The Internet is a BIGnetwork…

[Here is] a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:

1. Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

2. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.

3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

- Douglas Adams. The Salmon of Doubt. 2002.

What are Open Educational Resources?

Michael Reschke cba

OER are digitized materials offered freely and openly for educators, students, self-learners, and anyone else to use and reuse for teaching, learning, and research.

What is different about OER?

Most digital media = “stuff you can see online for free”

fair-use and educational exceptions

OER = “stuff you can adapt and then share for others to build on”

Open education supports equal educational opportunity,

regardless of region, income,

or level of technology.

OER can be easily modified, translated, and shared,so they encourage local production of educational resources

suited to both individual and societal values, language and culture.

OER can be easily modified and adapted to

different learning circumstances.

Advanced technology is not necessary.

A child educated only at school is an uneducated child.

- George Santayana

Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the

form of inert facts.- Henry B. Adams

What do we really want students to learn?

• How big is the moon?• How do we know how big the moon is?• What are the ways of measuring the size of

space objects like the moon? Why do the measurements vary? Why would we trust one versus the other?

• Why is the size of the moon, or any other space object, of potential interest? To whom?

The researchers of tomorrow will need to know…

• how to find the information they want.


• how to sort that information according to its quality, relevance, and a multitude of other variables.


• how to work effectively with other people, from a diversity of backgrounds, cultures, and areas of expertise, both face to face and virtually.


• how to apply critical thinking and metacognitive skills to their work to improve both the process and the outcomes.


• how to identify, leverage, and improve upon existing tools and applications to meet specific needs – customizing without isolating.


• how to create new opportunities – financial, social, and otherwise – without preventing people from accessing and innovating on the information.
