Introduction to Open Education

Slide2

Open Education

Open education is a philosophy about the way people should produce, share, and build on knowledge. Proponents of open education believe everyone in the world should have access to high-quality educational experiences and resources, and they work to eliminate barriers to this goal

Slide3

The technology we use today allows us to:share our own educational materials freely and extend our reach for teaching and educating others find & use existing free high-quality educational materials that meet our own instructional goals and the needs of our students

build upon the works of others to enhance the quality of existing teaching and learning materials Open Education

Barriers to Open EducationBarrier to Sharing and Reusing Materials

Open Educational Resources

Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or

have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others. The

William and Flora Hewlett Foundation: http://www.hewlett.org/programs/education-program/open-educational-resources

Slide6

Free Access + Free Permissions

Free Access + Free Permissions - The 5 R’s

Open licenses provides at least 2 kinds of permissions:

Reuse – Permission to make and reuse exact copiesRedistribute

– Permission to share copies with others 

Open should also provide

these

additional permissions: 

Revise

– Permission to change, adapt, and alter the resource

Remix

– Permission to combine the OER with other materials to produce a new

work

Retain –

Users have the right to make, archive, and “own” copies of the content

Quality Question

Open Textbook Quality VariesAs with traditionally published resourcesNo perfect textbook

Peer ReviewsOpen Textbook Library

https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/Textbook Selection

Faculty sometimes select a textbook then build a course around the book

Open textbooks can be adapted and edited to fit the learning objectives and goals for a course

Slide12

Students who use OER tend to do as well or better than their peers using traditional textbooks in terms of course completion and passing rates.Literature indicates that open textbooks are connected with high student and faculty satisfaction, lower costs, and similar or better educational outcomes.

Efficacy and Perceptions of OER

Slide13

An interdisciplinary research group that (1) conducts original, rigorous, empirical research on the impact of OER adoption on a range of educational outcomes and (2) designs and shares methodological and conceptual frameworks for studying the impact of OER adoption.

Slide15

OER-Enabled PedagogyOER-enabled

pedagogy is the set of teaching and learning practices only possible or practical when you have permission to engage in the 5R activities.David Wileyhttps

Slide16

Content and resources adhere to the 5RsAccess to the materials freely availableUsers must have the tools, skills, and an Internet connection to access the resources

ADA complianceFormats that can be used by everyone Open Educational Practice Considerations

Slide17

Learning Environments - Are your students entirely at a distance, face-2-face, or a blended/hybrid approach?Can students generate

work that can also be contributed to the open community?OER-Enabled Pedagogy Exampleshttp://openedgroup.org/oer-enabled-pedagogy

Open Educational Practice Considerations

Slide18

Building Communities of ContributorsInvite students to participate in creating materials that can be contributed to the commonsCourse assignments in which students update or adapt OER, create OER for future students in the courseWriting op-ed pieces or annotating readings on the open web 

Open Educational Practice

Slide19

Students spend hours working on an assignment/essay/projectSubmits it to one person Only instructor will read it Instructor provides written

formative feedback and returns back to studentHow many of them actually read the feedback? Student throws away the assignment

Renewable Assignment ExampleWhy

have students answer questions when they can write them?- RAJIV JHANGIANI , PH.D.Students were asked to write 4 questions each week, 2 factual (e.g., a definition or evidence-based prediction) and 2 applied (e.g., scenario-type

).For the first two weeks they wrote just one plausible distractor and the instructor,

Jhangiani, provided the question stem, the correct answer, and 2 plausible distractors). They also peer reviewed questions written by 3 of their (randomly assigned) peers.

Slide21

For the next two weeks they wrote two plausible distractors (the rest of the procedure was the same).For the next two weeks they wrote all 3 plausible distractors (the rest of the procedure was the same).For

the remainder of the semester they wrote the stem, the correct answer, and all the distractors.Result - class of 35 students wrote 1400 questions in the span of 10 weeks!

The Noba catalog covers the traditional scope of introductory psychology and then some. The goals of Noba

are three-fold:To reduce financial burden on students by providing access to free educational contentTo provide instructors with a platform to customize educational content to better suit their curriculumTo present free, high-quality material written by a collection of experts and authorities in the field of

psychologyhttp://nobaproject.com

Matters
