    Clark: "he Phonar course has taken the MOOC approach. It is module of the third year of a BA at the university but as their web site says: ' An essential part of this will be non-paying attendees (you) joining in with us, submitting your work, mashing up ours and other people's, asking questions of each other and contributing answers.  This may not be Massive yet but it is Open and Online so I have included it.   The course itself is free but external learners can buy optional 20 minute tutorials."

  • 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.)

  • "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.

shared by Boris Bockelmann on 20 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • Particularly for OERs, the current type of static metadata is not a good fit: authors of OERs are notoriously negligent about filling out metadata fields. For free content, with few exceptions (notably MIT Open Courseware), there is no infrastructure for anybody else to do the cataloging. Thus, this type of static metadata is essentially useless, and educators cannot find the content they need.
  • information is scattered, embedded into other contexts, or of the wrong granularity
  • For content to be truly reusable and remixable, it needs to be context-free

    Polish government decided in favour of open-licensed e-textbooks. This is not to liking of big textbook publishers, reaping in profits hand over fist. While their black PR campaign focuses on technicalities, it seems obvious that their real beef is with the liberal licensing. Persons: Michał "rysiek" Woźniak

  • OPAL has been established through international organisations including UNESCO, ICDE and EFQUEL in order to establish a forum which works to build greater trust in using and promoting open educational resources. The project is part funded by the European Commission Education and Training Lifelong Learning Programme.
  • OPAL Initiative is a partnership between seven organizations including ICDE, UNESCO, European Foundation for Quality, the Open University UK, Aalto University and the Catholic University Portugal. It is led by the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany and partly funded by the European Commission.
  • The OPAL Initiative moves beyond the issue of access to open educational resources (OER), and focuses on innovation and quality through open educational practices (OEP). Existing approaches for fostering the use of OER have made achievements by focusing on building access to resources (MERLOT, MIT OpenCourseWare, Stanford iTunes,OpenLearn, Rice University, the UNESCO Open Training Platform, the UNESCO OER wiki) and licence models (Creative Commons). However, concerns over quality, the absence of trust on the part of learners and educators, and a lacking sense of ownership of the materials hinder wider acceptance of OER. OPAL seeks to build trust by establishing an environment for quality and Innovation through OEP.

  • Open Education is a collective term that is used to refer to many practices and activities that have both openness and education at their core.
  • First and foremost, open education is about removing barriers to education.
  • However it also reflects other cultural changes, such as the move to open up learning methods and practices, which sees the blurring or removal of traditional roles such as teacher and student, moving towards roles such as mentor and learner.

  • In redesigning systems for creating and sharing knowledge to be open, we can address deep inequities in the current system.
  • Openness can enable equity, but does not ensure it. Equity can only be achieved by design, with accountability, and in partnership with those who have been excluded.
  • The goal is to move from conversations to commitments and to create accountability in making progress together

  • Over the next year, we will also focus on developing a long-term sustainability plan to provide the support the community needs
