Open means different things to different communities.

Open resources can improve access to and participation in

research, education, technology, and culture…

But not enough people know what “open” means or how to

apply it

Copyright 4 Educators (AUS)

• The fourth cycle of the course was run in March 2013

• Very high retention rate

• Very happy learners

• Great results in terms of the uptake and understanding of the information

• The fifth cycle of the course is currently running

32

Why was the course so successful?

• Everything was set up for the students

• The course was incorporated into the NCU’s workload

• As the course was a part of our daily workload, we were able to quickly and effectively respond to issues

• We based groups on geographic location and school sector

• The only assignment for Week 2 was to get to know your group and choose an ICT tool

• A lot of teachers and librarians signed up together and requested to be in a group together

33

Why was the course so successful?

• The course was associated with the NCU and the NCU is very well known and respected around Australia

• Quick peer review and quick, positive facilitator feedback on assignments

• More than one facilitator

• The course satisfies professional development requirements of our learners

• Because the course was run by the NCU, many managers and principals required or strongly encourages their teachers, librarians, etc to take the course

34

Online course Do’s & Don’ts

• Have everything set up for the learners

• Preempt as many issues as possible

• Associate an online course with a physical, reputable entity

• Support your learners to the nth degree

• Don’t overload learners at the beginning of the course

• Don’t require them to form their own groups

• Don’t expect them to be ICT experts

35

OER in our course

• We had one assignment dedicated solely to OER

• This required the students to first tell us what they knew about OER as well as explain OER basics

• It also required them to find five OER resources

• Many students responded they were surprised at how easy it was to find OER as well as with the quality of the resources

• This also gave the NCU a great list of resources to put up on our website, distribute to teachers and spread OER through presentations

36

Positive feedback

• I found the course really useful. It gave me a deeper understanding of copyright and the issues related to use of materials in school settings. I also enjoyed 'meeting' and getting to know and work with some new colleagues. Thanks for your help and support Catherine and Rose and thank you Jessica and Delia for making me think!

• Just want to give a big, public thumbs up to Group 13 who, after a rocky start with no-shows, additions and withdrawals, finally got settled and worked so well together coping with the extra workload and continuallychanging roster! Thanks to the teams who gave us such positive feedback all the way through. We felt that the course was really well-constructed and paced and each of us learned so much that we now feel we can guide our colleagues, as teacher librarians seem to be the go-to people for copyright issues in schools. Thanks Jessica and Delia for all the support and feedback - it's critical to have such authoritative sources covering your back. Really appreciated.

37

Positive feedback

• I found both presenters to be very knowledgeable, approachable and supportive - there is a forum available for each topic and each one of my curly questions was answered promptly and professionally. If I had to recommend one professional learning opportunity for you to undertake this year as a teacher librarian, this would be it. The fact that it is free, does not involve travel or accommodation for those of us not in a metropolitan area and can be done at a time which suits you but within a manageable timeframe that is relatively easy to commit to are bonuses.

• Thanks Jessica and Delia for a well structured course that was supported by constructive feedback each week. Thank you also to Group One's members, my work colleagues. We worked very well together and also became proficient in using Lync online meetings which we held twice a week to formulate our responses. Thanks for your support, Kerry, Leita, Jan and Mirdula.

Creative Commons China Mainland with XLP

What is XLP?

eXtreme Learning Process

• A Peer-to-Peer Learning methodology

• A theoretical learning concept

• Aims to breakthrough traditional pedagogy ideals by carrying out new models of education.

Who initiate the idea?

• Founded in year 2007

• Advocates “learn by playing”

• Dedicated as a research center

• A meeting point

Pro. Benjamin Koo Hsueh-Yung from Tsinghua University

What are the features of XLP?

Feature 1: Dual-stage Design

You want to design the challenge, or want to take one?

CC Volunteers designed IP rules for the course, educated participantsabout CC,

In the 1st XLP Event early 2013

CC China Mainland volunteers designed the IP rules for this course, by integrating real-life IP law and regulations with thescenarios of the course. In the copyright rules, students were directed on how to claim their copyright in their slides, photos, and business plans, as well as to effectively share their works by using CC licenses.

Feature 2: Trans-discipline

Feature 3: Progress-aware

Feature 4: Content-oriented

• Flexibility makes ‘university’

• A single learning workflow --- adapt to different themes and contents

• Future process can be tailor to meet special needs

That’s the future university, the School of Open!

Prospective of XLP

• Digital Nation: Starting from summer 2013, XLP events are targeted at building a sustainable digital nation. The summer events include ‘XLP Family International’, ‘Tsinghua MEM Orientation’, and ‘Tsinghua International Summer Program, LEGO2NANO’.

• Future Universities: an online-to-offline learning ecology, composed of digital tools for content management, time management, workflow management, and team management. The goal is to connect the challengers from all around the world to a shared timeline and resource library, whether they are online or offline. This makes it possible for all the learners to access as much learning resources as possible.

Let’s have a on-site look at XLP

Translating P2PU

Korean translation

• Started March 2013 as a pilot for Asia Pacific• Courses in SOO vs. P2PU interface• Group translation – for better translations and

more fun• Via GitHub• Currently in review of the first draft

Tips for translators

• Have someone familiar w/ GitHub and someone who has experience in localization if possible

• Be ready to translate without context – spend more time on review

Questions to P2PU team

• Any reference file in excel format with categories?

• Status - next release schedule

Report on the Workshop „Wikimedia meets School of Open“, Berlin, March 2013

Goals:- kick-off German as a new language for SoO- produce new/translate existing courses

Idea:Celebrate the official launch of the School of Open in a productive way

Workshop Logistics

- Wikimedia Germany (WMDE) provided venue and basic catering

- It was presented as a joint project, the introduction to P2PU/SoO was done together by WMDE and CC DE

- People were invited in a joint effort by CC DE and WMDE; 9 attendees + facilitators

- Workshop scheduled from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Outcomes

- 3 course stubs in German:

- follow-up plans to meet on a regular basis at HIVE Berlin

- some new connections between key persons in the community

• „Bilder auf Wikimedia Commons hochladen“ (Contribute to Wikimedia Commons)• „Wie erstelle ich einen Kurs auf P2PU?“ (How to create a P2PU course)• „Freie Lernmaterialien in der Schule - OER für Lehrkräfte“ (OER for Educators)

Lessons learned

- Personal invitations were the only reliable way of reaching the right people, mailing lists and blog announcements didn't suffice

- individuals should be appointed as stewards for a course, otherwise the work remains unfinished

- half a day is NOT enough if people first need an introduction to P2PU, its interface and the general course concept

Questions

• What do affiliates want to achieve through SOO?• What are affilates’ priorities around open ed

awareness building? • What is the best way to address educational

resources in different languages and cultures?• How should we advocate/educate about CC to other

people?• How does SOO fit into the big picture, eg. Global OER

UNESCO movement• How do you get a supportive community to continue to

build on an initial course?
