SNH – Cooperation for Netbased University Education

GoalDelvelop, produce, remix and share OER and netbased coursesWeb siteOpenSNH www.opensnh.se and www.snh.se (built with OMEKA.org)Members• Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company (UR.se)• Mid Sweden University (MIUN.se)• University of Gävle (HiG.se)Budget and dependenceMember fee 1000 EURO per year. All incremental costs, work time and contributions is payed by the member or contributor.

OpenSNH.se – Web site with OER and Theme pages

OERTV- and radioprograms from UR.se, Recorded lectures/webinars, Podcast, Self instructed assignments (PBL), Quiz/online test, interactive mindmaps, e-books, web documentsTheme pagesSustainable development, Academic writing & study techniques, Theory of Science & Science methods, Open Educational Resources (how to produce them), Philosophy (We create 2-3 theme per year.)Open learning toolsInfact.se – Interactive mindmaps, Web tools for producing OER - both open source, web2.0 and licenced is used

Sustainable OERPraxis• Draw on learning object used in current courses• Using criteria: lifecycle, provenience, orginality, broadness, depth,

prominence, reliability and solidity• Cooperate with universities, networks and other organizations

and educational companies• Agreements that sometimes take a while gain approval for• Remix learning material that have been well used before• Produce OER that fill a gap for others and use TV- and

radioprogram with outstanding quality form UR.se

Add metadata• Librarians add metadata, model Dublin Core Extended• Enhenced metadata, relevant symbols for the OER

Metadata - valueable and worthwhile…

Additional value• Searching with Google• Searching on the web site• We do agreements that sometimes take a while gain

approval for (CC-license)• Remix learning material that have been well used before• Produce OER that fill a gap for others and use TV- and

radioprogram with outstanding quality form UR.se• OER also in english

Add metadata• Librarians add metadata, model Dublin Core Extended• Enhenced metadata, relevant symbols for the OER

Tools for mOOCWorkable tools now• Quiz and online tests (now Fiftysneakers.com)• Theme pages and Infact.se – nonlinear learning paths• Dicussions via TalkAbout (Standford, GoogleHangout)• Syllabus via SALSA* and open source PDF-forms

Future tools and models• Using the theme pages in OpenSNH (OMEKA) as mOOC?• Create stand alone Syllabus/Study gudies to integrate in

ordinary LMS as MOODLE, Blackboard et cetera• Using a MOOC-plattform on the market or open source

AccessibilityWAVE – to map out and analyze• Single OER• Theme pages• Learning tools used for OER

Enhenced Metadata as support (symbols)

Comparison MOOC and OER Repository about source criticism

Critera for the comparison was the following; openness, flexibility, multimodal, remix, accessibility, time to learn content, shareable, searchable, use offline, assessment/test as a learning opportunity and possibility to create your own content/learning material or test/assessments.The two (2) compared ways of find and access to learn about source criticism (“källkritik” in Swedish) was via the open courses (MOOC) at Webbstjärnan http://kurs.webbstjarnan.se/ and the OER Repository named Open SNH, www.opensnh.se .

REF: http://kurs.webbstjarnan.se/kurser/kallkritik/REF: http://www.opensnh.se/ > search query > källkritik

Minor comparison matrix

Use up to now and the futureNow• Using Google analytic, for whom accessed the OpenSNH

and the theme pages• Other networks and websites using the OER• Theme pages and singel OER integrated in current

courses• Theme pages used as intro in self paced learning

activities

Further development• All OER and theme pages have high accessibility • Syllabus / Study gudies created as open courses with

Badges and with option to apply for an Examination
