Open Education

I have some
applied
experience in
Open Education
(ie: used OER,
taken an open
course, etc)

I implement
Open Education
practices
regularly
(use/create OER,

initiatives
5. Outcomes
• Define three pillars of Open Education
• Explain what the 5 R’s are
• Identify the different types of Creative Commons
licenses and what each one allows and does not
allow.
• Correctly attribute an open resource using the TASL
framework.
• Understand license considerations for content you
create
6. “…openness is the sole
means by which
education is effected.
If a teacher is not sharing
what he or she knows,
there is no education
happening.
Education is sharing.
Education is about being
open.”
Openness as Catalyst for an Educational Reformation, David Wiley, EDUCAUSE Review, vol. 45, no. 4 (July/August 2010): 14–20

7. Pillar 1: Open Educational Resources
Photo Day #93 by Martin Weller CC-BY-SA
“Open Educational Resources (OERs)
are any type of educational materials
that are in the public domain or
introduced with an open license. The
nature of these open materials means
that anyone can legally and freely
copy, use, adapt and re-share them.”
UNESCO
8. Pillar 2: Open Pedagogy
Open Pedagogy is an access-oriented
commitment to learner-driven
education and as a process of
designing architectures and using
tools for learning that enable
students to shape the public
knowledge commons of which they
are a part. Jhangiani & DeRosa (2017)

9. “Open education is not limited to just open
educational resources. It also draws upon open
technologies that facilitate collaborative, flexible
learning and the open sharing of teaching
practices that empower educators to benefit
from the best ideas of their colleagues.”
Cape Town Open Education Declaration, 2007
Pillar 3: Open technology

How to attribute a CC resource
25. Modified image Shark! by

arrow added. Shark text from
Wikipedia used under a CC-BY-
SA
Never will be me
Sharks are a group of fish characterized by a
cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on
the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are
not fused to the head.

27. Adding CC license: 3 Considerations
1. Only license to content that can be copyright, and that
you have created.
2. CC licenses cannot be revoked
3. Decide what you want people to do with your content.
Which Creative Commons License is right for me? (PDF)
https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Considerations_for_licensors_and_licensees#Make_sure_the_material_is_appropriate_for_CC_licensing.
28. Once you have decided on a license
1. Add a Creative Commons license mark to your work.
Use the CC license picker (good for html), MS Office
plugin, or manually add a CC mark.
2. Consider adding an attribution statement so people
know to attribute you.
3. Share your resource on your blog.
4. Consider sharing your resource in a repo that
supports CC licenses (ie Flickr)
30. Finding OER
Open Textbooks
(remember you don’t have to use entire textbook. Copy, cut/paste and use just parts, bits and
pieces if you want)
• open.bccampus.ca The BC Campus collection
• OpenStax College major project out of Rice University
General Searches
• Use the Creative Commons search engine
• Search Google using Advanced Search (scroll down to usage rights. How do these line up with
the CC licenses?) Always follow back to original source to confirm license on the original site.
Public General repositories
• Wikimedia Commons: content created by community to support Wikipedia articles
• Flickr: user generated photos & The Commons, open photos from cultural institutions
• Slideshare: Presentations and slides
Edu specific
• OER Commons
• MERLOT (be sure to drill down into communities for specific academic resources, like the
Teacher Education portal)
• MIT Open Courseware
• SOLR - BC created open resources
Territorial acknowledgement: Lkwungen people now known as the Esquimalt and Songhees nations on who’s traditional territory I live, work, play and today learn
Open as a educational value
Open Education Resources
Curricular resources
Granddaddy of the open education movement
Begin around the turn of the century
Inspired by open source software movement - Why can’t we do this in education?
Open Textbooks, Open Courseware
Online Program Development Fund & Open Textbook Project
Free (5R reuse, revise, remix, redistribute, retain)
Pedagogy that is enabled by the internet and collaborative technology
Disposable assignment
Wiki-Educator program (Wikipedia)
Students build the textbook
It is built on the belief that everyone should have the freedom to use, customize, improve and redistribute educational resources without constraint.
Even more important than 10 years ago business models for ownership of software changes
Technology enables Open – OER, OP require technology (specifically internet)
Tech reduce the cost of copying and distribution to almost nothing
No proprietary software or files -Defeats purpose to have free open OER if costs $$$ to use them
Reason we chose Pressbooks for OTB – source files can be used with other PB
Require tech knowledge
Tech – become more restrictive more proprietary – ownership vs leasing
John Deere – farmers repairing tractors
step 2 is to simply receive the license
there are 6 CC licenses that reflect a spectrum of rights
for the photos I share on Flickr, I use the Attribution only license, which means that anyone can download, copy, distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon them, even commercially, as long as they give me credit

of course the 3 layer approach of CC licenses and CC0 Public Domain Dedication helps communicate rights
humans can understand a simple deed with primary rights and responsibilities described with those pervasive icons you see
lawyers we have a legally enforceable legal code
machine readable metadata that can be understood by search engines so you can filter for content based on the CC licenses
there are six CC licenses that offer a spectrum of rights
the most recognized and widely used license for Open Access is CC BY
allows for unconditional reuse of the licensed material except for requirement that author is credited
public domain tools - CC0 public domain dedication is a waiver of copyright and related rights thus placing the content into the public domain
