What is Open?

What is Access?

Free (as in beer)

Where anybody can consume, access and modify •Source code•Educational resources•Other

What are Open Educational Resources (OER)?

•As far as I am concerned, absolutely everything!

•Caveat, this is from the perspective of the independent self-directed learner.

•This is different for anything organized.

Wikis, books, rich-media, internet, everything…

In my experience with OER, it seems to come down to quality

and licensing.

How do you control the “quality” of something developed in the open?

• Featured articles, • liking, +1, traffic, reuse… etc.•these are social.

•What other ways are available?

What is the point of licensing? Who does it protect?

in the learning context, why does licensing matter… really?

What is it about the independent self-directed learner?

•Fair-dealing - Canada•Fair-use – US

•There is No case law!!!!•Even with Bill C-11

What/when is the end point for OER?

•Some people say 30 years...•Some say 10...

•Does the question even make sense?

•What is the point of OER?

How do YOU assess a person’s knowledge about something?

How should WE be assessed on our learning / depth of learning?

Where do you go for expert knowledge? How do you assess

expertise?

?

What about social search and reputation?

How could we create an Open Assessment approach?

How do we represent accomplishments?

Currently there are a plethora of approaches toward accreditation.

What are the alternative methods to recognizing accomplishments,

accreditation, and mastery?

Meta-cognition is really important.

Mindfulness, self-awareness and action.

How do you learn?

Two themes...

Metacognitive Knowledge – reflecting on what we know.

Metacognitive Regulating – directing our learning.

This leads to personal curriculum mapping.

Why shouldn't we create our own personal curriculum?

Blended is the way!!!!!

Connected learning offers much!
