"Thinking About Open is a half-day workshop exploring what openness and open educational practices are. The workshop aims to help instigate discussion at your organisation on how openness could make a difference to your own practices whilst acting as a springboard for further discussion on the practicalities of open practice. The workshop utilises a range of case studies and examples of openness to help facilitate discussion.
This workshop is aimed at anyone with an interest in finding out more about openness and how it can make a difference to their own practice." (Reference: https://oepscotland.org/events/workshops/)
This presentation addresses the practical and pedagogical benefits of wiki use. It also shows the contexts in which wikis can be useful and highlights a number of great wiki sites in each of these contexts.

By now you no longer need convincing. Wikipedia is not only a ubiquitous reference platform for our users, but is also home to a thriving, global volunteer community that is eager to distribute the deeper expertise residing in museums. So now what? As a group of Wikipedians who help museums share content, GLAM-Wiki has made great strides in formalizing over the past few years. But how do museum technologists better connect and interface with this resource? How can we work together to more efficiently share our media, research, and expertise?
This presentation shares the current progress of the GLAM-Wiki infrastructure, offering insights into how museums can best connect with the Wikipedia community in order to share cultural resources on the globally accessible platform. The future of GLAM-Wiki will be considered, including a proposed model that will allow museums to support one another in Wikipedia-focused endeavors.

OERRH Data Report 2013-2015: Informal LearnersOER Hub
In 2013 the Hewlett-funded OER Research Hub Project created a bank of survey questions to test eleven hypotheses related to the impact of OER use on teaching and learning. In the two years that followed, a number of bespoke surveys were designed and administered in collaboration with the Flipped Learning Network, Vital Signs, the Community Colleges Consortium for Open Educational Resources, OpenLearn, Saylor Academy, OpenStax, BCcampus, Siyavula, School of Open-P2PU and CoPILOT. Responses from each survey were then combined into a larger dataset to allow for comparison and in-depth examination.
The current report, first in a series of three, presents a frequencies analysis of responses from informal learners, i.e. those learners not registered on a course of study at an educational institution.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Thinking About Open: "What is Open?"
1. “Open means many things … open can mean open
enrollment [e.g. MOOCs]; that you break down the
barrier of who can take or can’t take a class. An
entirely different kind of open is around open source
and open to innovate on. To share... That’s more an
intellectual properly thing: the ability to share and the
intellectual enterprise.
And then I think, much like in the open source
movement, there’s also a … there’s a lot of confusion
around the word open and also a lot people, when
things are free, they conflate that with open. And so
I thinkthat the short answer is that open means many
different things to many different people…”

3. “Openness means that I’m willing to share and others are willing
to share. And that as much as we possibly can, we take our
egos out of this and we work collaboratively for the end all.
Which in an educational setting the end all is student learning.
So, I got involved with OER because of cost savings for
students, and I’m still strongly there with cost savings for
students, but what I’ve found is the unintended consequence
… was that student learning improved because of the fact that
others could repurpose, others could use. We’re now studying
success rates; I am making no claims at all about success rates
going up with openness… [But] what I do know is that they have
not gone down…
But the openness part … I think it’s a trend of faculty
starting to collaborate more … Community College faculty tend
to work in silos, we don’t have that many grants, most of us
don’t publish. So we just go in and we teach, we do our stuff
and then we go back. What I’ve seen is that more faculty are
willing to share materials … we’re able to work together for
improvements… I’ve seen departments get together and write
the textbooks for their students, and so they all have ownership
in this and when you’re all vested in this then you all want to
use it.”

5. “So, why did we choose to write this particular open textbook
using this particular method? A number of reasons. First, the
sprint method has a set deadline with a set outcome. The
combination of strict deadline with a concrete outcome at the
end of that deadline provided momentum to keep the project
moving forward over the four days…
Second, the sprint offers a great opportunity to begin
developing a community around the textbook. Sustainability is
always an issue with the development of open educational
resources; how will these resources be maintained in the
future?
One of the sustainability models that we think has the
most potential is a model of community stewardship where a
group of educators who use the book take ownership of the
book. The intense nature of the sprint provides a great
opportunity to begin to develop this community by bringing
together a group of faculty from across institutions interested in
not only creating, but also adopting what they create. Moving
forward, we hope this group of authors will form the nucleus of
the community that can steward this textbook…”

