“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. “

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

- Nelson Mandela Source: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Nelson_Mandela

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.

Adapted from: http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/mod/oucontent/view.php?id=397777&section=1.2

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 CONTENT

OER

Difference between OCW and OER?

OCW Focuses on sharing open content that is developed specifically for a course.

OER Includes any educational content that is shared under an open license, whether or not it is a part of a course.

OCW is a subset of OER.

Three Kinds of MOOCs

http://lisahistory.net/wordpress/2012/08/three-kinds-of-moocs/

- Lisa M. Lane

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."

http://www.udacity.com/

Next Class? February 20th

2012

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.

What is MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW)?

MIT OpenCourseWare is a free publication of MIT course materials that reflects almost all the undergraduate and graduate subjects taught at MIT.

IMPORTANTLY

OCW is NOT an MIT education.

OCW DOES NOT grant degrees or certificates.

OCW DOES NOT provide access to MIT faculty.

Materials MAY NOT reflect entire content of the course.

Source: http://ocw.mit.edu/about/

MIT OCW Stats 2000+ courses published.

146 million visits by 104 million visitors.

1 million visits each month (Translations: 500,000 more).

Translations receive 500,000 more.

MIT OCW Uses

MIT OpenCourseWare is being used for a wide range of purposes.

Source (accessed 19/04/2012): http://ocw.mit.edu/about/site-statistics/

80% rate OCW's impact as extremely positive or positive.

91% expect that level of future impact.

96% of educators say the site has/will help improve courses.

96% of visitors would recommend the site.

MIT OCW Development

An average of 100 hours effort to produce one course.

MIT faculty devote 5-10 hours for each course.

12 publication staff work directly with the faculty.

2 intellectual property staff.

4 production staff support the publication team.

5 outreach and administrative staff manage communications, media relations, outreach, program evaluation, and OCW's sustainability.

http://ocw.mit.edu/donate/why-donate/

MIT OCW Cost

The total annual cost is about $3.5 million.

Cost per Non-video-based course: $10,000–$15,000

Cost per Video-based course: $30,000

For each course MIT OCW publish, they must:

Compile course materials from faculty;

Ensure proper licensing for open sharing;

Format materials for global distribution;

Sustain technical infrastructure (software/hardware network); and

Provide and support local mirror sites in bandwidth constrained regions.

Article: http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/IR/id/1021 MIT site: http://ocw.mit.edu/donate/why-donate/

Revenue Cost

http://ocw.mit.edu/donate/why-donate/

Projected that OCW reserves will run out in FY2014 without significant changes in their current funding model.

Challenge is to offset the loss of grant funds with substantial increases in revenues such as:

Donations

Endowments

Corporate sponsorships, and;

Alternative sources of revenue.

In 2010, the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) commissioned

the University of Oxford to undertake a study to assess the impact of

the use of OER in the UK higher education sector.

The study team conducted interviews and held workshops with staff

(strategists and tutors) and students from 11 universities across the

sector.

The ‘OER Impact Study’ ran from November 2010 to June 2011.

Recommendations

Enhancing Teaching Practice

Approach online resources primarily as a means to enhance your

practice, not necessarily as a way to develop a course more

quickly.

Adopt an open approach to your academic practice, seeking to

share resources and ideas both within your disciplinary

community and beyond it.

http://bit.ly/LXQx55

1

Recommendations

Supporting Learners

Provide opportunities for students to share, discuss and critique the

online resources that they have discovered themselves.

Continue to evaluate and collate online resources in order to scaffold

students’ access to online resources.

In study skills tuition, pay attention to sources other than ‘conventional’

text. Continue to improve digital literacy, especially in relation to non-

textual sources.

When teaching students referencing and citation skills, include non-

traditional sources such as podcasts and videos.

http://bit.ly/LXQx55

2

Recommendations

Improving Services to Students and Staff

When setting out students’ expectations and entitlements in relation to their learning experience, provide appropriate justification and assurances regarding the incorporation of resources originating from other institutions.

Capitalise on existing professional development activities in order to foster a voluntary culture of sharing and reuse.

Consider the reuse of online resources strategically, assessing their potential to save time or offer other efficiencies over a longer term rather than a shorter term and take account of the fact that teachers may perceive the benefits differently.

http://bit.ly/LXQx55

3

Recommendations

Funding Bodies

Continue to support the production of OER in the context of reuse and consider targeting that support towards the development of interdisciplinary resources and resources in under-represented disciplines.

Support and promote ‘open’ approaches in teaching and learning practice.

Continue to support the development of technologies to improve the discoverability of OER produced by universities.

Lobby for the easing of copyright restrictions where resources are to be used for educational purposes.

http://bit.ly/LXQx55

4

Recommendations

Further Research

Further research into the reuse, in a global context, of full courses/modules of OER produced in your country.

Further research into the optimal ways to foster teachers’ reuse of OER.

OER Development Life 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).

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

Why not Become an Open Scholar?

http://www.slideshare.net/houshuang/what-it-means-to-be-an-open-scholar-and-the-future-of-scholarly-publishing

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

Practices Qualities of Open (Learning) Content

http://bit.ly/LXQx55

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

University Strategy?

http://edtechfrontier.com/tag/connexions/

National Strategy?

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.
