INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
ANNOUNCEMENT: The book “Unlocking the Gates: How and Why Leading Universities are Opening Up Access to Their Courses” by Taylor Walsh was published.
While we are seeing huge growth, we need to figure out how to ensure that the impact of OER is GREATER than the sum of its parts.

CALIFORNIA POLICY
DEEPER LEARNING
OPEN EDUCATIONALRESOURCES
Hewlett has taken a FRESH LOOK at its OER grant making in light of new opportunities and remaining challenges
In 2011 Hewlett will support the infrastructure of OER with the following 5 COMPONENTS:
Opportunistic Innovation
High quality supply
Supportive Policies
Implementable Standards
Influential Research
Hewlett will also look for high leverage international partnerships to help OER
SCALE GLOBALLY…
HEWLETT’S OER WHITE PAPEROUTCOMES GOALS LONG-TERM GOAL
OER producers sustainability provide high-quality resources for the core academic subjects in K-12 and higher education
Supportive policies remove restrictions on OER funding and implementation, and provide incentives to support OER
Implementable standards that guide OER development and increase discoverability, interoperability, and accessibility are in place and used
Influential research spurs demand for and guides production of OER
Opportunistic innovation helps build an OER pipeline that continuously transforms teaching and learning
The mainstream adoption of OER sustainability increases educational capacity
OER increases learning gains by delivering personalized education experiences and reducing costs
Equalize access to knowledge for teachers and students around the globe through OER
CALIFORNIA POLICY
DEEPER LEARNING
OPEN EDUCATIONALRESOURCES
Hewlett announced its Deeper Learning Strategy last year, and has made SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS since then
HOW HEWLETT DEFINES DEEPER LEARNING
Content Knowledge
• Master core academic content • Acquire, apply and expand knowledge
Cognitive Strategies• Think critically and solve complex problems• Communicate effectively
Learning Behaviors
• Work collaboratively• Learn how to learn

3.
Primarily we are focused on developing new tools that will help all teachers support deeper learning in their classroom, including curriculum, teacher professional development, and both formative and summative assessments.Creating a national network of exemplary schools, districts and community colleges to serve as models. These schools provide proof that deeper learning outcomes are possible for all students, even the most disadvantaged.PROOF
POINTS
POLICY
PRACTICE
UPDATE ON 3P’s
We aim to change state and federal policies to hold schools accountable for delivering deeper learning to all students. We believe better assessments are the lynchpin to making this change.
OER CAN PROMOTE DEEPER LEARNING GOALS
CALIFORNIA POLICY
OPEN EDUCATIONALRESOURCES
DEEPER LEARNIN
G
• PISA for schools
• Open formative assessment item bank
• Open source management system
• Curriculum adoption policies
We have seen a year of great opportunity - the challenge going forward is how to operate as a coherent field, on a much LARGER SCALE than ever before
