  • I have little doubt that many of the bar campers will go away and do good things and add them to the list.
  • there was no sign of a clear route or any kind of national or even regional strategy

  • don’t expect a breakthrough early
  • that the OER concept will continue to go largely un-noticed in Germany unless the baton is passed from the evangelists to the pragmatists
  • Maybe an engagement of the pragmatists  needs to be in the Master Plan?

  • digital textbook initiative
  • August 2009 sollen e-books die herkömmlichen Schulbücher aus Papier ablösen. Zunächst in den High Schools für die Bereiche Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften.
  • Später sollen nach und nach alle anderen Bereiche abgedeckt werden.

  • Tatsächlich: Die Materialien stehen i.d.R. unter einer Creative Commons Lizenz, dürfen also nach Belieben vervielfältigt, verändert und weitergegeben werden.
  • Die Diskussion um den flächendeckenden Einsatz digitaler Medien in den Schulen kommt ernsthaft in Gang.
  • Die Wittener SPD hat sich in ihrem Programm zur Kommunalwahl 2009 (pdf, S. 17) offensichtlich die kalifornische Initiative zum Vorbild genommen und fordert, Schüler mit elektronischen Büchern (zunächst für die Naturwissenschaften und Mathematik) auszustatten. Diese sogenannte ”Initiative ‘Witten.Lernen.21′”
  • Für die Bewegung für freie Materialien (vgl. Wikibooks oder Open Educational Resources – OER) kann das einen enormen Aufschung bedeuten
  • Bisher ist die vorhandene Unterstützung durch Stiftungen, Spenden oder staatlichen Förderungen in den USA nur in sehr begrenztem und im deutschsprachigen Raum in verschwindend geringem Umfang vorhanden.

      It's the human dialog which makes the difference, stupid!
  • only 7% of students in this type of class actually make it to the end. (This is even worse than for-profit colleges such as the University of Phoenix, which graduates 17% of its full-time online students, according to the Department of Education.)
  • "The sort of simplistic suggestion that MOOCs are going to disrupt the entire education system is very premature,"
  • He then set about a number of other initiatives to address this thorny problem, including hiring "mentors," many of them former academics looking for a change, to moderate class forums and offer help via live chats
  • He offered college credit
  • A student taking college algebra in person was 52% more likely to pass than one taking a Udacity class
  • "These were students from difficult neighborhoods, without good access to computers, and with all kinds of challenges in their lives," he says. "It's a group for which this medium is not a good fit."
  • Learning, after all, is about more than some concrete set of vocational skills. It is about thinking critically and asking questions, about finding ways to see the world from different points of view rather than one's own. These, I point out, are not skills easily acquired by YouTube video.
  • The Georgia Tech deal isn't really a Georgia Tech deal. It's an AT&T deal."
  • All visionary entrepreneurs must, at some point, find their own sense of romance in the compromises they make to build a profitable business,

      "Unfortunately, MOOCs, with their compressed timescales, their lack of face-to-face interaction with peers and teachers, and seminars, tend to make this gradual absorption of material far less likely."

Free online textbooks really work | Bill Gates - 0 views

  • Free online textbooks really work
  • the disproportionate impact on low-income students

  • COVID’s impact on teachers
  • veteran teachers leave
  • there has never been a more important time to support teachers
  • this year marks the tenth anniversary of a project I fund personally, separately from the foundation
  • the OER Project
  • free online courses and professional development for educators
  • Although OER courses won’t solve every problem that the pandemic has caused for schools, they’re an important part of making sure teachers get the support they deserve—and students get the high-quality curriculum they need—in such difficult times.
  • there’s nothing new about the concept of OER
  • Every teacher who has ever downloaded a worksheet from Pinterest has used an open educational resource
  • complete courses, including the equivalent of online textbooks for students, coupled with instructional support and professional development for teachers
  • first two courses, Big History and World History, have reached more than 1 million students and 20,000 teachers around the world
  • Given the success we’ve seen, I’m quite optimistic about the broad impact that OER materials can have in education
  • We would love for many others to get involved and keep raising the quality of the digital tools that teachers can use. A great goal for the entire field would be to create courses and professional development for every subject and every grade. The potential here is enormous.
  • For one thing, regardless of what course or grade you’re talking about, the content needs to be developed by experts in the field and in classroom education
  • The OER Project was able to offer on-demand professional development, virtual training sessions, and an online community where teachers can share ideas and resources
  • It can be updated more frequently than print publications can
  • Courses should be created by educators and subject-matter experts, supplemented with professional development, and regularly improved with feedback from the teachers who use them
  •  
    Very good point, we should move away from the standard of printed educational books, after all in the modern world data is constantly updated so books should be revised with time.
