Open education and open educational resources movement as a recent trend in higher education focuses on providing free access to a
wide range of educational resources and online courses. However, such a narrow approach fails to acknowledge the transformative and
innovative opportunities openness can offer in higher education. The authors of the paper take a wider perspective to the concept of
openness in formal higher education. In addition to open technology, content and knowledge sharing openness in course design is an
important dimension to consider. Although open online course design solves many educational problems and challenges, at the same
time it also creates new ones. This paper discusses about the re-occurring course design challenges that facilitators face while designing
and running open courses. Through a multiple case study a variety of design responses to the design challenges is analyzed and
demonstrated.
Keywords: open online course model, open educational resources, pedagogical design, multiple
case study
1 Introduction
The concept of openness has multiple interpretations and dimensions in the context of higher education. Among
others, it has been used by proponents of open classroom approach in 1970-ties and by distance education
enthusiasts while establishing open universities”. The purpose was to solve a number of educational problems
and challenges, for instance, to improve access to existing study programmes and attract more (or better)
students following Huijser, Bedford, and Bull’s (2008) claim that everyone has the right to education. In
general, openness in education is attributed to a barrier-free access to education in terms of time, affordability
and admission requirements being freely available through the Internet.
A recent trend is the open educational resources (OER) movement (Atkins, Brown & Hammond, 2007), which
provides free access to a wide range of educational resources and online courses. OER and its importance has
been widely documented and demonstrated (Downes, 2007). The key tenet of open education is that “education
can be improved by making educational assets visible and accessible and by harnessing the collective wisdom
of a community of practice and reflection” (p. 2) (Iiyoshi & Kumar, 2008).
The notion of openness in education is clearly triggered by the opportunities technological development offers.
In addition to growing access to Internet, the latest evolution of digital technology and Web has fostered a new
culture of creating and sharing open content in online communities. It has been possible due to the blurred line
between producers and consumers of content allowing shifted attention from access to information toward
access to other people (Iiyoshi & Kumar, 2008). In the light of ongoing technological development, there are
educators who are exploring ways to expand the notion of openness in education beyond public sharing of
educational content. Iiyoshi & Kumar (2008) point out that with the concept of openness we might tend to grow
our collections of educational tools and resources and miss the transformative and innovative opportunities
“openness” can offer. One of the emerging practices in this direction is the open online course model.

24. Õpileping…
... defineerib kuidas ja mida õpitakse ning kuidas õpitut
hinnatakse;
... on täielikult õppija kontrollida ja vastutada, tuutori roll vaid
abistav ja suunav;
... põhineb õpivestlusel (ingl conversational learning
procedure) ning arusaamal, et õppija on ainus, kes oskab
öelda, kas ja kuidas tema arusaamad, mõtted, teadmised,
oskused, tunded on õpiprotsessi käigus muutunud;
25. Õpileping...
... eeldab süstemaatilisust s.t. pidev reflekteerimine oma õpiprotsessi üle
ning paralleelide tõmbamine koostatud lepingu ja tegelikkuse vahel;
... on vajalik, et mõista täiskasvanud õppija vajadusi, eelistusi, õpiprojekti
eesmärke ja selle dünaamikat; tema nägemust õpiprotsessist ja keskkonna
ülesehitusest;
... aitab õppijat dokumenteerida ja analüüsida oma väljakutseid,
dilemmasid, probleeme, ebakindlust, kuid ka saavutusi ja edusamme;
... aitab tuvastada, mis suunas edasi liikuda ja areneda ning formuleerida
järgmine õpiprojekt.
26. Õpilepingu struktuur
• Teema — Mida ma soovin õppida? Mis valdkond?
• Eesmärgid — Mis on minu õpiprojekti eesmärgid? Miks ma tahan just seda teemat õppida? Mis sunnib mind
seda õppima?
• Strateegiad — Kuidas ma kavatsen oma eesmärgid saavutada? Missugused tegevused ma pean läbi viima ja
mis järjekorras?
• Vahendid/ressursid — Missuguseid vahendeid ma kasutan eesmärkide saavutamiseks (inimesed, materjalid,
tehnoloogia)? Kuidas ma neile ligi pääsen?
• Hindamine — Kuidas ma tean, et ma olen oma eesmärgid saavutanud? Kuidas ma hindan oma saavutusi? Mis
tõestab seda?
- - - - -
• Reflektsioon — Mis minu jaoks töötas ja mis mitte? Miks? Mis on need aspektid, mille kallal pean veel vaeva
nägema? Mis on minu tugevad ja nõrgad küljed? Mida ma peaksin järgmisena tegema?

