“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. “
- Sir John Daniel
“What do you think the odds are the world will
build four major universities (30,000 students) to open every

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
- Nelson Mandela Source: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Nelson_Mandela
Open Education
"...is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and
that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an
extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge."

LEGAL FINANCIAL
Benefits of OER?
1. Freedom of access; both for yourself and others.
2. Freedom from proprietary systems and corporations.
3. Contributes to the local and global community.
4. Encourages pedagogical innovations (beyond the textbook).
5. Sharing development costs of learning resources among institutions.
6. Co-creation empowers more collaboration, creativity and critical thinking.
7. Accessibility of resources previously unavailable to specific groups of people.
8. Saves time and effort through the reusing and remixing of resources.
9. Potentially beneficial to developing nations.
10. Lowers costs to students.
Adapted from: http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/mod/oucontent/view.php?id=397777§ion=1.2
Challenges of OER?
1. Quality varies.
2. Varying degrees of time commitment.
3. Teachers sometimes not rewarded by the system for their efforts.
4. May not meet accessibility requirements for persons with disabilities.
5. Need to check accuracy before use.
6. May need a high degree of customization (or localization).
7. Technical requirements vary and some require you to use a particular software.
8. Requires varying degrees of continual financial support.
9. Licensing and obtaining copyright clearance can be difficult.
10. Some institutions may be concerned about ‘giving it away’.

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.
OPEN CONTENT
OER
Difference between OCW and OER?
OCW Focuses on sharing open content that is developed specifically for a course.
OER Includes any educational content that is shared under an open license, whether or not it is a part of a course.
OCW is a subset of OER.

Open Textbooks (e-books) An open textbook is an openly-licensed textbook offered online by its author(s) or through a non-profit or commercial open-licensed publisher.
Minimum baseline rights allow users to:
Use the textbook without compensating the author;
Copy the textbook, with appropriate credit to the author;
Distribute the textbook non-commercially; and
Shift the textbook into another format (such as digital or print).
Many authors also grant rights such as to:
Add, remove or alter content in the textbook, often on the condition that derivative works must have the same license;
Copy and distribute the textbook without giving credit to the author; and
Use the textbook commercially.

Three Kinds of MOOCs
http://lisahistory.net/wordpress/2012/08/three-kinds-of-moocs/
- Lisa M. Lane
MOOC Example?
“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.
The 23,000 who passed the course represent more students than most faculty will teach in their career.
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 are teaching students (Q&A ranking system).
Students themselves translated the class for free from English into 44 languages.
The on-campus passing rate was the highest ever.

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.
146 million visits by 104 million visitors.
1 million visits each month (Translations: 500,000 more).
Translations receive 500,000 more.

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.

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.

OER Development Life 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).

Emphasize on the ‘E’ and ‘O’ in OER Open (Learning & Teaching)
Practices Qualities of Open (Learning) Content
http://bit.ly/LXQx55
Individual Strategy?
Choose your License Be clear about your license choice and about what it covers.
Use Open Content! Promote open content by using open content and remixing others’ work.
Cite your sources! Include license info and link to license on website.
Make it adaptable!
Make your content available in multiple file formats (pdf, .ppt, .odt, .doc, etc).
Ensure that users can download your content, not simply access.
