A Message from the Executive Director Dear Friends and Colleagues, With a new year around the corner, this is the time of year when people look back on accomplishments of the current year and look forward to what’s coming in the next year. In that spirit, we bring you this final newsletter of 2010. In this newsletter, we’re looking back on some recent events and conferences, and looking forward to what’s coming in the first part of the new year. You’ll get an overview of the Open Ed conference, Drumbeat Festival, UNESCO OER meetings, and the Asia OCW Conference. We’ll also give you a preview of the OCW Consortium Global Conference: Celebrating 10 years of OpenCourseWare and our new awards program for excellence in OCW. For the Consortium, this year has been a time of coming together and moving forward. We brought together an international, globally
distributed staff who can interact with members around the world in real time. Thanks to useful input from many of you, we launched a new website with new ways to browse courses and discover member profiles. We were pleased to see many of you in Hanoi in May for our conference on Educational Policy and OpenCourseWare. This same theme was continued in a lively webinar and discussion with a state senator from Washington who is advocating for OER policy (if you missed this webinar, you can find the video on our blog and Vimeo). For the past few months, we’ve been focusing efforts on usability, access and discoverability. Along with the OER Foundation and Creative Commons, we’re developing support resources for open content in education (http://wikieducator.org/ Open_Content_Licensing/Home). With many other partners, we’re looking pathways to greater discoverability of OCW (you can follow some of these discussions in our Technology Committee). Or join
one of the communities of interest to contribute ideas and move forward on issues of common interest (http:// communities.ocwconsortium.org). In 2011, we will continue to work on issues of importance to the OCW Community. We will be asking for new Committee members in the first part of the year, so think about issues of importance to you, and join us to make progress. Elections for the Board of Directors will be coming soon. This year we’ll have space on our website for candidate profiles – watch the newsletter for more information. Igor and Marcela, our membership services staff, will be in touch with members to answer any questions and get your feedback. We’d like to hear from anyone in the community with ideas and suggestions. Contact us anytime at feedback@ocwconsortium.org. With best wishes for a happy 2011,
Open Ed 2010 OER: Impact and Sustainability The year 2010 saw a great leap forward in OER, with comprehensive advances in different parts of the globe. No longer are initiatives limited to individuals or isolated institutions. Governments are now involved, adopting policies that support OER, and more private sector companies are creating open content. This year saw greater potential for increased collaboration both within and among different sectors, organizations, and individuals. Activists are working for open licensing, programmers are developing open source software, and many others are communicating—all towards the goal of improving education. As if to demonstrate the breadth of this phenomenon, a series of conferences and events were held in November. This issue of the newsletter covers several of the important events and discussions that happened in the later part of the year.
Open Ed 2010 The seventh annual Open Ed Conference was held in November 24 in Barcelona. This first Open Ed conference to be held outside of North America was co-hosted by the Brigham Young University, Open Universiteit Nederland (OUNL) , and the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). The conference theme was ―OER: Impact and Sustainability,‖ and presenters addressed the theme in a variety of ways. Wim Westera of Celstec, OUNL, addressed the issue of academic sustainability for OER in his keynote. He began with a question: how can we take OER into the realm of tacit knowledge? Wim believes that
Tvol OpenEd 2010 in Barcelona
content is only half the story, that we need to expand OER to include experiential learning and tacit knowledge in order to achieve greater impact and thus academic sustainability. As for the cost of OER, it has to be free. We should look into cross-funding and organize tantalizing events around OER. For cross-funding, he provided the examples of freemium models, subsidies, the rock concert model, the negative price model, and other, non-monetary incentives. An historical perspective was presented by keynote speaker Gajaraj Dhanarajan, former president and CEO of Commonwealth of Learning and Professor Emeritus of Wawasan Open University Malaysia. Giving a broad overview of the situations in Asian countries, he reminded us that the discussion of sustainability within the OER community right now is something the open and distance learning community experienced thirty years ago when it was still very new. Given this similarity, Gajaraj sees a great leadership role for open and distance learning institutions in the OER movement, and he is advocating the opening of learning objects as OER. OER practitioners from around the world came to give interesting presentations in each of the three
conference tracks. Many of these presentations showed that OER projects were no longer a matter of efforts at one particular educational institution; others showed how OER is becoming embedded in practices of teaching and learning. OER projects are moving forward, not just providing content but working together with libraries, governments, teachers and various other groups in order to promote better use, wider use, and maximum impact. Still other presentations addressed the ways in which OER impacts teaching practice when combined with social networks, journalism, and educational use of mobile devices. OpenEd was an opportunity to learn about new projects and to catch up with old friends in OER. Videos will be available online soon for those who did not make it to Barcelona. UNESCO OER Chair Announced Another exciting event at Open Ed was the announcement of the new UNESCO chair for OER. Rory McGreal of Athabasca University has been named the new UNESCO OER chair. This position was created in order to continue Susan D’Antoni’s success as the former chair in creating and cultivating the OER community around the world. Rory’s role is to advance OER on three levels: at his own institution, throughout Canada and worldwide. OpenEd also created the opportunity for many of us to network and to discuss issues of common concern. So, for example, a session was held for discussion of accessibility in OER, making strides toward even greater openness to an even broader audience, regardless of physical or bandwidth challenges.
