or... how to create really cool and useful educational material using openly licensed content

or... why your students, colleagues, and people around the world will thank you and, maybe, tell you that you are cool for using openly licensed content to create really cool and useful educational material This isn’t just about being cool or about the content, it’s really about the classroom.

a Cartesian view of knowledge and learning :: John Seely Brown and Richard P. Adler : “I think therefore I am” : knowledge as substance & pedagogy as knowledge transfer CC: BY-NC-SA smallestbones (flickr) Cartesian perspective assumes that knowledge is a kind of substance and that pedagogy thinks that the best way to transfer this substance is from teachers to students.

the social view of learning - learning 2.0 :: John Seely Brown and Richard P. Adler : “we participate therefore we are” : understanding is socially constructed CC: BY-NC berbercarpet (flickr) our understanding of content is socially constructed through conversations about that content and through grounded interactions around problems and actions. not “what” but “how” we learn (JSB) See: Brown, John Seely and Richard P. Adler, “Minds on Fire: Open Education, the Long Tail, and Learning 2.0” Educause Review, January/February 2008, pages

learning characteristics :: connected : students, staff, & faculty :: global audience : facebook, slideshare, YouTube :: participatory : commenting as part of assignments :: project based learning : authentic assessments and real clients :: technology as a mindset, not a skill : blogs, wikis, multimedia, social networking : collaborative virtual spaces : permanent records of work and conversations more here in Kim Cofino’s presentation - “The 21st Century Classroom”

a summary :: sharing as the norm :: learning is more about how than what :: participation and collaboration are key a proposition :: learning how to be open is essential to engaging in social learning and learning 2.0 Not just “learning about” but “learning to be” developing the practices and norms of a the practitioners in a field to acculturate ones self into a culture of practice Not just “learning about” but “learning to be” developing the practices and norms of a the practitioners in a field to acculturate ones self into a culture of practice

We help content creators maximize the return on digital resources by helping make these resources free and open for use and reuse by people worldwide. who am I? and what do I do? I help you make things open so that they can be shared, used, built upon, etc. So that you don’t have to worry about infringing and those who use your work know how they can make use of your material. who am I? and what do I do?

OER production typically involves three main policy areas :: copyright and other intellectual property :: endorsement of products or people :: privacy of students or patients reducing risk

:: copyright : U.S. law grants limited exclusive rights to authors of creative works :: endorsement : U-M has a policy restricting what representatives of our institution may endorse :: privacy : the U.S. government tends to protect patient and student privacy main policy areas

A few important distinctions

The difference between OA and OER. OA: Open Access OER: Open Educational Resources OA focuses on sharing content, but no underlying licensing requirement OER includes any educational content that is shared under an open license (nix ND) OER and OA are friends

OA // OER - buddies OA OER openly licensed educational content free, permanent, full-text, online access to scientific and scholarly works

The difference between OCW and OER. OCW: Open CourseWare OER: Open Educational Resources OCW focuses on sharing open content that is developed specifically to instruct a course (locally taught) OER includes any educational content that is shared under an open license, whether or not it is a part of a course OCW is a subset of OER

OCW // OER - overlap OER OCW syllabi, lecture notes, presentation slides, assignments, lecture videos - all related to a course OCW, single images, general campus lectures, image collections, singular learning modules, paper or article

OER and eLearning: a relationship. OER may exist in electronic or paper form may not contain enough context to be “instructional” are always licensed for reuse, redistribution, and re-mixing eLearning resources exist only in electronic form are generally designed to be instructional may not always be licensed for open use

eLearning // OER - intersection OER eLearning intersection represents open, electronic, instructional resources

let’s get to it

let’s generate OER - goals of today’s workshop :: ask the question - how can I (and others) use this content? : while searching for and generating content : while interacting with colleagues :: discover where to find openly licensed content : open content repositories : your colleagues & students :: create resources using openly licensed content : the life cycle of OER generation : techniques for annotating content :: learn where you can share your resources : via open.michigan and beyond
