What is Open Education?

Why should Education be Open?

Open Education

• open accessible (no restrictions to entry); • open in pace (no restricted course period); • open in place (no need to be somewhere in person); • open in time (no fixed start date); • open in program (choice for individual courses); • open available (free); • open to reuse (repurpose, mix, edit, distribute).

5R’s of Openness

• Retain – the right to make, own, and control copies of the content

• Reuse – the right to use the content in a wide range of ways (e.g., in a class, in a study group,

on a website, in a video)

• Revise – the right to adapt, adjust, modify, or alter the content itself (e.g., translate the content

into another language)

• Remix – the right to combine the original or revised content with other open content to create

something new (e.g., incorporate the content into a mashup)

• Redistribute – the right to share copies of the original content, your revisions, or your remixes with

others (e.g., give a copy of the content to a friend)

Education is about Sharing

Instructor shares with Student v.v.

OER versus MOOC

OER Lifecycle

http://www.eurodl.org/?p=current&article=419

Prepare

• Module Specifications Sheet – Outline, Duration, Learning Outcomes, Assessment

Criteria, Learning Units Description.

• Context of Use – mainstream educational system, short professional

development courses, both.

• Identify type of Open Licensing to be used • Selection of the approaches to learning

– pedagogical strategy + instructional techniques

Approaches to learning

http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/publications/effectivepracticedigitalage.pdf

Learning activity design

http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/publications/effectivepracticedigitalage.pdf

Search and Classify

• Identify repositories to be used – e.g. Openlearn, Connexions, MIT, OERCommons,

WikiEducator or Wikipedia etc. • Look for related content

– browse metadata, check licence type, check content quality, level, format, pedagogical approach, duration etc.

• Build a checklist of available content – classify according to one's requirements.

• Identify what is missing and what needs to be added, developed from scratch and/or adapted/ repurposed/ recontextualized.

(re)Purpose

• Decontextualize highly adapted learning content. • Rewrite material that is not contextually correct • Create new materials to cater for those that are

missing • Mix materials from different sources. • Add context-related learning activities that meet

the pedagogical approach selected.

Value addition

• Add new learning/pedagogical scenarios that improve the learning experience of learners.

• Provide multiple modalities (such as animations and multimedia) for learning to suit individual preferences of learners (such as learning/cognitive styles).

• Provide multiple access/delivery modes to increase accessibility to learners with different constraints such as internet connection, limited bandwidth etc.

Publish and Deliver

• Publish online. • Deliver the course to target audience. • Monitor the learner progress and achievements

and provide tutoring/technical support. • Share in the different OER repositories or simply

put the content available on your local website and let others know about it.

Review

• Gather feedback from learners on the course. • Review content to improve the course for

subsequent cohorts. • Restart the cycle if there are changing

requirements and/or to keep up-to-date with ongoing developments.

Important!!

• Approach to learning • Copyright / licenses • Accessibility • Quality control

https://flic.kr/p/k7EHk

Example Accessibility

• Descriptions provide alternative, text-based representations of the information contained in tables, diagrams, images, and other objects. This information is useful for people with vision or cognitive impairments who may not be able to see or understand the object.

• Example: This is a colour photo of a female dancer rehearsing Negro Spirituals. The studio floor is grey and the wall is made of bricks painted white. She is leaning forward on her left leg which is bent while her right leg stretches at the back with only her toes touching the floor. Her right arm is stretched forward and she is pointing with her index finger towards her front. She is looking in that direction. She is barefoot and is wearing a long black skirt and a black leotard. She has short black hair. On her head she is wearing a colourful handkerchief as a hairband. The image shows her from her right side.
