HowOpenIsIt? Guide - 0 views

  •  
    Comment by Tim Vollmer, Manager of Policy and Data for Creative Commons: "...a handy, human-readable reference guide for academic authors, publishers looking into supporting Open Access, and policy makers and funders adopting open policies that require Open Access to research that is funded through the public purse... focuses primarily on describing the spectrum of Open Access policies for journals. An increasingly important and related area is the sharing of data associated with the research process. Open data have the potential to facilitate enhanced scientific collaboration and reproducibility, but it is not yet settled, from both a legal and technical perspective, how this wealth of data that leads to the creation of scholarly work will be shared. And current research suggests an approach whereby articles are licensed under an open license (preferably CC-BY), while data associated with the article are dedicated to the public domain using a tool such as the CC0 Public Domain Dedication. In this way, researchers clearly communicate-in a comprehensive manner-the rights and permissions available to users for both the text and the data."

Why Some Elite Colleges Give Away Courses Online - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 2 views

  • is there evidence of their learning effectiveness? A. That's part of what makes the OLI [Open Learning Initiative, based at Carnegie Mellon University] so unique, is that built into the environment itself, that accomplishes the teaching, is the mechanism for assessment. ... They have given a control group and a variable group the same final, and found that the students using OLI aren't hurt in the slightest by not having had the same level of in-person instruction—that the system did just as well, if not better, at teaching them this material. ... Beyond those two studies, there really hasn't been a systematic appraisal of learning outcomes based on openly available material writ large. No one disputes that these open-courseware initiatives have done much good. But it's impossible, with the currently available data, to determine how much good.

    This calculator is based on research conducted in the Department of Instructional Psychology and Technology and the Center for the Improvement of Teacher Education and Schooling at Brigham Young University in conjunction with schools in the BYU Public School Partnership using open textbooks originally provided by CK12.org. This research was funded in part by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. Cost information in the Calculator is based on pricing from Lulu, who we found to be the best option for printing open textbooks.

  •  
    An example of a faculty-centered open educational resource for the celebration of local cultures. "The Project on New York Writing seeks to generate significant new research and teaching about New York's relationship to American and global literatures and cultures.... The Project will offer students of New York literature and culture resources with which to interpret the palimpsest that is New York, to help them make sense of the myriad narratives that the city generates. One of the Project's chief aims is conservancy: we hope to preserve the history of New York writing for future generations. But another aim is the promotion of innovation: we hope to encourage all whom the Initiative serves to add to the living culture of city, reading and rewriting its narratives, enlarging the literary construct that is New York."

Business Ethics and Undergraduate Education - Democracy and Diversity - 0 views

  •  
    A study published recently in Business Education Digest (Keith, Perreault, and Chin 2009) explores students' perceptions of how prevalent and consequential ethical questions are in the business world. Surveys of business students at a midwestern university revealed that while 83 percent of students either "agree" or "strongly agree" that "situations where ethics may be called into question are frequently encountered in business," students underrate the ethical consequence of several potential conflicts....they found that women were more likely than men to believe that personal ethics and corporate behaviors should align and that ethics are essential to success.... women and men shared similar and relatively lax beliefs about what kinds of disciplinary action are appropriate, reinforcing the researchers' beliefs that more ethics education is necessary for business students.
