Open online courses and massively untold storiesLeigh Blackall
This paper accounts for a small range of open online courses that helped to inform the early development of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It laments the loss of meaning in the word open and its historic alignment to free and open source principles. It calls for more academic work to better represent the histories and range of critical perspectives on open online courses, and outlines how Wikipedia can be used as a central organising platform for such work.

This document discusses the potential conflict between open and closed learning spaces. It considers whether closed spaces can facilitate openness in education. The document notes limitations of completely open learning environments like MOOCs, such as a lack of structure, peer support, or privacy. However, closed spaces within open environments could provide safe areas for specialized interest groups or language support. MOOC providers could facilitate third-party support services through study skills webinars, local study groups, or for-credit course spin-offs to scaffold open learning.
This document discusses using technology tools like blogs, wikis, and interactive websites to support literacy skills and content area teaching. It provides examples of how teachers can use blogs for class materials, assignments, and student reflections. Wikis are explained as collaborative websites that allow easy editing.

This Webinar Explores National Forum’s Open Licensing Toolkit as Latest Resource for HE Sector
https://www.teachingandlearning.ie/publication/the-national-forum-open-licensing-toolkit/
Higher education staff and students are guided on how they find and use OER as well as create and share their work as OER using the Forum’s just published higher education resource the National Forum Open Licensing Toolkit– (itself an OER).
Guest speaker Jennryn Wetzler, Assistant Director of Open Education at Creative Commons, brings a wealth of experience and will describe how the use of open licenses and OER can be used to enhance teaching and learning.
This webinar is facilitated by Dr. Catherine Cronin, Strategic Education Developer, National Forum, who also focuses on how the National Forum is supporting the use of open licensing and OER, particularly for current Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund projects.
This webinar supports the Forum’s current strategy to promote agile, responsive approaches to teaching and learning in an open digital world and to provide targeted support for those who guide and support the use of technology in teaching and learning.
The Battle for Open & the open landscapeMartin Weller
This document discusses the open education landscape and various elements within it including open access, open educational resources (OER), massive open online courses (MOOCs), open educational practice, and open data. It addresses tensions between formal and experimental approaches as well as stable and fragile aspects. While there are common elements and open approaches are enabled by networks, there are also debates around commercial vs state approaches and online vs face-to-face learning. The document argues these can create false dichotomies and that evolution in open education will likely be gradual with occasional disruptive periods, affecting institutions and practitioners in different ways.
This document summarizes a presentation on opening educational practices in Scotland. It discusses open educational resources (OER) and open licensing. It defines OERs as educational materials that can be legally copied, used, adapted and shared. The "5Rs" framework for open licensing allows users to retain, reuse, revise, remix and redistribute open content. The presentation addresses benefits of OER including cost savings for students and allowing educators more flexibility. It also discusses challenges to adopting open practices and strategies for facilitating adoption, including sharing practices between institutions.
The document discusses using Hypothesis as a tool for open pedagogy and public annotation of educational resources. It notes that open educational resources (OER) provide more affordable and flexible alternatives to traditional textbooks. Open pedagogy asks students to contribute to knowledge rather than just consume information. Hypothesis allows for public annotation that makes the reading process active and networked, allowing students to engage as scholars and use the web as a collaborative workshop.
Similarity of inference face matching on angle orientedAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a research paper on angle oriented face recognition using discrete cosine transforms (DCT).
[1] It proposes an algorithm that first normalizes input faces for size and angle to match a database, then extracts local features using DCT and normalization techniques.
[2] DCT is discussed as it closely approximates the optimal Karhunen-Loeve transform while being computationally efficient. Similarity matching is done using Euclidean distance or cosine similarity measures.
[3] The basic algorithm involves face normalization, DCT feature extraction, and recognition by comparing features to the database. Experimental results showed the proposed approach led to more reliable detection than threshold-based methods.
The document discusses different perspectives on pleasure and how it relates to happiness in life's journey. It notes that while some see pleasure as a brief pause or stop in life's struggles, others experience constant happiness irrespective of situations. The underlying principle of the Bhagavad Gita provides that one can experience pleasure through karma yoga by performing duties with love, dedication and enjoyment, and accepting outcomes with equanimity. A story is told of three people engaged in the same task but with different mindsets - the first in pain, the second toggling between pain and pleasure, and the third experiencing joy by seeing their duty as serving God.
This document discusses the challenges of raising children in a consumerist society dominated by marketing. It notes how marketing targets both parents and children from a young age to encourage constant consumption. As a result, children often grow up viewing themselves as consumers first. The report explores family life in Europe today and voices concerns from European families about issues like media influence, commercialization, and lack of sustainability education for children. It then provides visions for creating a more sustainable childhood, such as teaching sustainability in schools, restricting child-targeted advertising, and transforming urban environments to be more child-friendly and connected to nature.