2 OpenCourseWare Consortium December 2010
Drumbeat Learning, Freedom and the Web Festival Mozilla Foundation’s aim to go beyond Firefox to open up the web comes in the form of an “awesome” Festival. The first Drumbeat Festival attracted educators, librarians, learners and techies from all over the world to create a massive dialogue for education on the web. Drumbeat Learning, Freedom and the Web Festival took place in Barcelona on November 3-5. The first Drumbeat Festival strove to open doors to activities that promote the open web. Celebrating its theme of education, the festival gathered together leaders in education, technology and policy to seek collaboration opportunities. Opening events were held in conjunction with Open Ed 2010. It was a very particular kind of event in which ―tents‖ were provided to ―space wranglers‖ from diverse backgrounds. Some of the tents included the ―Peer Learning Lighthouse‖ hosted by P2PU and Creative Commons, the ―Video Lab‖ with the Open Video Alliance, and ―Storming the Academy‖ by HASTAC. The OCW Consortium hosted the ―Open Content Studio‖ with Connexions and Flat World Knowledge to showcase how open educational resources were opening doors to a different teaching and learning experience. Our goal was to also have conversation with people who are users and creators of OCW and with people who are interested in building OCW-related applications so that we can open doors to further collaboration. Since discoverability is of great importance to the community at the moment, our thought was to discuss ways we can increase discoverability of OCW material and see whether we could start working on a global course catalog – a catalog that you could browse through as you would at a library. Pierre Far, OCWC Technology Committee chair, led discussions on discoverability, and we were able to make a start at building such a global course catalog. We soon hope to be able to open the beta version to members of the
collaborative authoring process to printing of the book.
community for contributions and improvements. It was very exciting to see how many OER projects are in progress. Many projects represented at the festival provide technology for open content. Universal Subtitles, for example, is an easy to use subtitle system that lets you put translation subtitles into videos. Individual developers participated in the festival as well. We met Dr, Nagarjuna from India, for example. He is developing a platform for mapping dependency relations among learning objects. This type of platform will allow for users of OCW material to easily find other relevant learning material. More collaboration with the Consortium is expected to arise out of this event. Keep your eyes on the blog and the communities of interest for updates. Other activities at the festival focused on the way open textbooks are changing teaching practices. Connexions and Flat World Knowledge were both soliciting feedback on their platforms from anyone walking into the tent. We had hoped to create an open textbook on site so that we could get it printed in Adam Hyde’s book mobile. Adam, from FLOSS manuals, had driven the book mobile to Barcelona in order to showcase their process from
OpenCourseWare Consortium December 2010
As it turned out, however, we spent so much of the time talking with fascinating people that we had no time left to concentrate on creating a textbook. ―What’s next for OCW?‖was a conversation we had with some of these people, encountering some intriguing ideas in the process. Discussions of what should happen beyond simple delivery of OCW content focused on how we communicate with users. Other topics included accreditation around OCW content, the development of a Red Hat model for OCW, creative ways for encouraging informal learning, and who should bear the cost for production. The core ideas behind the internet have given many people hope of democratizing both knowledge and access to that knowledge. Although some believe that the digital divide has only worsened the problem, many people are still working toward keeping the web open so that more people can reap the benefits of the web: openness and sharing. People are promoting the openness of digital creativity, web technology, OER, and much more. In the years to come, the Drumbeat Festival will choose topics of interest to such a community. This year’s topic was education, and next year’s topic is likely to be media and journalism. Regardless of the main topic, however, the event will continue to bring together many people who are working with the goal of keeping the web open. More information on the Festival can be retrieved here. A Festival book based on interviews and activity descriptions will later be.

