1 Open Educational Resources C. Sidney Burrus Dean of Engineering and member of the Connexions Project Rice University, Houston, Texas USA NCTI, November 15, 2010

2 Disruptive Technologies Disruptive technologies change the world in two phases: 1.The new technology first does what the old technology did, only better. Results are often “Intended Consequences” 2.The new technology then redefines the problem, asks new questions that were not possible in the first phase. Where surprising innovation is observed. Results often “Unintended Consequences”

3 Two Phases of the Web Web 1.0: HTML, presentation (looks and layout), hypertext links, searchable, two dimensional. Contains shared data and information. Readable by educated people (like a book). Web 2.0: XML, presentation and content, meta-data, smart hypertext links, smart searchable, three dimensional. Contains data, information, and some knowledge! Readable by literate people and by some machines.

4 Open Educational Resources The Open Educational Resource (OER) movement was inspired by the Open Source software movement. Information is freely usable, re-usable, mixable, modifiable, etc. Open Course Ware “OCW” (MIT) Connexions “Cnx” (Rice) Wikipedia (Wikibooks, etc.) Siyavula project (Shuttleworth Foundation) Curriki, CK-12, Flat World Knowledge, etc.

5 What is Connexions? 1.A repository of modules of information available on the web over the Internet Modules (and collections) encoded in XML, one concept, a few pages, a quantum of information 2.A set of tools for authoring, maintaining and using the content of the repository Module editor, importer, course or book composer, repository organizer, Creative Commons license, tools for printing books, creating pdf ’ s 3.A community of people who share educational interests and information Interest groups (authors, instructors, students)

6 Author s Module Instructors Students Course, book Ideas, information Commons or Repository

7 Books and On-Line Use with XML Books from Connexions: Personalized, on-demand printing, up-to-date, inexpensive, collaboratively authored, allows pre and post publication review, never “out of print”, “Long tail” publications, content for eBooks, one button to buy printed book On-Line use of Connexions: Allows modern pedagogy: concept-based, problem solving-based, discovery-based learning. Dynamic, interactive, linked, adapts to learning style, student and author driven, allows “assessment and evaluation”, Virtual Labs

8 Possible Ways to Use Bound and printed paper books that look like traditional books but are low cost and always up-to-date. This is phase one. Down Loadable pdf files which are free and can be used on a eBook reader or printed locally. This is also phase one. Free, interactive, dynamic on-line use on a screen such as a computer or hand-held device (iPhone or iPad). This is phase two! New methods that we cannot imagine now. This is the definition of phase two.

16 The Traditional Book The book is the central tool or technology in education at all levels and for all aspects. The book is a mature technology that is not improving. It and the supporting infrastructure are the answer to the educational questions of the 19 th century, maybe the first part of the 20 th century. They are now the “bottle neck” or “barrier”. They are no longer the answer, they are the problem

17 eXtendable Markup Language XML can also be thought of as “X” being an unknown that can be defined: mathMLx 3 + 7x 2 – 2x + 1 = 0 chemistryMLH 2 O musicML(a music score) “whatever you are teaching”ML where the rules of your subject define the markup language. The language “understands” your subject!! The XMLs use semantic “tags” and meta-data

18 Selected Partners Foothill-De Anza Community College Shuttleworth Foundation’s Siyavula proj.

19 Issues Choose technology strategically, not expediently Choose technology first for the learner, then for the parent, teacher, author, etc Develop a learning eco-system Connexions for the Americas project Remember the importance of mathematics Use the wider visual bandwidth Use student controlled assessment
