DESCRIPTION

The presentation slides for my talk on Open Educational Resources (OER) at MEIPTA's (Malaysian Public Universities e-Learning Council) 16th Roundtable Meeting at UTeM (in Malacca) on the 18th September, 2012. It explores OER and how we can find, reuse, remix, create and share them. It provides a lot of excellent resources and tips, too. It also shares two BIG IDEAS on how to create awareness and inspire OER development in Malaysia.

“Nearly one-third of the world’s population (29.3%) is under 15. Today there are 158 million people enrolled in

tertiary education. Projections suggest that that participation will peak at 263 million in 2025.

Accommodating the additional 105 million

students would require more than four major universities (30,000 students) to open every week for

the next fifteen years. “

- Sir John Daniel

build four major universities (30,000 students) to open every

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."

Benefits of OER?

1. Freedom of access; both for yourself and others.

2. Freedom from proprietary systems and corporations.

3. Contributes to the local and global community.

4. Encourages pedagogical innovations (beyond the textbook).

5. Sharing development costs of learning resources among institutions.

6. Co-creation empowers more collaboration, creativity and critical thinking.

7. Accessibility of resources previously unavailable to specific groups of people.

8. Saves time and effort through the reusing and remixing of resources.

9. Potentially beneficial to developing nations.

10. Lowers costs to students.

Page 17: OER Talk to MEIPTA

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.

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.

MOOC Example?

“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

Page 83: OER Talk to MEIPTA

More Importantly…

23,000 students passed the online course (253 got perfect scores).

Professor Thrun has taught more students the subject than all of the rest of the computer science professors in the world.

The 23,000 who passed the course represent more students than most faculty will teach in their career.

Out of the 200 Stanford students attending the traditional course, only 41 were in class at the end of the course.

The other 159 opted for the online asynchronous presentation.

410 online students outperformed the top Stanford student!

Students are teaching students (Q&A ranking system).

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

The on-campus passing rate was the highest ever.

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. “

Creating OER and Combining Licenses

Page 131: OER Talk to MEIPTA

OER Development 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 Tools?

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?

Emphasize on the ‘E’ and ‘O’ in OER Open (Learning & Teaching)

Practices Qualities of Open (Learning) Content

http://bit.ly/LXQx55

Page 152: OER Talk to MEIPTA

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

Page 154: OER Talk to MEIPTA

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.