More Discussions on Policy: UNESCO IITE 2010 & OER Policy Forum UNESCO IITE 2010 The UNESCO IITE 2010 meeting was held on 15th and 16th of November in St. Petersburg, Russian Federation. The theme of the conference was ICTs in Teacher Education: Policy, OER, and Partnership. The first day’s focus was the impact of ICTs on teacher training practices. The second day was divided into three working sessions. One of those sessions was titled ―From Open Educational Resources to Open Educational Practices.‖ It included presentations by delegates from Japan, Canada, the Russian Federation, the U.K., Lithuania, the Republic of Belarus, Mongolia, the Republic of Uzbekistan, Ukraine, and the Republic of Kazakhstan, all reporting on open educational practices in their respective countries. There were also presentations from UNESCO and the OpenCourseWare Consortium. Karen Cropper, from Open University, U.K. gave a short workshop on open licensing. Reports on the status of OER projects in members of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) were especially interesting, for most of these projects were state initiatives. The default position in these countries is to consider publicly funded projects the property of the public. Even so, presenters reported that using an open license has been a real challenge. Primary reasons for this include the culture’s failure to accept openness itself, both in academe and in many other parts of the society. Most of these projects have their own terms for licenses that allow for access by anyone but do not include the right to make changes to the content or to redistribute it. One objective of this
institutions. As a result, high quality curricula can be adapted by many at low cost and shared back with the global community. A journalism curriculum was chosen as a pilot case, and, so far, 57 institutions have adopted that curriculum for use and repurposing.

session was to start a conversation among participants, especially among those from CIS countries who are seeking to build a strong OER program. Meena Hwang of the OpenCourseWare Consortium presented regarding the Impact of OCW on Teaching Practices, basing her presentation on OCWC members’ experiences. She reported on OCW’s promotion of transparency in teaching practices and collaboration among students and institutions. Examples taken from activities of member institutions included results from surveys of MIT faculty and students, the dScribe program at Open.Michigan, collaborative curriculum building at TU Delft and ITB Bandung, the open textbook project at the University of Michigan, and the OER Health program. The Webcast program at U.C. Berkeley was also discussed as a way to give ―more‖ to the students. Abel Caine reported on the new OER platform in development by UNESCO. Now under development, UNESCO’s platform will allow institutions to take UNESCO curricula and make derivatives that fit the context and language of specific
OpenCourseWare Consortium December 2010
Another workshop held by UNESCO recently was the ―OER and Policy Forum,‖ the closing meeting for an online discussion that took place under the title ―Taking Open Educational Resources Beyond the OER community.‖ The online discussions were co-hosted by UNESCO and the Commonwealth of Learning. The project focused especially on Africa, Asia and the Pacific where language and technology barriers still make it a difficult environment for OER. There were four capacity building workshops held in South Africa, Namibia, Mali and India. There were also 352 participants from around the world for the online discussions. In order to conclude the discussions, a meeting was held on the first of December in UNESCO’s Paris office with the goal of drafting a policy recommendation for governments interested in utilizing OER to improve education. There were presentations on successes, open licenses, and challenges of OER. Discussions were focused on increasing impact of OER through increasing accessibility, teacher training, and collaboration. Papers presented at the December meeting can be downloaded here.

The 2010 Asia Regional OCW & Open Education Conference The 2010 Asia Regional OpenCourseWare and OpenEducation Conference was held from November 1st-2nd, 2010 in NTUH International Convention Center, Taipei, Taiwan. The Conference was co-hosted by the National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan OpenCourseWare Consortium and National Science Council.
