  • In 2004 I began asking my students to post their homework on their personal, publicly accessible blogs.
  • By changing their homework assignments from disposable, private conversations between them and me (the way printed or e-mailed assignments work in students’ minds) into public, online statements that became part of a continuing conversation, we realized very real benefits.
  • The result was a teacher’s dream — the students’ writing became a little longer, a little more thoughtful, and a little more representative of their actual intellectual abilities.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • When the visits and comments from professionals around the world started coming in, students realized that the papers they were writing weren’t just throw-away pieces for class – they were read and discussed by their future peers out in the world.
  • I began posting my syllabus on a publicly available wiki and doing my best to select only readings that were also publicly available and that I could link to from the syllabus.
  • I needed to find online articles and materials that my students would be able to get with a single click at no cost.
  • As I began blogging about my online teaching materials, people from around the world began to see and make use of them in their own courses. Others outside universities started using them to guide their personal study.
  • Introduction to Open Education.
  • Do we professors, who live rather privileged lives relative to the vast majority of the planet’s population, have a moral obligation to make our teaching efforts as broadly impactful as possible, reaching out to bless the lives of as many people as we can? Especially when participatory technologies make it so inexpensive (almost free) for us to do so? I believe the answer is yes. —David Wiley

'Open Courseware' Idea Spreads - Technology - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 0 views

  • "People who come to public health are committed to really making a difference in the lives of people," he says. "By and large academics, especially in public health, realize that the availability of the content is going to have a beneficial effect."
  • Copyright is another challenge in running open-courseware projects, the meeting's participants say.
  • Many professors regularly use charts, graphs, or other illustrations they've culled from textbooks or other copyrighted works in slide presentations or handouts. Although using those illustrations in a classroom is allowed under fair-use provisions of copyright law, universities must get permission before putting the same materials online where anyone can see them.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • He says he prefers material on open-courseware sites over that found on professors' Web sites. "There's some level of quality control and general oversight associated" with open courseware, he says. "If I'm just strolling around on the Internet and come across some random professor's Web site," he adds, "it just kind of dilutes my confidence in it, and it makes me spend a lot more time really sitting down and looking for what I like."
  • Though officials hope the materials will have educational benefit, they stress that they are not a substitute for taking courses at the institutions.

      This is a great discussion of how you (the ORIGINATOR of a CC-licensed work) still retain the rights to profit from your work. This might help allay fears that CC licensing work locks authors into giving away IP that they could otherwise make money on.

    Great article that defines students' level of comfort in educational learning tasks as a function of A) their comfort with technology, and B) their confidence as learners. Dispels the myth that technology is "native" to younger users, and provides a way forward in educating different students different ways.
