Defining Open Educational Practices (OEP) Last week I attended the kick off meeting for an exciting new EU-funded project, OPAL, from the website: The Open Educational Quality Initiative will focus on provision of innovative open educational practices and promote quality, innovation and transparency in higher and adult education. Beginning in January 2010, the two-year OPAL Initiative is a partnership between seven organizations including ICDE, UNESCO and ICDE member institution, the Open University UK, and will be coordinated by the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. As you can see the project has a strong consortium with some significant players/representatives from across the EU. For us at the OU it builds nicely on two stands of related work – our work on OER (through the development of the OpenLearn site and more recently the Olnet initiative) and the OU Learning Design Initiative. So what do we mean by Open Educational Practices (OEP)? The stakeholders engaged with creating, using or supporting the use of OER.
didattIcare | Didattica laboratoriale per la scuola secondaria di primo grado Do we need Open Educational Resources (OER)? « Learn Online Santtu at the helm by wili_hybrid When I get a free minute I try to get through some of my feedreader. Unfortunately I don’t get very far into it because Abject Learning is first in the list. This time Brian is questioning the need for OER, and I have to say I largely share his position, it is over rated in the grand scheme of things. One of the other participants asked a question that resonated with me: if we live in an era of information abundance, why is the primary drive around OERs the publication of more content? The predictable response from content centric OER proponents relates to copyright and freedom, OER content is “free”. But as Brian points out, this is increasingly a non issue: I staked out something of a confrontational stance… that higher education is still conducting its business as if information is scarce when we now live in an era of unprecedented information abundance. Already, formal education is out of the picture in every way. Like this: Like Loading...
Editoria e tecnologie W3C: il punto di incontro | Webaccessibile.org (ISSN: 1721-4874) È ormai da qualche anno che il mondo dell’editoria è in fermento, sulla spinta dei potenti colpi inferti dall’innovazione che inevitabilmente il digitale comporta. Credo che siano noti a tutti fenomeni come Amazon o iTunes, e le loro conseguenze su quello che era il mercato. Nel caso dell’editoria, sembra che la discussione sia focalizzata su un punto a mio parere secondario, ovvero una presunta lotta fra cartaceo e digitale che comporta interminabili discussioni su quale sia il migliore, vantaggi e svantaggi dell’uno o dell’altro, e così via. Ma il focus della discussione dovrebbe essere sui contenuti: limitandosi a “carta vs. e-book” si identifica il prodotto editoriale come se questo fosse rappresentato esclusivamente dalla sua distribuzione. Certo, la distribuzione è un momento importante, ma cosa distribuisco se prima non ho creato un adeguato contenuto? Attualmente una risposta a queste esigenze, per esempio, è il diffuso formato PDF.
