the oer 101 workshop (round 2)
DESCRIPTION
The presentation slides to a 2-day workshop on Open Educational Resources (OER) conducted at USM from 27-28 June, 2012. It explores how we can find, reuse, remix, create and share OER. It provides a lot of excellent resources and tips.

“Nearly one-third of the world’s population (29.3%) is under 15. Today there are 158 million people enrolled in
tertiary education. Projections suggest that that participation will peak at 263 million in 2025.
Accommodating the additional 105 million
students would require more than four major universities (30,000 students) to open every week for
the next fifteen years. “
- Sir John Daniel

build four major universities (30,000 students) to open every
week for the next fifteen years?”

Open CourseWare (OCW)
“OpenCourseWare, or OCW, is a term applied to course materials created by universities and shared freely with the
world via the internet.”
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCourseWare
The movement started in 1999 when the University of Tübingen in Germany published videos of lectures online.
The OCW movement only took off, however, with the launch of MIT OpenCourseWare at MIT in October 2002.

Video About MIT OCW (2007)
http://youtu.be/tbQ-FeoEvTI
What is MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW)?
MIT OpenCourseWare is a free publication of MIT course materials that reflects almost all the undergraduate and graduate subjects taught at MIT.
IMPORTANTLY
OCW is NOT an MIT education.
OCW DOES NOT grant degrees or certificates.
OCW DOES NOT provide access to MIT faculty.
Materials MAY NOT reflect entire content of the course.
Source: http://ocw.mit.edu/about/
MIT OCW Stats 2000+ courses published.
133 million visits by 95 million visitors.
1 million visits each month.
Translations receive 500,000 more.
Source (accessed 19/04/2012): http://ocw.mit.edu/about/site-statistics/
MIT OCW Audience
MIT OCW audience is divided among:

MIT OCW Uses
MIT OpenCourseWare is being used for a wide range of purposes.
Source (accessed 19/04/2012): http://ocw.mit.edu/about/site-statistics/
80% rate OCW's impact as extremely positive or positive.
91% expect that level of future impact.
96% of educators say the site has/will help improve courses.
96% of visitors would recommend the site.
MIT OCW Development
An average of 100 hours effort to produce one course.
MIT faculty devote 5-10 hours for each course.
12 publication staff work directly with the faculty.
2 intellectual property staff.
4 production staff support the publication team.
5 outreach and administrative staff manage communications, media relations, outreach, program evaluation, and OCW's sustainability.
http://ocw.mit.edu/donate/why-donate/
MIT OCW Cost
The total annual cost is about $3.5 million.
Cost per Non-video-based course: $10,000–$15,000
Cost per Video-based course: $30,000
For each course MIT OCW publish, they must: Compile course materials from faculty;
Ensure proper licensing for open sharing;
Format materials for global distribution;
Sustain technical infrastructure (software/hardware network); and
Provide and support local mirror sites in bandwidth constrained regions.
Article: http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/IR/id/1021 MIT site: http://ocw.mit.edu/donate/why-donate/
Revenue Cost
http://ocw.mit.edu/donate/why-donate/
Projected that OCW reserves will run out in FY2014 without significant changes in their current funding model.
Challenge is to offset the loss of grant funds with substantial increases in revenues such as: Donations
Endowments
Corporate sponsorships, and;
Alternative sources of revenue.

EdX: The Future of Online Education is Now
“MIT & Harvard edX's goal is to educate one billion people around the world…Planet scale access from one shared platform!”
http://youtu.be/SA6ELdIRkRU
MIT + Harvard = edX
http://www.edxonline.org/
MIT and Harvard have invested
$60 million ($30 million each)
to launch the collaboration.
Anant Agarwal President, edX
What is edX?
An organization established by MIT and Harvard that will develop an open-source technology platform to deliver online courses.
EdX is based on MITx, a technological platform from MIT designed that offers online versions of their courses.
MITx course sample: https://6002x.mitx.mit.edu/
edX Features Include…
Self-paced learning
Video lessons
Embedded testing
Real-time feedback
Online discussion groups
Student-ranked questions and answers
Collaborative web-based laboratories
http://www.edxonline.org/faqs.html
The platform will also serve as a laboratory from which data will be gathered to better understand how students learn. Because it is open source, the platform will be continuously improved.
WHY Are They Doing This?
To improve education on campus and around the world: On Campus
edX research will enhance our understanding of how students learn and how technologies can best be used as part of our larger efforts to improve teaching and learning.
Beyond edX will expand access to education, allow for certificates of mastery to be earned by able learners, and make the open source platform available to other institutions.
http://www.edxonline.org/faqs.html
So, Are You Planning to Use edX?
The edX website will begin by hosting MITx and Harvardx content, with the goal of adding content from other universities interested in joining the platform.
Image source: http://bit.ly/KoEHm5
But, Please REMEMBER…
“The campus environment offers opportunities and experiences that cannot be replicated online…EdX is
designed to improve, NOT REPLACE, the campus experience.”

