Editor's Notes
- #2 Welcome to our presentation How to “Find, Use, Remix, and Create Open Learning Materials.”
- #4 Here’s a quick look at some of the things my colleague and I are going to cover today. We’re going to start out by defining OER and showing you some examples. Then we’re going to talk about the Open.Michigan initiative, which supports the production and publication of OER on our campus. Then we’re going to switch to a more demonstration mode so you can get some hands on experience finding, using, and creating your own OER. learn what steps are involved in creating and sharing your own educational materials as OER. So that’s our general plan for today.
- #5 So, let’s start out with a definition. OER are Open Educational Resources, also known as “Openly Licensed Educational Materials”
- #6 You’ll be hearing the term “openly licensed” a lot in this presentation
- #7 as in the OER definition from wikipedia.
- #8 The key point here is that OER goes beyond just sharing materials. By openly licensing these materials it enables others to remix, repurpose, improve, and redistribute educational materials.
- #10 It is sometimes easiest to understand OER by comparing it to Open Course Ware.
- #11 Are you familiar with MIT Open Course Ware? Launched in 2001. MIT OCW is a large-scale, Web-based publication of MIT’s educational materials representing 33 academic disciplines and all five of MIT’s schools. Their collection now includes 1950 published courses.
- #12 So, OCW is generally packaged and presented as a course. OER can be a course, or can also be just a presentation or a paper or a bibliography or a website or an image collection. OER is any resource that is related to learning and has been openly licensed for others to share.
- #13 Another way to look at how the two relate is to think of OCW as a subset of OER Again, what that means is OER can include complete courses (including Open Course Ware) or it can be individual educational resources or content -- such as images, data, learning modules, or even software
- #15 OK, so what are some of the benefits of OER?
- #21 Launched in 2005, Open.Michigan started as a result of a collaboration between a few faculty, a few administrators, and a few students. After MIT received a round of funding from the Hewlett and Mellon foundations to launch their OpenCourseWare (OCW) initiative, collaborators at U-M (faculty, admins) started talking about how to do open courseware here. Some wanted to use the MIT model and get a bunch of funding, others were left wondering if there might be a completely different model, given the size of the curriculum and the associated cost. School of Information Associate Professor Joseph Hardin and worked with a number of graduate students to explore different models for clearing and publishing course materials.
- #22 The Open.Michigan website is the front door to U-M’s Open.Michigan initiative and provides information about a wide variety of open activities at U-M and beyond. Web address: http://open.umich.edu When you click on “Find”…
- #23 You’ll come to our Educational Resources page, which is the front door for the OER component of the Open.Michigan initiative. (https://open.umich.edu/education/ ) If you look in the left column, you’ll see all the departments that currently publish content on Open.Michigan Engineering LSA Public Policy Dentistry Education Information Medicine Nursing Public Health Architecture Social Work U-M Flint
- #24 Basically anything created by faculty, staff, or students can become OER.
- #25 OERs can be a complete course… Professor Paul Conway won a 2011 Provost’s Teaching Innovation Prize for SI 410 Ethics and Information Technology. SI 410 is one of 5 courses belonging to Prof. Conway that we have publishing on Open.Michigan, with 2 more coming. Prof. Conway wants all his courses published on Open.Michigan by June 1 as part of his tenure review packet.
- #26 Or just a lecture… like today’s presentation, which we’ll post on Slideshare
- #27 Or a video Last summer we interviewed Paul Courant Dean of Libraries at U-M about the benefits of open. We’ll play that video for you now, which also appears on our website. Point out the high number of views on the microbiology animations from Cary Engleberg
- #28 or a website. As I mentioned the example of a faculty member publishing his courses as OER as part of his tenure review, we are also approached by retiring faculty who want to publish their legacy materials as OER (such as this example from Prof. Lesley Rex in the English department).
- #29 or an image collection
- #30 or an instructional module (Note that MedEdPortal allows CC licenses to be added to their submissions, these licenses enable us to pull content from MedEdPortal and publish it in our collection.)
- #31 or even a textbook Example #1 Chemical Engineering Open wiki Textbook by Peter Woolf This project is a collaboration between the faculty and students of the University of Michigan chemical engineering department. It is a student-contributed open-source text covering the materials used at Michigan in a senior level course. The goal of this project is to provide the greater chemical engineering community with a useful, relevant, high quality, and free resource describing chemical process control and modeling. Initial construction of this resource began in Fall 2006. Example #2 High Performance Computing Open Textbook by Charles Severance High Performance Computing, originally published by O’Reilly–but out of print since 2003, has been republished on Connexions. Book author Charles Severance, with his editor Mike Loukides, worked with O’Reilly to release the book under a CC-BY license, then coordinated with the Connexions staff to republish it. The book is now freely available on the web and in PDF. Printed copies are available on-demand for the cost of printing and shipping. The CC-BY license also makes it possible for the entire contents of the book to be remixed and republished by anyone. (Note that Merlot allows CC licenses to be added to their submissions, these licenses enable us to pull content from Merlot and publish it in our collection.)
- #32 A student peer-reviewed scholarly journal like this example from the School of Social Work. A student handbook for traveling and doing research abroad, created with the support of the Center for Global Health, which is coupled with an interactive Google site that features discussion groups, an events calendar, and other resources.
- #33 Or a blog posting.
- #34 We monitor feedback from our users.
- #35 We also use Google Analytics to track usage statistics.
- #37 Selecting a license and displaying it on your work is the first step in creating OER.
- #40 When creating new learning materials… Start now by making a small change in how you create your own content.

- #55 Welcome to our presentation How to “Find, Use, Remix, and Create Open Learning Materials.”
- #57 You can find many collections of open content online ready for reuse, including images, artwork, audio, video, and course materials (including complete courses). Our wiki has a collection of links to help you get started.
