“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

- Nelson Mandela 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."

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.

260+ Universities and

associated organizations

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.

What is a MOOC?

Massive

Open

Online

Course

http://www.slideshare.net/gsiemens/moocs-educause

A type of online course aimed at large-scale participation and open access via the web.

xMOOC cMOOC

Instructional Design Approaches

Adapted from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_open_online_course

Approaches Examples

1. Crowd-sourced interaction & feedback

Peer-review, group collaboration, blogs (assignments), wikis , Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds (aggregation) & other Social Media/Web 2.0 tools.

2. Automated feedback

Online assessments: quizzes, auto-corrected simulations, exams, etc.

cMOOCs rely on approach 1, while xMOOCs rely more on approach 2 to empower large participation and open access learning.

MOOC Image: http://gbl55.wordpress.com/2011/03/08/cck11-man-this-mooc-is-something-else/

cMOOC? Based on CONNECTIVISM

1. Aggregation Newsletter/RSS feeds

2. Remixing Social knowledge creation & sensemaking

3. Re-purposing (1 + 2) For personal learning

4. Feeding forward (3) To participants and the rest of the world.

PARTICIPATION & EXPLORATION is more important than answering

correctly!

Connectivist design principles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_open_online_course

xMOOC?

“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."

Next Class? February 20th

2012

More Importantly…

23,000 students passed (253 got perfect scores)

410 online students outperformed the top Stanford student!

Students were teaching students (Q&A voting system).

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

Finding your NICHE among multiple educational delivery models.

The NEW LEGITIMACY of Online Education will lead to new pressures.

Online Education SHOULD LOWER, not raise, student costs.

Online Education will INCREASE COMPETITION.

If license used incorrectly will I be sued?

“Short answer: possibly!

Long answer: You should do your best to understand the terms of the license under which you use an OER.

http://wikieducator.org/OER_Handbook/educator_version_one/License/License_compatibility

Most common ways to VIOLATE:

Making commercial or for-profit use of an OER whose license includes the Non-commerical (NC) clause

Making derivative works from an OER whose license includes the No-Derivatives (ND) clause

Failing to share derivatives of an OER, whose license includes the Share-Alike (SA) clause, under the same license. “

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.

http://ocw.mit.edu/about/site-statistics/

* Updated 09/11/2012

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/

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.

Framework Guiding Selection and Use of OERs and Non-

OERs

Prof. Dr. John Arul Phillips

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).

OER Evaluation Tool?

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

Why not Become an Open Scholar?

http://www.slideshare.net/houshuang/what-it-means-to-be-an-open-scholar-and-the-future-of-scholarly-publishing

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.

Source (slide 39): http://www.slideshare.net/epuckettrodgers/openmichigan-at-um-flint

National Strategy?

1. Foster awareness and use of OER.

2. Facilitate enabling environments for use of ICT.

3. Reinforce the development of strategies and policies on OER.

4. Promote the understanding and use of open licensing frameworks.

5. Support capacity building for the sustainable development of quality learning materials.

6. Foster strategic alliances for OER.

7. Encourage the development and adaptation of OER in a variety of languages and cultural contexts.

8. Encourage research on OER.

9. Facilitate finding, retrieving and sharing of OER.

10. Encourage the open licensing of educational materials produced with public funds.
