discussion: What does 'Open' mean to you?◀ | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Re: What does 'Open' mean to you? by ◀ |
Should this matter? Does it matter to you? To what extent were these maybe not full open? Is this maybe a case where they were open on a some of the axis that Paul points to (social, legally) but not technologically? Are there more subtle ways in which we can understand technological openness? | questions | 2013-07-19 13:10 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Re: What does 'Open' mean to you? by ◀ |
Why are there no OER initiatives that start with the premise that there are lots of existing high quality OER out there, so lets just find the best resources and modify/adapt them for our own academic use? Is it because all faculty believe they have a unique understanding of their domain and want to create courses that reflect that uniqueness? I wonder if the OER movement will ever evolve to a mode of development where OER are collaboratively developed right from the onset by faculty across multiple institutions? Will OER initiatives eventually generate communities of academic peers who share a common academic domain and agree to collaborate on it together over time (like open source software)? | questions | 2013-07-19 13:09 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||

Clearly, "freedoms" are core to the idea of "openness" - but which one? Is it important to you that you be able to re-sell a derivative work that may have included someone else's seed content? How about not having to share your derived work with others? Is that important? | questions | 2013-07-19 13:07 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| What does 'Open' mean to you? by ◀ |
Is it ok if a work does not allow you to create derivatives? Even if you don't want to change the work, what might some of the issues be with using a work that doesn't allow derivatives? | questions | 2013-07-19 13:07 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
discussion: Week 2 - 'Creating OERs' - so...why?◀ | ||||||
| Re: Week 2 - 'Creating OERs' - so...why? by ◀ |
I wonder, how do people believe they can convince their colleagues to make a switch to creating open resources and what sort of issues do they see with managers in their organisations? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:58 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Re: Week 2 - 'Creating OERs' - so...why? by ◀ |
Sometimes these have to be paid & paid again for every single student who uses them, every single time they are used. Doesn't this seem a little crazy to you? Wouldn't it be FAR more efficient, making better use of taxpayers' money, if we were legally allowed & institutionally encouraged to build on existing resources, using our precious time to update, contextualize, & even translate if necessary | questions | 2013-07-19 12:57 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Re: Week 2 - 'Creating OERs' - so...why? by ◀ |
I am also wondering if these times of economic restraint might be a deterrent to open and freely available content? What are people seeing happening to their budgets for creating and revising materials/courses? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:57 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Re: Week 2 - 'Creating OERs' - so...why? by ◀ |
Another reason for those of us in the public education system is 'accountability'. In most cases, we get paid with public funds to develop educational materials. Shouldn't the public then benefit from these materials? If we are sharing them with our fellow provincial citizens, why not share them more widely? Honestly: do we really believe that by locking our educational resources within the province (as if this could be done), that we will increase our competitive advantage? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:54 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
discussion: How do you currently find OER?◀ | ||||||
| Re: How do you currently find OER? by ◀ |
Are OER a way to make less expensive content to serve those who can add value or status to it to repurpose it more easily for mass production and sell it without guilt or legal annoyance? Is charity a cooler way of branding and marketing? Is it a way to exerce cultural control on those who use them (banking education?) Is it the latest trend for those who are after a grant? All reasons above, none of them, some of them, irrelevant, a win-win situation or not appropriate ? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:52 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Re: How do you currently find OER? by ◀ |
What do I do with all of these things that are sent my way, that I find based on my requests...ahh, I'll leave that for another post. For now, I still would love to hear how other people go about this. Do you use OER-sepcifc collection sites like Merlot or OER Commons? Custom search engines? Your library's site? Don't know where to look? Let us know! | questions | 2013-07-19 12:49 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| How do you currently find OER? by ◀ |
Or, if you don't know where to find them, why not ask others about something specific you are looking for. Have a particular topic you teach and want to know where to look for additional resources? Let us know and maybe someone can help. | questions | 2013-07-19 12:48 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| How do you currently find OER? Where do you go to find them? Got a favourite site? Favourite search engine? Share it here! | questions | 2013-07-19 12:48 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | |||
discussion: How do you create OERs? Finding the balance◀ | ||||||
| Re: How do you create OERs? Finding the balance by ◀ |
How can we get used to teaching in the open? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:47 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
discussion: New to this topic? What are your questions?◀ | ||||||
| New to this topic? What are your questions? by ◀ |
Are you new to OER? What was your first thoughts when you saw the seminar description? Is this what you were expecting? Has this discussion been useful to you? Are there questions you have that you are not seeing addressed? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:43 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
