Dreams of Open Education Health and
   Nutrition Resources


    •   a few cautious steps from
        the Faculty of Land and
        Food Systems at UBC




Cyprien Lomas
Director, Learning Centre
Faculty of Land and Food Systems
University of British Columbia

• 40K students,
• 11 schools & faculties
• have centralised /
  decentralised support

• central units pushing a
  simple solution
  (WebCT)
more about UBC...


• centralised - decentralised
  collaboration

• WebCT campus
• Office of Learning
  Technologies is the owner
  (and champion) of WebCT
UBC is the birthplace of WebCT

  • WebCT used for everything...

  • quot;just webCT itquot;

  • recently switched over to Vista
UBC is the birthplace of WebCT

  • WebCT used for everything...

  • quot;just webCT itquot;

  • recently switched over to Vista
The Faculty Mindset

• have WebCT for free...

• perceived as ‘up to date’
  to be using WebCT


• anything else would take
  more effort - therefore     http://blogs.landfood.ubc.ca/ubcfarm/


  not likely
Faculty use the following WebCT tools


• course content
  (powerpoints / PDFs)

• discussion board
• gradebook
• quizzes
Faculty of Land & Food Systems

• running Sakai & Moodle servers (quietly)



• looking for people to test them out
Faculty of Land & Food Systems


• shotgun strategy to
  changing culture

• Creative Commons
  considerations



• intellectual
  property
Faculty of Land & Food Systems



• would talk about ‘open’
  only with very close,
  trusted colleagues


                            •   used with Permission from Bjorn Thomson
Food and Nutrition


• nutrition in Vietnam
• what are the
  challenges?

• approached to talk
  about potential
Came offering help



• instructors open to sharing
  resources.. but


• don’t have the vocabulary
  for what ‘open’ means
                                  http://internationalnutrition.landfood.ubc.ca/
started partnership


• create site to share
  resources

• Vista wouldn’t work :)
• ended up going with
  Drupal
put together a framework


• snuck in the word ‘open’
• prof asked colleagues to
  contribute materials
building the site...



• course content was
  powerpoint & WebCT

• scrutinised ownership of
  material in lecture slides
Phased this into a multi year plan.



• suspect that the
  appropriate pace
  is closer to five
  years
Conclusions


• very willing faculty
• need to work on copyright
  awareness

• much more work needed-
  mostly cultural                 http://www.landfood.ubc.ca
Next steps



• holding the ‘open education’
    conference in August 2009

•
• initiatives elsewhere in British Columbia
•   thanks!
