Why do Universities participatein OpenCourseWare? 52. Why? Philosophical Expanding access to education & knowledge Building on others ideas Creating possibilities for new educationalsystems Maximizing educational euros 53. Why? Institutional benefits Showcasing existing courses and educationalquality transparency = respect & trust good public relations 54. Why? Institutional benefits Strengthen teaching and learning outcomes Provide examples of excellence for faculty andstudents Professional development Supports student learning Can lead topartnerships, collaborations, recognition 55. Why? Outreach benefits Bridge between secondary and highereducation Skill and knowledge courses available to preparestudents for higher education Assist disadvantaged learners and those returningto education Insure good fit between student and institution 56. Why? Outreach benefits Workforce development Updating skills Retraining sectors that are downsizing or becoming dated Pathways to short courses or certificatesUS Department of Labor $2,000,000,000 TAA grant specifically to supportcreation of job retraining OER 57. Why? Innovation Current global higher ed system cant reacheveryone who wants an education. Cost and access barriers to current system. Systems dont serve everyone equally well. UNESCOs world conference on Higher Education projects that post- secondary education will need to provide places for an additional 98 million learners over the next 15 years. Stated differently, this would require "require more than four major universities (30,000 students) to open every week for the next fifteen years". (Daniel 2011.) 58. Some examples 59.
