An Introduction to Openness in Online Learning
This document discusses openness in learning and education. It defines key concepts like open learning, open educational resources (OER), MOOCs (massive open online courses), and open access. Open learning aims to remove barriers and provide flexibility for learners. OER are educational materials that can be freely used and shared under open licenses. MOOCs make university-level courses available online to any learner for free. Open access aims to make academic research articles freely available. The document questions how institutions can develop strategies for open education and new models of online learning.

Editor's Notes
- #4 Image: Teaching Open Source Practices, Open Source. Com CC-BY-SA http://www.flickr.com/photos/opensourceway/5535034664/sizes/o/in/photostream/ “Openness” can now be associated with learning materials, platforms and practices Why is it important? Openness tackles the challenge of widening access to information and knowledge.
- #8 Image: JISC [CC-BY-NC-ND] http://www.jisc.ac.uk/events Open Learning: Approach to education that seeks to remove barriers to learning, while aiming to provide students with a reasonable chance of success in an education system centred on their particular needs Gives students flexibility and choice over what, when, where, at what pace, and how they learn
- #9 Success through learner support, contextually appropriate resources and sound pedagogical practices Learners to increasingly determine where, when, what and how they learn, as well as the pace Active engagement leading to independent and critical thinking Commonwealth of Learning notes that open learning gives learners choices about: Medium or media (for example, print, on-line, television, or video); Place of study (at home, in the workplace, or on campus); Pace of study (closely paced or unstructured); Support mechanisms (for example, tutors on demand, audio conferences, or computer-assisted learning); Entry and exit points
- #10 Educational provision includes the development of resources designed for independent and collaborative learning. A logical place to start when considering the resources needed to support the curriculum is to consider what already exists. OER goes beyond just sharing materials. By openly licensing these materials it enables others to remix, repurpose, improve, and redistribute educational materials.
- #11 Open educational resources (including curriculum maps, course materials, textbooks, streaming videos, multimedia applications, podcasts, or any other materials designed for use in teaching and learning) that are openly available for use by educators and students, without the need to pay royalties or license fees. OER can exist as smaller, stand-alone resources (reusable learning objects) that can be mixed and combined to form larger pieces of content or as larger course modules or full courses. OER can also include simulations, virtual laboratories, collections, journals, and tools. These materials are considered open if they are released under an open license such as a Creative Commons license.