Design and evaluation of an online tool for open learning
with blogs

Blogs are used in higher education to support face-to-face courses, to organise online
courses, and to open up courses for a wider group of participants. However the open and
distributed nature of blogs creates problems that are not common in other learning contexts.
Four key challenges related to the use of blogs in learning were identified from earlier
research: fragmented discussions, a lack of coordination structures, weak support for
awareness, and a danger of over-scripting. The EduFeedr system has been designed to
address these issues. In this paper, the authors present their evaluation of its design and
effectiveness in a total of 10 courses. The results indicate that learners find the EduFeedr
system useful in following discussions and in comparing their progress with other learners.
The coordination and awareness issues are seen as more important than the fragmentation
of discussions and a danger of over-scripting.
Introduction
Blogs are used in higher education to provide a space for reflection, a forum for discussions, a portfolio of
completed assignments, and for opening up courses for a wider group of participants. While some recent
research has focused on the pedagogical aspects of using blogs in higher education, Sim and Hew (2010)
suggest that one focus of future research should be the development of web technologies that will
enhance the conversational and interactive aspects of blogging. Our study focuses on designing and
evaluating an online tool that aims to address some of the issues that impede the use of blogs in online
and blended learning courses.
A blog is a website where the content is comprised of posts that are displayed in reverse chronological
order. A typical blog is a personal website that is written by a single person; however it is also possible to
have several authors. Readers can become engaged by writing comments on blog posts. Syndication
technologies such as really simple syndication (RSS) and Atom enable readers to receive new posts and
comments automatically. All blogs and their interconnections are often referred to as the blogosphere.
The blogosphere can be seen both as a social network and as an ecosystem.
The possibilities for using blogs in learning became evident soon after blogs emerged (Oravec, 2003;
Williams & Jacobs, 2004). Sim and Hew (2010) identified six major applications for blogs in education:
(a) maintaining a learning journal, (b) recording personal life, (c) expressing emotions, (d)
communicating with others, (e) assessment, and (f) managing tasks.
Kim (2008) suggests that the use of blogs may help to overcome various limitations of other computer-
mediated communication systems, such as difficulties in managing communication, passiveness of
students, lack of ownership, instructor-centeredness, and limited archives of communication. Previous
studies show that reading other blogs and receiving feedback on one’s own blog posts were the more
effective aspects of using blogs in learning (Churchill, 2009; Ellison & Wu, 2008). Blogs are useful in
disciplines that require students to discuss, write, reflect, and make comments about content or ideas
(Cakir, 2013). Blogging has been found particularly beneficial in teacher education because it can
motivate learners, foster collaboration and cooperation, promote different instructional practices, and
enrich the learning environment (Goktas & Demirel, 2012). Teachers who acquire these competences
during the blogging assignments can later apply these methods in their own teaching.

106. Pattern 14: Open enrollment
This pattern deals with enrollment in the courses. It
is related to the possibility of BEING OPEN FOR LURKING
(13).
Blog-based open learning environments require a central
coordination platform for managing enrollment to the
course. In a simple case, people interested in
participating the course could add their blog addresses to
a wiki page. However, this requires a lot of manual work
for subscribing to participant blogs. In many cases blog-
based open online courses are run as extensions of formal
higher education courses. It is possible, that too large
number of informal participants would make it difficult to
follow and support learners. It is important to find
balance between massive openness and a functional learning
community.
Therefore: Coordination platforms for blog-based open
online courses should enable open enrollment. The
facilitator of the course should be able to specify how
long the course is open for enrollments. In a more
advanced case, the coordination platform might also
distinguish between different types of enrollments (formal
participants, informal participants).
Open enrollment is related to two smaller patterns:
learners should be able to use NICKNAMES (15) and the list
of enrolled participants should be able to be copied as a
BLOGROLL (18). This pattern addresses the lack of
coordination structures for managing blog-based courses
(C15).
