“Nearly one-third of the world’s population (29.3%) is under 15. Today there are 158 million people enrolled in

tertiary education. Projections suggest that that participation will peak at 263 million in 2025.

Accommodating the additional 105 million

students would require more than four major universities (30,000 students) to open every week for

the next fifteen years. “

Open CourseWare (OCW)

“OpenCourseWare, or OCW, is a term applied to course materials created by universities and shared freely with the

world via the internet.”

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCourseWare

The movement started in 1999 when the University of Tübingen in Germany published videos of lectures online.

The OCW movement only took off, however, with the launch of MIT OpenCourseWare at MIT in October 2002.

“Founded by three roboticists who believed much of the educational value of their university

classes could be offered online for very low cost. A few weeks later, over 160,000 students in more than 190 countries enrolled in their first class, "Introduction to Artificial

Intelligence."

http://www.udacity.com/

Next Class? February 20th

2012

More Importantly…

23,000 students passed the online course (253 got perfect scores).

Professor Thrun has taught more students the subject than all of the rest of the computer science professors in the world.

Out of the 200 Stanford students attending the traditional course, only 41 were in class at the end of the course.

The other 159 opted for the online asynchronous presentation.

410 online students outperformed the top Stanford student!

Students taught students (Q&A ranking system).

Students themselves translated the class for free from English into 44 languages.

Video About MIT OCW (2007)

http://youtu.be/tbQ-FeoEvTI

What is MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW)?

MIT OpenCourseWare is a free publication of MIT course materials that reflects almost all the undergraduate and graduate subjects taught at MIT.

IMPORTANTLY

OCW is NOT an MIT education.

OCW DOES NOT grant degrees or certificates.

OCW DOES NOT provide access to MIT faculty.

Materials MAY NOT reflect entire content of the course.

Source: http://ocw.mit.edu/about/

MIT OCW Stats 2000+ courses published.

133 million visits by 95 million visitors.

1 million visits each month.

Translations receive 500,000 more.

Source (accessed 19/04/2012): http://ocw.mit.edu/about/site-statistics/

MIT OCW Audience

MIT OCW audience is divided among:

Source (accessed 19/04/2012): http://ocw.mit.edu/about/site-statistics/

MIT OCW Uses

MIT OpenCourseWare is being used for a wide range of purposes.

Source (accessed 19/04/2012): http://ocw.mit.edu/about/site-statistics/

80% rate OCW's impact as extremely positive or positive.

91% expect that level of future impact.

96% of educators say the site has/will help improve courses.

96% of visitors would recommend the site.

MIT OCW Development

An average of 100 hours effort to produce one course.

MIT faculty devote 5-10 hours for each course.

12 publication staff work directly with the faculty.

2 intellectual property staff.

4 production staff support the publication team.

5 outreach and administrative staff manage communications, media relations, outreach, program evaluation, and OCW's sustainability.

http://ocw.mit.edu/donate/why-donate/

MIT OCW Cost

The total annual cost is about $3.5 million.

Cost per Non-video-based course: $10,000–$15,000

Cost per Video-based course: $30,000

For each course MIT OCW publish, they must: Compile course materials from faculty;

Ensure proper licensing for open sharing;

Format materials for global distribution;

Sustain technical infrastructure (software/hardware network); and

Provide and support local mirror sites in bandwidth constrained regions.

Article: http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/IR/id/1021 MIT site: http://ocw.mit.edu/donate/why-donate/

Revenue Cost

http://ocw.mit.edu/donate/why-donate/

Projected that OCW reserves will run out in FY2014 without significant changes in their current funding model.

Challenge is to offset the loss of grant funds with substantial increases in revenues such as: Donations

Endowments

Corporate sponsorships, and;

Alternative sources of revenue.

EdX: The Future of Online Education is Now

“MIT & Harvard edX's goal is to educate one billion people around the world…Planet scale access from one shared platform!”

http://youtu.be/SA6ELdIRkRU

MIT + Harvard = edX

http://www.edxonline.org/

MIT and Harvard have invested

$60 million ($30 million each)

to launch the collaboration.

Anant Agarwal President, edX

What is edX?

An organization established by MIT and Harvard that will develop an open-source technology platform to deliver online courses.

EdX is based on MITx, a technological platform from MIT designed that offers online versions of their courses.

MITx course sample: https://6002x.mitx.mit.edu/

edX Features Include…

Self-paced learning

Video lessons

Embedded testing

Real-time feedback

Online discussion groups

Student-ranked questions and answers

Collaborative web-based laboratories

http://www.edxonline.org/faqs.html

The platform will also serve as a laboratory from which data will be gathered to better understand how students learn. Because it is open source, the platform will be continuously improved.

