          Openness as a catalyst for
           innovation in education
              R. John Robertson, JISC CETIS
              SPU Symposium, Seattle 2011



                                         1
Context: JISC
• Established in 1993, JISC
  is an advisory committee
  to the HE and FE funding
  bodies across the UK.
• Its mission is: “to provide
  world-class leadership in
  the innovative use of
  information and
  communications
  technology (ICT) to
  support education,
  research and institutional
  effectiveness”.


                                2
Context: JISC CETIS
• JISC CETIS is a JISC
  Innovation Support
  Centre.
• We provide advice to
  the UK Higher and
  Post-16 Education
  sectors on the
  development and use
  of educational
  technology and
  standards.




                         33
To return to the beginning
• "Out of every ten             • “Make lots of
  innovations                     mistakes and make
  attempted, all very             them quickly”
  splendid, nine will end
  up in silliness"
  Antonio Machado

Introduction: UKOER Programmes
        • The Open Educational Resources
          Programme is a collaboration between the
          JISC and the Higher Education Academy in
          the UK.

        • The Higher Education Funding Council for
          England (HEFCE) provided an initial £5.7
          million of funding, for a pilot programme
          (April 2009 to March 2010) and a
          subsequent £5 million of funding (August
          2010- August 2011) for a follow-up
          programme both of which explore how to
          expand the open availability and use of
          free, high quality online educational
          resources.


                     7
What effect does openness have?
• Reflections on
  innovation seen
  through the
  programme

Open content as a catalyst for innovation

• I’d contend that we   
 “The future is already
  know lots of ways to    here — it's just not very
  innovate and improve evenly distributed.”
  education – making

What is an OER?

An Open proposition
• Value proposition that
  sharing content openly
  can provide a greater
  return than strict control
• Discussing this as a
  catalyst not necessarily
  a cause




                               13
education is not primarily about transfer of
          information content...
• High quality
  educational resources
  widely available – a
  given academic is no
  longer the provider of
  knowledge
• Are you a content
  provider or provider of
  learning experience?

Social responsibility

• If publicly funded,
  should the public
  have access?




                        15
Managing your educational content
•   Where do you find it?
•   Who owns it?
•   Who can use it?
•   If you want to reuse
    your colleagues
    lecture materials - can
    you find them?




                              16
Increasing recruitment
• How much do you
  spend on recruiting
  students and staff?
• How do you help
  students decide what
  they should study?




                         17
Open Textbooks
• WA SBCTC funding
  creation of ~80 openly
  licensed textbooks for
  most popular topics
• Free / Open license
• Innovation
  – Updatable
  – Adaptable
  – Lower barriers to student
    enrolment/ completion



                                18
Changes in student expectations?
• Does providing more
  flexible access to your
  resources support
  student learning?
• It may be cheaper
  and easier to give
  content to the world
  than manage access
  to limited student
  body.

                            19
Changes in pedagogy?
• If instructor time and peer interaction are key
  components of high impact learning
  experiences (Kuh) – why are we spending so
  much contact time on lectures?




                         20
The wider conversation
• How do we draw
  students into wider
  academic and public
  conversations as part
  of becoming self-
  regulated learners?




                          21
There are different approaches to open
• In the wider OER
  community there are two
  distinct approaches to
  sharing open content for
  education.
• Martin Weller
  characterises these as
  Big and Little OER

Openness as a catalyst for innovation in education

  • 1. This work is licenced under a Creative Commons Licence. Openness as a catalyst for innovation in education R. John Robertson, JISC CETIS SPU Symposium, Seattle 2011 1
  • 2. Context: JISC • Established in 1993, JISC is an advisory committee to the HE and FE funding bodies across the UK. • Its mission is: “to provide world-class leadership in the innovative use of information and communications technology (ICT) to support education, research and institutional effectiveness”. 2
  • 3. Context: JISC CETIS • JISC CETIS is a JISC Innovation Support Centre. • We provide advice to the UK Higher and Post-16 Education sectors on the development and use of educational technology and standards. 33
  • 4. To return to the beginning • "Out of every ten • “Make lots of innovations mistakes and make attempted, all very them quickly” splendid, nine will end up in silliness" Antonio Machado 4
  • 7. Introduction: UKOER Programmes • The Open Educational Resources Programme is a collaboration between the JISC and the Higher Education Academy in the UK. • The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) provided an initial £5.7 million of funding, for a pilot programme (April 2009 to March 2010) and a subsequent £5 million of funding (August 2010- August 2011) for a follow-up programme both of which explore how to expand the open availability and use of free, high quality online educational resources. 7
  • 8. What effect does openness have? • Reflections on innovation seen through the programme Photo credit and license: ‘Open’ Flickr user: mag3737 CC: BY NC SA http://www.flickr.com/photos/mag3737/1914076277/ 8
  • 9. Open content as a catalyst for innovation • I’d contend that we “The future is already know lots of ways to here — it's just not very innovate and improve evenly distributed.” education – making William Gibson any of them happen is Interview with NPR a different question 1993 9
  • 10. Defining Open • thinking about licensing can actually make it simpler • Creative Commons – BY – SA or ND http://creativecommons.org/ – NC 10
  • 11. What is an OER? • From this Image: screenshot MIT OCW http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/ civil-and-environmental-engineering/1-018j-ecology-i-the- earth-system-fall-2009/ 11 11
  • 12. What is an OER? • To this Image: screenshot http://www.flickr.com/photos/core-materials/4599222126/ 12 12
  • 13. An Open proposition • Value proposition that sharing content openly can provide a greater return than strict control • Discussing this as a catalyst not necessarily a cause 13
  • 14. education is not primarily about transfer of information content... • High quality educational resources widely available – a given academic is no longer the provider of knowledge • Are you a content provider or provider of learning experience?

  • 15. Social responsibility • If publicly funded, should the public have access? 15
  • 16. Managing your educational content • Where do you find it? • Who owns it? • Who can use it? • If you want to reuse your colleagues lecture materials - can you find them? 16
  • 17. Increasing recruitment • How much do you spend on recruiting students and staff? • How do you help students decide what they should study? 17
  • 18. Open Textbooks • WA SBCTC funding creation of ~80 openly licensed textbooks for most popular topics • Free / Open license • Innovation – Updatable – Adaptable – Lower barriers to student enrolment/ completion 18
  • 19. Changes in student expectations? • Does providing more flexible access to your resources support student learning? • It may be cheaper and easier to give content to the world than manage access to limited student body. 19
  • 20. Changes in pedagogy? • If instructor time and peer interaction are key components of high impact learning experiences (Kuh) – why are we spending so much contact time on lectures? 20
  • 21. The wider conversation • How do we draw students into wider academic and public conversations as part of becoming self- regulated learners? 21
  • 22. There are different approaches to open • In the wider OER community there are two distinct approaches to sharing open content for education. • Martin Weller characterises these as Big and Little OER (http:// nogoodreason.typepad.c o.uk/no_good_reason/ 2009/12/the-politics-of- oer.html) 22
