably that single thing that has the greatest impact on humans and societies, in particular in a long term perspective.
Higher education is increasing more rapid than ever, and Africa is a hot spot for future HE. Africa is lagging compared with richer parts of the world, but is catching up faster than many would have believed. However, better integration between education and economic value chains has to be more in focus.
For the post 2015 education agenda Quality Open Education Resources and ODL can make dreams come through. In fact, without OER and ODL, dreams about quality education for all might end up as wishful thinking.
Not all that shines is gold, and the MOOC hype has been replaced by a good portion scepticism in particular regarding target groups, lack of student success and learning outcomes. However, the driving forces for open knowledge are so strong that we again and again will se waves of innovations riding on online learning and mobile broadband, where Africa will through time will catch up and close the digital gap.
Teachers and teachers trainers is the key to educational success for Africa, and competencies and capability to provide quality ODL will be in the core. "If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”, an old African proverb says. And ICDE is prepared to go far together with ACDE.

Global open libraries - GOL A feasibility studyicdeslides
At the 2nd OER World Congress on 19 September, the idea of a network, Global Open Libraries, GOL, was presented, both at a well visited special event and at the plenary session later on the day and even on a satellite event discussing OER in non-English languages..
The presentation in the special session is this one.
You can comment on the report at icde@icde.org at the blog. Your comments can either be added directly to the blog post, or emailed to icde@icde.org by Wednesday 11 October 2017. Then the report will be finalised and the partners will decide if an initiative for GOL will be taken, and if so – the next steps.
The report asks, is this feasible:
“Based on existing quality OER repositories, educational needs, teachers and learners demands, a possible initiative intends to spark the uptake of OER and Open education in Higher Education and Upper Secondary Education, and provide the basis for a future networked global cooperation between quality OER repositories. The main outcome of a possible initiative will be a dynamic global network of OER repositories, well connected to key stakeholders and the user community.”

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)
An RCE is a network of existing formal,
non-formal, and informal organizations
that facilitate education for
sustainable development in local and
regional communities (secretariat
usually higher education institution)
Because of this unique synthesis of
actors from different sectors, an RCE
can access a pool of experts from
different fields and different spheres of
influence
Helps break down silos
Gives overview of critical issues due to
multiple stakeholders
Pool of experts can support and facilitate
change
11. Newly Acknowledged RCEs
New RCEs:
10 RCEs have been acknowledged since November 2016:
Africa: North Rift (Kenya), Zaria (Nigeria), Gauteng (South Africa)

17. Youth
At the request of the youth delegates who attended the 10th Global
RCE Meeting in Yogyakarta, Indonesia and with the approval of the
Ubuntu Committee of Peers to the RCEs, the Global RCE Service
Centre would like to announce that all RCEs are requested to
designate a youth focal point within each RCE.
This position will be available to any persons between the ages of
16-35 who is active within their local RCE
The position will be appointed for a two year term with the possibility
of extending for one additional two year term.
This focal point will serve as a point of contact for youth seeking to
network and engage with cross-RCE initiatives and communication.
18. Youth
Countries with multiple RCEs requiring national youth focal points
(Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, United States)
Regional coordinators will in turn communicate with national focal
points within their given region, and act as a bridge between the RCE
Global Service Centre and the youth within their region.
While RCE youth will be engaged within their own unique projects, at
the request of youth present during the 10th Global RCE Meeting, youth
networks will also be asked to help with coordination and
communication matters among the network at large.
One example will be RCE youth will be initiating contact with RCEs that
have not reported in order to make connections with those among the
community who do not have projects showcased on the portal for the
last year.
19. Youth
So far, there have been five RCEs in the Americas that have
nominated RCE Youth Focal Points
RCE Bogotá: Jennifer Rivera Jimenez
RCE Borderlands: Ramon Hernandez
RCE Greater Portland: Ibrahim Ibrahim
RCE Rio de Janeiro: Marcel Lima Marujo
RCE Shenandoah Valley: Samuel Stoner
Please feel free to nominate a Youth from your RCE if it has not
already done so!
20. Next steps
Communication – what is desired?
More? Less? On what issues? Through which platform?
Projects
Every RCE is working on projects locally – is there a desire for regional or
continental initiatives?
Resource/Expertize Mapping
Who is working in which fields?
What mechanisms already exist for exchange and collaboration?
What resources can be mobilized?
