4. LRMI What on earth could justify another attempt at
educational metadata?
5. METADATA
6. Open Education A new world order?
7. Teaching Experiments Teaching Machines MOOCs have been (and
continue to be) a lot of fun but it has been incredibly fast! Now
we need some slow time to mull over lessons learned as as
8. Is there a Business model for MOOCs? A Research focused
university Space to play, money is not an issue A Teaching focused
university Freemium? Re-bundling? Need to make money A New market
entrant NEETS, meeting unmet needs, who pays???
9. Open Knowledge Wikipedia and Beyond
10. Open Knowledge Wikipedia & beyond Brian and Simon with
three other noble participants Brian explained a lot about
Wikipedia Simon focused on questions of culture/governance
lWikipedia: five pillars - the fourth in particular Wide and
free-ranging discussion covering the interests of the participants
fired my enthusiasm for the whole thing
11. Open Knowledge conclusions Wikipedia has little cultural
coherence ldanger of shock on editor entry needs remedy! Gentle
enculturation? ldisassociate from negative cultures, tech, language
lbring in new culture, groups of people together lmake all editing
processes more transparent Bring e-learning community into
Wikipedia lupdate and maintain key articles; learn from process
laddress the inevitable tensions; build our culture Outcomes
12. Web services or cloud, open source or outsourced?
13. Web Services or Cloud, Open Source or Outsourced?
Whatever.
14. eBooks The learning platform of the future?
15. Requirements on e-textbooks What does an e-texbook need to
do over and above an ebook? Characteristics Online testing Offline
testing 'unlimited' questions Reporting of results Discussion
(class / world) Media Citations / quotes Gesture / interaction
Highlighting text, asking for clarification Creation Making your
own Creating a textbook as a learning experience / growing book
Consumption Getting your own book published Convenient
(distribution, transport) (Accessible/Individualisation) Curation
Cheaper Longevity / Interoperability Integral / standalone Backward
compatibility with EPUB2
16. Open Education From open practice to open policy
17. Many people, Many practices, One community.
18. People sustain open education not policy or practice.
Practice is more powerful than policy but policy legitimises the
practice. Policy can be burdensome. Unresolved issues about
ownership, licensing and formats. Gap between policy and practice.
Building capacity and developing staff is critical.
19. Building an accessible digital institution
20. Building an Accessible Digital Institution Facilitated by
Brian Kelly with 5 participants Reflections: We need to build an
digital environment which caters for the needs of people with
disabilities WAI WCAG standard has high profile but is flawed
Policy statement too vague (aspire to WCAG) or dont reflect
reality: All resources are WCAG conformant PDFs in IRs / lecture
capture WC AG inappropriate in learning (e.g. all content must be
understandable) BS 8878 provides a pragmatic achievable policy /
process based standard 22
21. Building an Accessible Digital Institution Challenges Do
people care enough to take actions / prioritise work in this area?
Is the WCAG policy statement deemed sufficient? Political Context
Changes (drastic cuts) to DSA provides a political context to
further work in this area Next Steps Cetis / Techdis work to
provide leadership role for sector Encouragement to explore use if
BS 8878 across sector (see 88 seconds video) Highlight political
context (petition coming shortly) 23