Khan has stated a vision of turning the academy into a charter school:
“This (Khan Academy) could be the DNA for a physical school where students spend 20 percent of their day
watching videos and doing self-paced exercises and the rest of the day (80%) building robots or painting pictures or
composing music or whatever.”

In 2010, the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) commissioned
the University of Oxford to undertake a study to assess the impact of
the use of OER in the UK higher education sector.
The study team conducted interviews and held workshops with staff
(strategists and tutors) and students from 11 universities across the
sector.
The ‘OER Impact Study’ ran from November 2010 to June 2011.

Recommendations
Enhancing Teaching Practice
Approach online resources primarily as a means to enhance your
practice, not necessarily as a way to develop a course more
quickly.
Adopt an open approach to your academic practice, seeking to
share resources and ideas both within your disciplinary
community and beyond it.
http://bit.ly/LXQx55
1
Recommendations
Supporting Learners
Provide opportunities for students to share, discuss and critique the
online resources that they have discovered themselves.
Continue to evaluate and collate online resources in order to scaffold
students’ access to online resources.
In study skills tuition, pay attention to sources other than ‘conventional’
text. Continue to improve digital literacy, especially in relation to non-
textual sources.
When teaching students referencing and citation skills, include non-
traditional sources such as podcasts and videos.
http://bit.ly/LXQx55
2
Recommendations
Improving Services to Students and Staff
When setting out students’ expectations and entitlements in relation to their learning experience, provide appropriate justification and assurances regarding the incorporation of resources originating from other institutions.
Capitalise on existing professional development activities in order to foster a voluntary culture of sharing and reuse.
Consider the reuse of online resources strategically, assessing their potential to save time or offer other efficiencies over a longer term rather than a shorter term and take account of the fact that teachers may perceive the benefits differently.
http://bit.ly/LXQx55
3
Recommendations
Funding Bodies
Continue to support the production of OER in the context of reuse and consider targeting that support towards the development of interdisciplinary resources and resources in under-represented disciplines.
Support and promote ‘open’ approaches in teaching and learning practice.
Continue to support the development of technologies to improve the discoverability of OER produced by universities.
Lobby for the easing of copyright restrictions where resources are to be used for educational purposes.
http://bit.ly/LXQx55
4
Recommendations
Further Research
Further research into the reuse, in a global context, of full courses/modules of OER produced in your country.
Further research into the optimal ways to foster teachers’ reuse of OER.

Sharing, Remixing & Repurposing OER
Source: https://openeducationalresources.pbworks.com/w/page/25228307/OER%20Myths
OER Development Cycle? The OER LIFE CYCLE begins with a desire or need to learn or teach something. The following sequence of steps illustrates a typical development process:
No Steps Description
1. Find Search and find OERs using variety of OER search engines and look for existing resource lists made available online by experts.
2. Create With a collection of resources at your disposal, start fusing them together to form a learning resource. When creating OERs take into account usability, durability, accessibility and effectiveness, especially regarding format (output).
3. Localize Making a resource more useful to a particular situation (contextualizing). This may involve minor corrections and improvements, remixing components, localization and even complete rework for use in diverse contexts.
4. Remix Remixing is the act of taking two (or more) OER materials and merging them to form a new OER.
5. License Select the appropriate Creative Commons license for your OER project.
6. Use This covers the actual use of OER for your context.
7. Share Once an OER is finished, make it available for the open education community to re-use and begin the life cycle again.
Before finding and remixing OERs, set the course/module/topic aims and objectives (and course outline if possible). It might change as you develop, but it is good to have a starting destination (or map).
Adapted from : http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/mod/oucontent/view.php?id=397777§ion=3.2 & http://wikieducator.org/OER_Handbook/educator/OER_Lifecycle
OER Evaluation Tools?
To help you determine the aspects of quality of OERs, Achieve has developed eight rubrics in collaboration with leaders from the OER community:
1. Degree of Alignment to Standards
2. Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter
3. Utility of Materials Designed to Support Teaching
4. Quality of Assessment
5. Quality of Technological Interactivity
6. Quality of Instructional Tasks and Practice Exercises
7. Opportunities for Deeper Learning
8. Assurance of Accessibility
