Transforming Learning with Open Education
No full textOpen education is more than openly sharing teaching and learning materials. It can transform learners from consumers of knowledge to contributors by creating for public audiences. This session will focus on ways of engaging in open education practices, including the basics of creating, reusing, and sharing. This workshop will examine both how educators can support learners in their role as active participants in knowledge creation and how open education approaches can support authentic learning about scholarly engagement.Continuing StudiesLibrary, UBCTeaching, Learning and Technology, Centre for (Distance Learning)UnreviewedFacultyResearche

Attitudes to the rights and rewards for author contributions to repositories for teaching and learning
No full textIn the United Kingdom over the past few years there has been a dramatic growth of national and regional repositories to collect and disseminate resources related to teaching and learning. Most notable of these are the Joint Information Systems Committee’s Online Repository for [Learning and Teaching] Materials as well as the Higher Education Academy’s subject specific resource databases. Repositories in general can hold a range of materials not only related to teaching and learning, but more recently the term ‘institutional repository’ is being used to describe a repository that has been established to support open access to a university’s research output. This paper reports on a survey conducted to gather the views of academics, support staff and managers on their past experiences and future expectations of the use of repositories for teaching and learning. The survey explored the rights and rewards associated with the deposit of materials into such repositories. The findings suggest what could be considered to be an ‘ideal’ repository from the contributors’ perspective and also outlines many of the concerns expressed by respondents in the survey
Opening teaching landscapes: The importance of quality assurance in the delivery of open educational resources
No full textScholars are increasingly being asked to share teaching materials, publish in open access journals, network in social media, and reuse open educational resources (OER). The theoretical benefits of Open Educational Practices (OEP) have become understood in the academic community but thus far, the use of OER has not been rapidly adopted. We aim to understand the challenges academics face with in attempting to adopt OEP, and identify whether these are related to or stem from the functionalities afforded by current repositories of OER (ROER). By understanding what academics and experts consider good practices, we can develop guidelines for quality in the development of ROER. In this article we present the findings from a study surveying academics using OER and experts who develop and/or work with ROER. We conclude by suggesting a framework to enhance the development and quality of ROER
Teacher Education Through Open and Distance Learning
No full textThis item is not available to download but is available from Commonwealth of Learning's Information Resource Centre (IRC) library or to purchase from Commonwealth of Learning (see attached file for details).How can open and distance learning and information and communications technology (ICT) provide us with more - and better - teachers? Open and distance learning is increasingly used in teacher education in developing and developed countries. It has the potential to strengthen and expand the teaching profession of the twenty-first century and to help achieve the target of education for all by 2015. Teacher Education through Open and Distance Learning examines the case for using open and distance learning and ICT to train our educators. Teacher Education through Open and Distance Learning draws on wide-ranging and international experience to summarise the strengths and weaknesses of new approaches to the education of teachers. It offers invaluable guidance to policymakers, planners, headteachers and teacher
