Editor's Notes
- -Cathy intro -I ’ ll give OER overview and evolution -briefly mention some of the “ big issue ” areas -talk about how CC fits into this -my overview will segue into our topical presentations by David Wiley, Cable Green, and Candace Thille
- -digital explosion, technological explosion -everyone ’ s a producer as well as consumer of content -the web allows teachers, students, self learners to share easily and cheaply -smart hacks make this legal (CC) -we need to empower teachers, students, self learners to leverage content to better education -enter OER -David Wiley talks about the 4 Rs of OER -freedom to Reuse, Redistribute, Revise, Remix
- -OER not a new concept, but relatively young -has roots from various places: free software movement, distance learning, access to knowledge, etc. -but most recently...
- -David Wiley coins the term “ open content ” -obvious analogy to open source software, but for content: text, audio, video, etc.
- -Rich Baraniuk at Rice University -platform for sharing primarily k-12 open learning materials
- -Wikipedia, probably largest OER project -has exploded since 2001 -now 17 million articles across all languages -now 8.5 million media files in Wikimedia Commons database
- -explain why Hewlett got into funding OER -scale and scope of Hewlett involvement
- -ingenious idea by lessig and others to “ prevent failed sharing ” -initial licenses released in 2002 -CC is the global standard for OER project
- -Chuck Vest ’ s grand challenge -audacious idea: “ let ’ s give it away for free online ” -faculty vote -now content from all MIT courses shared under open license online
- -Carnegie Mellons’ Open Learning Initiative -rigorous about data feedback in support of continuous student improvement and achievement
- -important international signaling in support of OER -continuing today
- -TESSA: teacher education in sub-saharan Africa -consortium of 18 national and international creating and using OER in sub-saharan Africa
- -crucial public comment and challenge to governments and institutions around the globe to support OER -invites active participation in OER movement by educators and learners -calls on educators, authors, publishers, institutions to release openly -encourages governments, school boards, universities to make OER a priority in policy decisions
- -open courseware consortium incorporated in 2008 -global community of over 250 universities and orgs building and supporting the OCW movement
- -Flat World Knowledge, commercial open textbook publisher -offering students value by providing online texts for free under CC -offers customizability and remix -offers affordable print on demand, important for students who like physical textbook
- -first public online high school using OER as teaching materials -now 250 9th and 10th grade students -entire curriculum released online as OER
- -Dept of Labor/Dept of Education grant program -Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training grants -biggest federal investment in OER to date
- -there are a lot of interesting issues that the OER community is grappling with -I ’ ll just briefly mention a few here, because they ’ ll be talked about more later by others -SEARCH & DISCOVERY: there’s no longer a shortage of great OER content, but we need to be able to find it, and find materials appropriate for my students -LAW & POLICY: teachers/students need to know which resources they can use and share legally, beyond the important application of Fair Use -QUALITY: we need to demonstrate that quality is as good as or better per unit cost than traditional educational materials -REMIX & REUSE: we need to promote collaboration and cooperation, let’s not reinvent the wheel 1000 times over -ASSESSMENT/STANDARDS/DATA: we need to gather data and analyze it: how effective are OER? Build the case! -PEDAGOGY/INCENTIVES/PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: how do we make creating and using OER easy for teachers, integrate with proper incentives and PD opportunities
- -the OER community is powered by Creative Commons -CC helps address some of the challenges above -our legal and technology tools make OER sharing legal, easy, and scalable -our free copyright licenses are probably what you ’ re most familiar with
- -CC information is communicated via an innovative 3-layer license design
- -first, there ’s a human readable deed that simplifies the terms of each license into a few universal icons and non-technical language
- -second, there ’s the lawyer-readable legal text, which has been vetted by a global team of legal experts
- -third, there ’s a machine-readable code that enables search and discovery via search engines like Google
- -there ’ s various roles for CC to play in aligned with it ’ s focus on legal, technology, policy -the first is to educate various groups about how to use CC, especially educators and students -generally boost adoption and communicate the benefits of applying CC
- -constantly improving our licenses and tools -making it easy to understand and use -providing educational materials about best practices wrt licensing, and listening and empowering the community to build these too
- -continue to promote innovate businesses to incorporate CC licensing in support of OER
- -we need Apple to do it too! -iTunesU has been an amazing platform for educators -20M downloads of Open University courses -CC was spotted in an Apple ad, but it was because Oxford added the CC logo as a hack -what we need is CC licensing engine built-in at the iTunesU distribution system from the get go!
- -Foundations are using CC in support of OER -Mentioned the DOL grant program before -requiring that all materials built using grant funds be released under CC BY -Washington State Board for Community & Technical Colleges -all grant funds that funnel through SBCTC must have CC BY license attached -new innovative models at the local level -Open High School of Utah -using CC BY
- -future; the movement is 10+ years old now -there are lots of possibilities where open education will go -some places we’ll go are unexpected -OER is being “ mainstreamed ” -let ’ s work together to make sure this movement continues and succeeds -hope this overview has been helpful; look forward to hearing from others about the specific topic areas