WHY Are They Doing This?

To improve education on campus and around the world: On Campus

edX research will enhance our understanding of how students learn and how technologies can best be used as part of our larger efforts to improve teaching and learning.

Beyond edX will expand access to education, allow for certificates of mastery to be earned by able learners, and make the open source platform available to other institutions.

http://www.edxonline.org/faqs.html

So, Are You Planning to Use edX?

The edX website will begin by hosting MITx and Harvardx content, with the goal of adding content from other universities interested in joining the platform.

Image source: http://bit.ly/KoEHm5

But, Please REMEMBER…

“The campus environment offers opportunities and experiences that cannot be replicated online…EdX is

designed to improve, NOT REPLACE, the campus experience.”

In 2010, the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) commissioned

the University of Oxford to undertake a study to assess the impact of

the use of OER in the UK higher education sector.

The study team conducted interviews and held workshops with staff

(strategists and tutors) and students from 11 universities across the

sector.

The ‘OER Impact Study’ ran from November 2010 to June 2011.

Recommendations

Enhancing Teaching Practice

Approach online resources primarily as a means to enhance your

practice, not necessarily as a way to develop a course more

quickly.

Adopt an open approach to your academic practice, seeking to

share resources and ideas both within your disciplinary

community and beyond it.

http://bit.ly/LXQx55

1

Recommendations

Supporting Learners

Provide opportunities for students to share, discuss and critique the

online resources that they have discovered themselves.

Continue to evaluate and collate online resources in order to scaffold

students’ access to online resources.

In study skills tuition, pay attention to sources other than ‘conventional’

text. Continue to improve digital literacy, especially in relation to non-

textual sources.

When teaching students referencing and citation skills, include non-

traditional sources such as podcasts and videos.

http://bit.ly/LXQx55

2

Recommendations

Improving Services to Students and Staff

When setting out students’ expectations and entitlements in relation to their learning experience, provide appropriate justification and assurances regarding the incorporation of resources originating from other institutions.

Capitalise on existing professional development activities in order to foster a voluntary culture of sharing and reuse.

Consider the reuse of online resources strategically, assessing their potential to save time or offer other efficiencies over a longer term rather than a shorter term and take account of the fact that teachers may perceive the benefits differently.

http://bit.ly/LXQx55

3

Recommendations

Funding Bodies

Continue to support the production of OER in the context of reuse and consider targeting that support towards the development of interdisciplinary resources and resources in under-represented disciplines.

Support and promote ‘open’ approaches in teaching and learning practice.

Continue to support the development of technologies to improve the discoverability of OER produced by universities.

Lobby for the easing of copyright restrictions where resources are to be used for educational purposes.

http://bit.ly/LXQx55

4

Recommendations

Further Research

Further research into the reuse, in a global context, of full courses/modules of OER produced in your country.

Further research into the optimal ways to foster teachers’ reuse of OER.

Sharing, Remixing & Repurposing OER

Source: https://openeducationalresources.pbworks.com/w/page/25228307/OER%20Myths

OER Development Cycle? The OER LIFE CYCLE begins with a desire or need to learn or teach something. The following sequence of steps illustrates a typical development process:

No Steps Description

1. Find Search and find OERs using variety of OER search engines and look for existing resource lists made available online by experts.

2. Create With a collection of resources at your disposal, start fusing them together to form a learning resource. When creating OERs take into account usability, durability, accessibility and effectiveness, especially regarding format (output).

3. Localize Making a resource more useful to a particular situation (contextualizing). This may involve minor corrections and improvements, remixing components, localization and even complete rework for use in diverse contexts.

4. Remix Remixing is the act of taking two (or more) OER materials and merging them to form a new OER.

5. License Select the appropriate Creative Commons license for your OER project.

6. Use This covers the actual use of OER for your context.

7. Share Once an OER is finished, make it available for the open education community to re-use and begin the life cycle again.

Before finding and remixing OERs, set the course/module/topic aims and objectives (and course outline if possible). It might change as you develop, but it is good to have a starting destination (or map).

OER Evaluation Tools?

To help you determine the aspects of quality of OERs, Achieve has developed eight rubrics in collaboration with leaders from the OER community:

1. Degree of Alignment to Standards

2. Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter

3. Utility of Materials Designed to Support Teaching

4. Quality of Assessment

5. Quality of Technological Interactivity

6. Quality of Instructional Tasks and Practice Exercises

7. Opportunities for Deeper Learning

8. Assurance of Accessibility
