Presentation given at the OEGlobal19 Conference on the relation between OER and OEP, based on the results of the Open Educators Factory project

1. Unveiling the relation between the use of OER
and the adoption of open teaching practices
in universities
Fabio Nascimbeni and Daniel Burgos
UNIR iTED

2. Who we are

4. The OEF project results to date
1. A definition of Open Educator
2. A framework to map teachers’ Open Education capacities
3. A platform to self assess teachers’ Open Education capacities
4. A set of open data (+1000 responses)
5. A number of research papers

5. The challenge: looking for a relation between OER
and Open Teaching

6. The relation between OER and Open teaching

7. Analysis frameworks

8. Definitions
3. Open teachers foster students’ knowledge co-creation and
contribution to public knowledge resources
2. Engaging teachers complement traditional teaching with
collaborative strategies and with innovative teaching methods
1. Traditional teachers adopt conventional lecture-based pedagogy
3. OER experts search for and share resources through social media
and repositories and spread their resources beyond the classroom.
2. Familiar with OER educators produce and share their resources
under open licences and reuse resources recommended by trusted
colleagues
1. New to OER educators do not consider whether the resources they
use are openly-licensed and do not release their content under open
licence

9. Openness capacity in a university
181 replies in total, data available through the OEF platform
Nascimbeni, Burgos, Campbell, Tabacco, Mapping openness capacities beyond OER: a ase study (under publication)

10. Use of OER and Open Teaching

11. Open Teaching varies with OER adoption

12. OER adoption is influences by Open Teaching

13. Some concluding considerations
1. RELATION. A positive relation between use off OER and open
teaching approaches (expectedly) exists, and viceversa
2. COMPLEXITY. The equation “OER use = Open teaching” is not
always true
3. DIFFERENTIATION. This confirms the importance of working
across different areas of openness and of providing diverse entry
points into openness
4. Need to explore further (we are on it…)

14. This is an open research project