The 2010 Asia Regional OCW and OpenEducation Conference attracted more than 150 delegates to Taipei from several Asian countries, including Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and China, and guests from as far away as the United States. At this 2-day event, university and college practitioners, government officials and representatives from various industries, plus NGOs and open education activists, alike presented, shared and discussed their ideas regarding current and future developments in OpenCourseWare and open education. The event was opened by Chung-Yu Wu, a council chairman of Taiwan OpenCourseWare Consortium and the President of National Chiao Tung University. The conference presented participants with four specialized sessions. Main themes included national models in opencourseware, institutional initiatives, tool/environment/strategy developments and case research/ studies/reports. As Chair of MIT’s OCW Faculty Advisory Committee, and as a member of the Original MIT Team that proposed the OCW itself, Shigeru Miyagawa was instrumental in bringing OCW to Asia. Miyagawa’s keynote speech on day one of the conference was titled “Ten Years of OpenCourseWare: Surprises and More Surprises.” He highlighted some important benefits of OCW to users worldwide, to MIT’s prospective and current students, and to MIT’s Faculty. Stating that ―MIT’s story is everyone’s story,‖ Prof. Miyagawa urged even wider participation in the OCW and Open Education movements. At the same
time, he highlighted some important OpenCourseWare achievements in the Asia region. Youngsup Kim, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at Hangdong Global University and a Board Member of the OCW Consortium was joined at the podium by Igor Lesko, Membership Services Coordinator at the OCW Consortium. The two delivered a keynote speech to open day two of the conference, titled ―Looking Forward to the Future of OCW.‖ Highlighting important past and recent accomplishments in the OpencourseWare movement worldwide, they also proposed new avenues for development and growth in OCW. Other presentations included reports from Japan and China. Yoshimi Fukuhara, Secretary General of the J -OCW and another Board Member of the OCW Consortium, informed participants about the current status of Japan’s OCW. He presented results of an annual opinion poll regarding OCW in Japan. Henry Wang from the China National Curriculum Resources Center (CNCRC) reported on China’s efforts to develop quality courses through the China Quality OpenCourseWare (CQOCW) national project, covering core courses in each subject. To date, CQOCW has published around 19,000 courses and more than 1 million digital teaching resources. CNCRC is responsible for promoting and hosting the CQOCW site. Veronica Wu from Apple Asia gave a fascinating account of the potential for development in mobile learning. According to Dr. Wu, ―the future is
OpenCourseWare Consortium December 2010
very much in the mobile world.‖ iTunesU houses more than 350,000 audio and video files with more than 300,000,000 downloads since May 2007. There is a growing interest from universities worldwide in working with Apple to develop mobile applications for the delivery of educational content. For one such example, please visit: m.mit.edu. To date, Apple has rolled out mobility solutions for over 600 higher education institutions worldwide. National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) has been at the forefront of OCW movements in Taiwan, with the first OCW site officially launched in 2007. In the near future, NCTU will launch a project promoting the adoption of common metadata standards among participating OCW institutions in Taiwan. Furthermore, a private company in Taiwan recently approached NCTU, requesting permission to use their OCW materials for retraining employees. The use of OCW materials for just-intime training or retraining of a workforce is an excellent example of future developments of OCW’s impact. Doo Bong Han from Korea University reported on the current status of the OCW movement in Korea. Highlighting the positive impact of OCW on various stakeholders, Dr. Han emphasized the positive role of regional associations and collaborations as a means towards promoting international cooperation. Many participants commented on the excellent organization of the conference. For those unable to make it to Taipei, presentations can be accessed via at www.tocwc.org. tw/2010aocw.php

Research for Higher Education in South Africa Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and the OpenCourseWare Consortium Join Forces to Address Education Inequalities in South Africa.