La canción "Imagine" de John Lennon imagina un mundo sin religiones, países, posesiones o divisiones donde toda la gente viva en paz y comparta el mundo. Lennon canta sobre un mundo ideal sin cielo o infierno, sin matar o morir, y donde toda la gente viva el presente como hermanos. Aunque algunos puedan verlo como un soñador, Lennon espera que algún día otros se unan a su visión de un mundo unido.
The document summarizes and provides feedback on the proposed recast of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). It notes that the recast addresses many shortcomings of the original directive but that it could still be strengthened in several key areas. These include setting clearer timeframes and targets for low-energy buildings, introducing minimum performance requirements for building components, and establishing robust monitoring and enforcement mechanisms to ensure compliance and verify energy savings. Overall it recommends that the recast directive be adopted in 2009 to maintain policy momentum on improving energy efficiency in Europe's building stock.
This document outlines the final project assignment for the Creative Thinking Skills course. The project involves rebranding a daily object in two parts:
Part A is individual work where students must come up with a new name, logo, tagline, and packaging design for an assigned daily object. They must document their creative process in an A4 report.
Part B is group work where students further develop the best rebranding proposal from Part A. As a group they must create an advertisement video, poster, and do a product presentation demonstrating how to use and promote the object. The project aims to develop students' critical and creative thinking skills through practical marketing and branding exercises.
The document discusses different aspects of learning and human psychology including types of intelligence, personality structures, ego states, and stages of morality. It notes that comprehension is not the same as learning, which involves moving information from short-term to long-term memory. It also discusses different learning styles like visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic approaches.

The document discusses how new technologies and Web 2.0 practices can enable new approaches to teaching and learning. It introduces Cloudworks, a social networking site that aims to harness these technologies and practices to facilitate sharing of teaching ideas, resources, and questions. Cloudworks allows users to create "clouds" of information on various topics and comment on and follow others' clouds. The goal is to help educators make more innovative use of technologies and create better learning experiences, through resources on the site and opportunities for collaboration. An ongoing evaluation aims to enhance understanding of the approach's effectiveness and guide future developments.
OER refers to open educational resources which include full courses, course materials, and other learning content that can be freely accessed and used online. MIT's OpenCourseWare initiative is an example of an institutional OER program that makes course materials from over 1,900 courses freely available on the web. Educators use OER in a variety of ways like reusing content, adapting course syllabi, and combining OER materials with other resources. There are benefits to creating OER like lowering costs for students and fostering pedagogical innovation through customizable learning materials.

Let's start with teacher autonomy: Multiliteracies and Lifelong LearningVance Stevens
1) The document discusses the need for teachers to model autonomous learning for their students through their own professional development and learning practices.
2) It advocates for connectionist and constructivist models of learning using social networking tools, rather than traditional expert systems or algorithms.
3) For teachers to effectively teach autonomous learning, they must practice it themselves through blogging, participating in online communities, and reflecting on their practices.
The document discusses the history and evolution of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). It describes how CALL began in the 1950s-1960s with early computers being used for language learning activities. The first CALL programs were developed in the 1960s at Stanford University, Dartmouth University, and University of Essex. CALL has evolved from behavioral CALL to integrative CALL to communicative CALL.
