This document provides an overview of teaching and learning support activities at Osaka University. It discusses the Teaching and Learning Support Center (TLSC) which was established in 2013 to introduce active learning across campus. The TLSC utilizes ICT systems like lecture capture and mobile response systems to enhance learning both in and outside the classroom. It also oversees faculty development programs, workshops, and a future faculty program to train graduate students in teaching skills. The TLSC aims to create a positive spiral of learning through various teaching support initiatives and establish a one-stop service for campus-wide faculty development.

What is OCW
An OpenCourseWare (OCW) is a free and open digital publication of high
quality college and university‐level educational materials. These materials are
organized as courses, and often include course planning materials and
evaluation tools as well as thematic content. OpenCourseWare are free and
openly licensed, accessible to anyone, anytime via the internet.

32. • Open Source Software
• Wikipedia
• Creative Commons
• These activities suggests OER can be effective
trends towards improving higher education.
Will OER movement improve
education?
33. • Open sharing and open access give instructors a chance to
review their own lectures and to learn on their peer’s
lectures
– Open Classroom, real-time streaming, lecture capture
• Promoting reuse of the educational contents
– Collaborative work for revising teaching materials
– Developing various versions of contents that covers divers needs
of learners.
• Enables to invest bigger budget on a course that can be
used by teaching massive learners
– MOOC model
– Sending out good and unique educational resources to world.
The same contents can be used for university general education.
Effect of OCW/OER
34. • Started OpenCourseWare in May 2005
• Joined edX in March 2014.
• Providing various support for faculty to share
their educational materials and lectures
– LMS,lecture capture system, Mooc development
Osaka University’s movement
35. Top-down approach
• Developing MOOC courses and publish them through global MOOC
platform (e.g. EdX) and reform university for global age. At the
sametime, the course can be used for internal (on campus)
education.
• University positively support Open Education Movement
Bottom-up approach
• Encouraging faculty to make their learning materials open by
publishing them through OCW
• Recording and archiving lectures for later use and review
• More contents archived, less efforts to convert them into OCW or
MOOCs
Two approaches for OER movement
40. OER / MOOC Movement
• Has potentials to improve quality, cost effectiveness and
efficiency of higher education
• Bringing in a competition among universities who are
planning to do their business in the area where a needs for
higher education is rapidly growing
Educational contents in Japanese or English?
• Japanese contents can not be used globally sometimes
• Japanese contents are useful for internal use and sharing
contents among Japanese Universities.
• Sharing educational contents among Asian universities are
needed to develop contents with Asian cultural
background.