discussion: who is taking leadership with OER?◀ | ||||||
| Another view by ◀ |
How big is the biggest personal network you are prepared or able to manage? Are you missing some of the good stuff, because your personal network does extend wide enough or deep enough? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:41 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Other rating systems by ◀ |
Is there any evidence that there is support for this? Are there any actual implementations? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:41 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| More open textbooks by ◀ |
Is there anything available now or in discussion that addresses this vetting, credibility-bestowing? What would your institution and/or your colleagues need to replace the publishers' selection, review and commitment as evidenced by the $100,000s publishing, marketing and distribution costs? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:40 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| What happens to this accepted foundation if you don't have textbooks prepared, published and distributed through that system? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:40 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | |||
| Re: who is taking leadership with OER? by ◀ |
What about others - is anyone else having luck in their country getting publications funded by taxpayer dollars either put into the public domain or published under 'open' licenses? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:36 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
discussion: Week 3 - Making OER Less Instructor-Centric◀ | ||||||
| Week 3 - Making OER Less Instructor-Centric by ◀ |
To what extent do you see this as a problem? Are there ways in which instructor-led materials can be repurposed to work better for self-directed learners, or is itself simply carrying on a 'banking' model of education? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:35 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
discussion: Open Source Assessment◀ | ||||||
| Open Source Assessment by ◀ |
Hello, I received a request today to formulate a unit for student teachers using open source assessment tools. The ultimate results should result in data to show individual and class progress. Anyone have any favorite options? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:12 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
discussion: Using Other People's Work◀ | ||||||
| Re: Using Other People's Work by ◀ |
Would this mean that we are not allowed to use a photo in a ppt presentation with a different title? What do the words "remix"and "tweak" entail exactly? Any concrete examples? Where do we draw the line? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:09 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Re: Using Other People's Work by ◀ |
If I use a CC share alike image from Flickr, does that mean my course must be licensed as such as well? That wouldn't bother me a bit, but I can see it being a deterrent. | questions | 2013-07-19 12:09 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Using Other People's Work by ◀ |
Or do I have this completely wrong; are OERs getting remixed and revised everywhere? Point out your favourite examples to help inspire others. | questions | 2013-07-19 12:08 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Have you remixed or revised someone else's materials? What was the experience like? Are there things that made it easier, or things you'd recommend others to consider to do to facilitate this for others? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:08 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | |||
| What is stopping you from re-mixing an existing OER for your own uses? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:08 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | |||
| Look around, and the larger media zeitgeist seems to be one of remix and mashups, yet it is not clear that the same can be said of Open Educational Resources - it is hard to find a lot of good examples of educational remizes. Why? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:08 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | |||
discussion: Week 3 - Making OER Less Content-Centric◀ | ||||||
| Re: Week 3 - Making OER Less Content-Centric by ◀ |
Who knew that that clunky looking OER was a wonder when students and faculty revved it up and took it out for spin? Who knew that the slick looking OER beside it looked good but didn't perform well? And isn't it amazing how a really good driver (and interesting passengers) can get the most out of an old vehicle and make that journey a joy? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:05 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Re: Week 3 - Making OER Less Content-Centric by ◀ |
How much time and effort does it take to create a course using OERs? Is it more or less than creating a course from scratch? 2. What is the quality of the OER supported course? 3. What is the impact on and reaction of the faculty and other staff involved in the design and delivery of OER supported courseware? 4. What resources exist to support large scale OER development and sharing? 5. What is the impact on the pedagogy of a course and on the learners when a institution creates a course using multiple OERs from different sources? 6. What is the impact of the Creative Commons licence and other copyright laws on the use of OERs in the developing world? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:02 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Re: Week 3 - Making OER Less Content-Centric by ◀ |
Maybe that would add a more dynamic dimension with less need to perhaps repurpose something ? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:00 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Week 3 - Making OER Less Content-Centric by ◀ |
Do you think this is true? If it is true, is it a problem? If it's a problem, what can we do differently? How might we change our educational practices themselves to become more open, or position educational resources to facilitate more learner to learner interaction? | questions | 2013-07-19 12:00 | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
