“…openness is the sole means by which education is effected. If a teacher is not sharing what he or she knows, there is no education happening.

In fact, those educators who share the most thoroughly of themselves with the greatest proportion of their students are the ones we deem successful.

In other words, is the teacher a successful sharer? If so, then the teacher is a successful educator. If attempts at sharing fail, then the teacher is a poor educator.

Education is sharing.

Education is about being open.”

Openness as Catalyst for an Educational Reformation, David Wiley, EDUCAUSE Review, vol. 45, no. 4 (July/August 2010): 14–20

What is Open Education?• Open Access: Publishing research in open journals.• Open Data: Releasing datasets for reuse by others. • Open Source Software: Using, sharing and collaboratively

creating software.• Open Admissions: Flexible admission policies to

institutions or courses.• Open Scholarship: Sharing of teaching and research

practices.• Open Educational Resources (OER): Sharing and reuse of

teaching and learning materials including courses (open courseware) and textbooks (open textbooks).

• Open Pedagogy: What teaching and learning practices does “open” enable?

Open Educational Resources

“Open Educational Resources (OERs) are any type of educational materials that are in the public domain or introduced with an open license. The nature of these open materials means that anyone can legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them.”

Activity: Barriers

On a sticky note, write down a barrier or fear that you may have, or may have heard expressed to you, about open education.

Activity: Build an OERBreak into small groups (3-4), and, using the resources you will see, collaboratively create a new piece of instructional content built with openly licensed resources that you find and copy from the internet. You may want to work with people who have a similar discipline background as you.

Some ideas:• If you have discipline specific knowledge or are classroom faculty, design a short lesson on

a topic that you teach using OER’s.• Search for OER’s on using OER’s and, using thse, build a primer for faculty on how to use

OER’s.• Create a handout for faculty on how to write learning objectives using OER.• Remix this workshop! Build a short presentation on OER’s with the materials I have openly

licensed today.

Search and find images, text and multimedia content from the resources you have seen today.

Be sure to attribute the resources you use correctly within the document, and decide on a license to released your newly created object with that is compatible with all the licenses in your document.

Reusability Paradox

The more context a learning object has, the more (and the more easily) a learner can learn from it.

To make learning objects maximally reusable, learning objects should contain as little context as possible.

“Therefore, pedagogical effectiveness and potential for reuse are completely at odds with one another, unless the end user is permitted to edit the learning object.”

Open Pedagogy?

At it’s core, the question of open pedagogy is “what can I do in the context of open that I couldn’t do before?”

David Wiley, Evolving Open Pedagogy

Open Pedagogy?

• Working on the open web with openly licensed materials

• Real. Authentic. It Matters.• Make connections to larger community possible.• Disposable vs. authentic assignments.

“Jonathan Worth's classes live on blogs and on Twitter (hashtag #phonar), and are proving a popular resource amongst photography enthusiasts and professionals alike.”

“Worth can see comments from students both in the room and online via Twitter or Facebook in real time, as well as allowing others to drop in, or suggest links to relevant material. It's a fluid learning experience”

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-20495489

“Through my work with #phonar I have learnt the world is filled with lots of different people and we all think and learn differently. “

“The skills I have learned and developed from the open classes have given me the confidence in my work to distribute it and enter it into national and international competitions. “