Eight Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in South Africa and the OpenCourseWare Consortium have recently initiated a collaborative research project, answering a call issued by the National Research Foundation for education research in South Africa. This 3-year research project, financially supported through a grant from the National Research Foundation, will commence in January 2011. Participants include the University of the Western Cape, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, the University of Cape Town, the University of Stellenbosch, the University of Fort Hare, the University of Witswatersrand, the University of Pretoria and Rhodes University. Dr. Vivienne Bozalek, Principal Investigator for the project, has said that this study will investigate ways of realizing qualitative outcomes in education through the use of emerging technologies to transform teaching and learning interactions and paradigms across differently positioned higher education institutions in South Africa. The intent of the project is to develop better educational models for redressing inequalities in South Africa. The National Plan on Higher Education notes that information and communications technologies (ICTs) have brought far-reaching changes to the higher education landscape in the twenty-first century. The abundance of resources and the potential for relationships between students and educators across geographical locations made possible by the Internet may require us to revisit our roles as faculty. Technology is also enabling just-in-time, lifelong and flexible, student-centered learning. In the United States, for example, mobile technology, open educational resources and electronic books, are three of the emerging technologies
which the 2010 Horizon report indicates will have considerable potential for enhancing teaching, learning and creative inquiry. The potential for technologies such as mobile phones, podcasts, personal learning environments, electronic books and open educational resources (OERs) to enhance teaching and learning in the South African context has yet to be thoroughly researched. Yet the EEducation policy of the South African government makes it clear that all higher educators and learners should be able to participate in the global community by using ICTs. Meanwhile, the South African higher education landscape is still affected by the historical inequities aggravated by past policies. Many students and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), particularly the Historically Disadvantaged Institutions (HDIs) are affected by scarce resources and poverty. Faculty also tend to fall back in their teaching on outmoded transmission practices which are out of sync with the informal learning experiences of students. This study will have a particular focus on emerging technologies which can be used for transforming teaching and learning interactions and paradigms within diverse Higher Education contexts, including resource-scarce situations. There are four research objectives: 1) to investigate innovative pedagogical practices using emerging technologies for transforming teaching and learning across South African HEIs, 2) to conduct case studies of innovative teaching and learning interactions which use emerging technologies across a sample of eight South African HEIs, 3) to investigate the conscious and unconscious
OpenCourseWare Consortium December 2010
theoretical assumptions which underpin teaching and learning interactions in the selected sample of SA HEIs and 4) to identify theoretical and practice models which could transform teaching and learning interactions across the HEIs and contribute towards qualitative outcomes. The context for this study is the policy drive since 1994 to transform South African Higher Education. This has led to a focus on the promotion of inclusivity in an attempt to redress apartheid legacies such as the skewed distribution of resources and divisions on the basis of race in the academic sector. Some of the ongoing concerns about the effectiveness and outcomes of university teaching and learning regard broadening access to higher education. Higher education in South Africa thus currently faces numerous systemic and human challenges that constrain its potential for achieving qualitative outcomes. Output from this project will contribute towards the creation of innovative pedagogical models which use emerging technologies to transform teaching and learning in South African Higher Education. The project thus intends to contribute significantly towards intellectual engagement by providing models for qualitative educational outcomes based on authentic best practices drawn directly from the South African context. The project will also create open educational resources (OERs) in the process of its research. The project is expected to not only will contribute a model that has potential to transform the higher education landscape but also will transform participating institutions.

Communities of Interest: Pedagogy The Community of Interest on Pedagogy is making strides in their discussions, both on and off-line. We invite you to take a look at the online discussions at http://communities.ocwconsortium.org/groups/pedagogy-and-ocw/ . As it grows, the OCWC is creating a wealth of up-to-date, relevant and wellpresented course materials for the world. Just as important as having first class content, is designing learning activities to optimize learners' potential to engage that content. This is particularly important since so many OCW users are self-learners who need guidance as to how best use the content available to them. Thus a special Community of Interest has been created to reflect on the pedagogy of OCW. Currently the group has 10 members with Adrian Lee as their facilitator. The Community welcomes any others who would like to join our deliberations. The short-term goal for the group is to construct, as part of the OCWC online Toolkit, an easily used resource on pedagogy for teachers and self-learners intending to use OCW content, guiding them in devising activities that are most likely to enhance their own or their students' learning. There will be an introduction on the pedagogy of OCW and links to key resources. An example of one such resource is at http://www.guidelinesonlearning.com/. Adrian Lee leads the group discussions bot on and offline, so if you are interested in joining the group, please contact adrianlee2@mac.com.