not know which bus to catch. Signposts are not very helpful,
particularly if you are young and a newcomer to the capital city.
Locals and bus drivers usually tell him where to get off the bus,
but sometimes they forget. He used to write down addresses
and bus numbers on small pieces of paper, which he was used
to lose. This morning he lost those little pieces of paper again.
It was enough. He decided he would do something about it.
Later, at night, he went online and found some data published
about Montevideo’s public transport system, and also
geographical datasets. Things startedto get in motion. A couple
of weeks later, working mostly in his free time, he designed an
application that would help everyone with a smart phone to
figure out how to navigate the city public transport system. Later
on, he teamed up with friends who were experts in design and
usability and in two months, a beautiful and usable open data
application named GxBus was born. There were no authorities
involved, no access to information requests, just a[n] Issue,
creativity and a public dataset. More than 11500 users have
registered so far and 5500 installation are still active in Ios and

Richer Understanding of Global
News”
“In 2009, Al Jazeera launched the world’s first repository of broadcast-
quality video footage released under a Creative Commons license. The
news network made select video footage available for free under CC BY
to be downloaded, shared, remixed, subtitled and even rebroadcast by
users and TV stations across the world, under the condition that they
attribute the material to Al Jazeera.
“A large part of embracing free culture is accepting the fact that you are
forsaking control in exchange for something greater – the empowerment
of the creative community,” says Mohamed Nanabhay, head of online at
Al Jazeera English. Soon after the network posted the first CC videos,
“surprising and delightful” things started happening. “Educators,
filmmakers, videogame developers, aid agencies and music video
producers all used and built upon our footage,” says Nanabhay.
While the content has proven valuable to others, what has its openness
meant for Al Jazeera? Nanabhay says that increasing the availability and
usability of Al Jazeera’s content has resulted in more viewers, especially
ones from parts of the world that aren’t able to watch the network’s
programming on TV. The numbers have been impressive. According to
Nanabhay, traffic on Al Jazeera’s CC video repository increased 723
percent after footage of the Egyptian uprising was made available under
Creative Commons.”

School
“Open Source Course:
In most courses, teachers use a reference textbook
combined with their own material to teach. In some
courses, teachers or teacher teams develop their own
materials instead of a textbook, but those materials are
usually private or unable to be shared openly due to
copyright restrictions connected to how they were made.
This course has been fully developed from scratch without
such restrictions and is released free on the web for any
teacher or student to use or remix. As a result, I do not treat
this curriculum as "mine" -- it belongs to the class and to the
world. This also means that I encourage and expect you to
contribute to its development and improvement. This
occurs in a significant way through the "Course
Improvement (CI)" project where, in teams, you either build
a new learning module or target an existing module for
major improvements. This also occurs in small ways
though day-to-day feedback, generating new ideas, and
improving practice problems and solutions.”

education and I used some analogies of social changes that

Then somebody twitted a link to Paul Fusco’s photographs of the

picture. Itwas a photographI had never before seenof him because
in our family he tended to be the photographer, he was behind the
camera, so we’ve very few pictures of him. He died a long time ago,
when I was 18, so it was suddenly amazing to find a photograph of
him. (…) It was just amazing to see him.
(C): I talk a lot about the benefits of openness and, when we share
things online, things happen that are often way outside our
expectations and can be wonderfulthings. We oftenfocus,when we
are talking about openness in schools, on the dangerous things
about learning out in the openbut I think it is important to remember
that these kinds of things happen as well.”
Catherine Cronin (C), educator at National University of Ireland, Galway,
in conversation with Laurence Cuffe (L), Maths educator at Wicklow
VEC, Ireland.

19. TellMeScotland
“TellMeScotland is Scotland’s national public information
notices (PINs) portal, allowing public notices across
Scotland to be published in a single online location for the
first time. Public information notices are announcements
that local authorities are legally required to publish.
(…)
Visitors can click on a virtual map of Scotland to see listings
of public notices in any area, satellite imagery of their
location and information on the issues involved. The aim is
to provide improved accessibility to enhanced statutory
information. By making public information notices (and the
data underpinning them) available on an open data portal,
TellMeScotland allows them to be re-used and fashioned
by members of the public and other organisations for their
own purposes. The portal is scalable for use by the wider
public sector and is part of a major national shared services
collaboration.”
