Open MOOCS with the Open Education ConsortiumUna Daly
Join the Open Education Consortium for this free, open webinar on the use of Open MOOCs to support global learning and certificates.
DATE: Tuesday, March 10, 2015
TIME: 10:00 am PST, 1:00 pm EST
The MOOC frenzy of a couple years ago has slowed down but the idea of sharing knowledge globally paired with the ability to earn inexpensive completion certificates still resonates. The Open Education community has clarified the definition of “open” in Massive Open Online Course to mean courses featuring open educational resources (OER) that can be re-used freely by learners and educators alike. In this webinar, you will get to hear about OER-based MOOC courses developed by Open Education Consortium members: Tufts University and Scottsdale Community College.
Tufts University offered the first in a 2-part MOOC series: The Biology of Water and Health last fall on the edX platform. The course examines critical water-related issues through a global and interdisciplinary lens focusing on the importance of water, sanitation and hygiene to maternal and child nutrition and growth, and encourages participants to explore social, economic, and behavioral dimensions. Hear how Part 1 of the course was developed, opportunities for learner interactions, and the learner outcomes from the first offering of the course. Plans for Part 2 will also be shared and how it will differ based on the experiences of Part 1.
A Scottsdale Community College English instructor developed an open MOOC on the Canvas platform to help other faculty find and develop OER materials for Composition and Rhetoric to use in their teaching. Hear how the course helps faculty to understand open licenses and develop their own high-quality OER materials to lower costs for their students and expand access.

The Simple Life: Using Plain and Controlled Language to Improve Translation Q...Erin Lyons
The Plain Language Movement, aimed at promoting straightforward writing that focuses on the message rather than the complications of inflated language and complex sentence structure, has become increasingly prevalent, having trickled down from the government level to the legal, medical, and business sectors. This presentation will explore how this affects translations, particularly when interlinguistic register and usage differ. Writing techniques, readability scores, linguistic obstacles, and specific tools and glossaries will be covered. Before and after texts will be dissected to illustrate how to effectively apply the principles of plain language to improve the quality, consistency, and leveragability of translations.

I. Language revitalization efforts raise a lot of questions about the
nature of language
, the relationship of particular languages to its speech community, and the
links between language and culture
that we discussed at the beginning of class (e.g. around Sapir-Whorf).
A. The
stakes
of language endangerment change depending on how we think about language, culture and linguistic diversity.
1.
Many peoples facing language shift think of language in similar terms: as having a strong, inherent or
essentialized
link to culture & identity.
2.
Might imagine a stronger link than academic linguists and anthropologists would agree with.
B. Given what we’ve learned about questions of culture and identity in class- that
culture is changing
, that
identity is complex and a matter of negotiation
, not of static, essential categories, we should expect that the questions raised by language endangerment and revitalization movements would be
more complex
.
C. Patrick discusses both strategic benefits and the dangers of assuming an essential link between language, culture and identity.
II. Today, thinking about
politics of revitalization movements
.
Using
Canada
as a case study:
A.
A country with an explicit commitment to
multiculturalism;
recognition of cultural diversity and the rights of people to maintain and practice their culture; and support for the maintenance of cultural heritage (including linguistic heritage).
B.
Also a country that has two official languages, English and French, as well as a multitude of indigenous languages belonging to First Nations and other native peoples (and of course many immigrant languages).
C.
Compare politics of language protection/revitalization b/w
French and aboriginal languages
.
III. French is recognized as an
official language
, however it is a minority language in the country as a whole and outside of Quebec.
A. In Quebec French is the dominant/majority language, is used alongside English in public signs, information, publications– all according to official state policy.
1. Bilingual education system is asymmetrical: French-dominant schools are bilingual (French is primary medium but English also taught), English-dominant schools offer French only as an optional “foreign language,”
2. In general French speakers are bilingual, English speakers monolingual.
3. Some French-sp. communities, esp. minorities outside Quebec, find themselves under pressure to use English at the expense of French.
B. The situation is complicated for some communities by the fact that there is

B. “Endangered languages with few Endangered = threatened – Manx
speakers should be protected from killer threatened by English –
languages such as English.” To what extent Ned Maddrell = last speaker of Manx
do you agree with this statement? For protection: loss of language also =
loss of culture and diversity. This is
important for human understanding.
Against protection: loss of languages is
