Sharing is good.Freely and openly sharing high quality
educational materials supports formal and informal education, broadens access to
knowledge and allows for significant innovation in education
![Page 8: What, Who, Why of OCW (and how Libraries can lead)](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110318/55d4de44bb61eb0e2a8b462a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is the Open Education movement?Basic beliefs:
• Education = sharing knowledge• Openly sharing and using shared materials
benefits all• Sharing high quality educational materials
facilitates improvements in teaching and learning
![Page 9: What, Who, Why of OCW (and how Libraries can lead)](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110318/55d4de44bb61eb0e2a8b462a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What are Open Educational Resources?
• Shared educational materials• Openly licensed for distribution, re-use and
modification • Available to anyone via the internet (and
often other means)
![Page 10: What, Who, Why of OCW (and how Libraries can lead)](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110318/55d4de44bb61eb0e2a8b462a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is OpenCourseWare?
• High quality educational materials organized as courses
A course is package of educational materials starting a particular point in the knowledge spectrum, designed to lead to greater understanding of the issue or topic
• Openly licensed for distribution, re-use and modification, available to all on the internet

Who’s involved in open education? People
Walter Lewin, Professor Emeritus, MIT
“I get about 30 e-mails every day about my videos. And I answer each and every one of them. People are so excited to learn physics. Sharing these materials is the best thing I ever did in my whole teaching career.”

Why?
![Page 22: What, Who, Why of OCW (and how Libraries can lead)](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110318/55d4de44bb61eb0e2a8b462a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Why? Philosophical
• Expanding access to education & knowledge• Building on others’ ideas• Creating possibilities for new educational
systems• Maximizing educational dollars
![Page 23: What, Who, Why of OCW (and how Libraries can lead)](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110318/55d4de44bb61eb0e2a8b462a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why? Institutional benefits
• Showcasing existing courses and educational quality
transparency = respect & trust
good public relations
![Page 24: What, Who, Why of OCW (and how Libraries can lead)](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110318/55d4de44bb61eb0e2a8b462a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Why? Institutional benefits
• Strengthen teaching and learning outcomes– Provide examples of excellence for faculty and
students– Professional development– Supports student learning– Can lead to partnerships, collaborations,
recognition
![Page 25: What, Who, Why of OCW (and how Libraries can lead)](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110318/55d4de44bb61eb0e2a8b462a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Why? Outreach benefits• Bridge between secondary and higher
education– Skill and knowledge courses available to prepare
students for higher education– Assist disadvantaged learners and those returning
to education– Insure good fit between student and institution
![Page 26: What, Who, Why of OCW (and how Libraries can lead)](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110318/55d4de44bb61eb0e2a8b462a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Why? Outreach benefits• Workforce development
– Updating skills– Retraining sectors that are downsizing or
becoming dated– Pathways to short courses or certificates
US Department of Labor $2,000,000,000 TAA grant specifically to support creation of job retraining OER
![Page 27: What, Who, Why of OCW (and how Libraries can lead)](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110318/55d4de44bb61eb0e2a8b462a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Why? Innovation
• Current global higher ed system can’t reach everyone who wants an education.
• Cost and access barriers to current system.• Systems don’t serve everyone equally well.
UNESCO's 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.)
