Open Educational Resources (OER) is a catch-all phrase that includes some open

textbooks, some Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and some online learning.

But some open textbooks, some MOOCs

and some online learning are not OER. Learn the similarities,

the differences, and how to choose what your

students need.

OER “Killing” (concerns) Academic Freedom•Pressure from legislature

•Pressure from administration•Forced to use cr*% instead of “real” texts•Forced to learn to teach differently

Page 12: MOOCs, OER, Online Learning... Aren’t They All the Same? Barbara Illowsky, Ph.D. De Anza College & California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office illowskybarbara@fhda.edu.

OER Enhancing Academic Freedom

• provides faculty with more choices for their courses• allows for permission-free

editing and adaptation• promotes customization• eliminates forced revisions

Here a MOOC, there a MOOC …

MOOC Concerns• Poor instruction quality (why assume

this???)• Low Completion rates: 5-15% is typical

• Learner support is minimal• Assessment for credit: costs $; in early

stages• Sustainability is unknown

Page 15: MOOCs, OER, Online Learning... Aren’t They All the Same? Barbara Illowsky, Ph.D. De Anza College & California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office illowskybarbara@fhda.edu.

Community College MOOCs for non-

credit??• Hundreds of thousands of students taking

basic skills & pre-transfer level English, reading, writing, ESL and mathematics courses

• Huge subset of above population, at one time, had learned the content using taxpayer $$

• Many just need to review before taking an assessment test for placement

Page 16: MOOCs, OER, Online Learning... Aren’t They All the Same? Barbara Illowsky, Ph.D. De Anza College & California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office illowskybarbara@fhda.edu.

What if …• community college faculty develop and teach

pre-transfer level MOOCs • a large subset of the “huge subset” take

MOOCs to review content?• a VERY small subset of the “large subset of the

huge subset” complete 1 MOOC and place into 1 higher level course in just 1discipline?

Page 17: MOOCs, OER, Online Learning... Aren’t They All the Same? Barbara Illowsky, Ph.D. De Anza College & California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office illowskybarbara@fhda.edu.

Very small subset of the large subset of the huge

subset…• will save at least one semester to degree

completion• will save taxpayers $$• may be encouraged to take more ownership in

their education• may take more than 1 MOOC and multiply

their time savings and taxpayer savings

Page 19: MOOCs, OER, Online Learning... Aren’t They All the Same? Barbara Illowsky, Ph.D. De Anza College & California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office illowskybarbara@fhda.edu.

In other words …

• if 100,000 students take at least 1 MOOC

• if just 6% of MOOC folks complete their course

• if this 6% of MOOC folks place into 1 course higher

• then, 94% of MOOC students are FAILURES!!!

BUT …

… 6000 students have succeeded!!!!!

… but hoping for …
