MOOC
Use of Open Educational Resources
in the classroom
5th September to 5th October, 2014
Ramesh C Sharma

Beginning…
The term was first used at a
UNESCO conference in 2002,
although OERs were being
produced and used before
that time. For instance, the
MIT OpenCourseWare project,
which began in 2001, was one
of the first major initiatives of
the OER movement.

Open Educational Resources (OER) are
‘materials offered freely and openly to use
and adapt for teaching, learning,
development and research’.

http://www.col.org/resources/crsMaterials/Pages/OCW-OER.aspx

Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and
learning materials that are freely available online
for everyone to use, whether you are an instructor,
student or self-learner. Examples of OER include:
full courses, course modules, syllabi, lectures,
homework assignments, quizzes, lab and classroom
activities, pedagogical materials, games,
simulations, and many more resources contained in
digital media collections from around the world.

The document describes a case study of the Open University of Sri Lanka's efforts to integrate open educational resources into one of its teacher education courses. Specifically, it focuses on the Master of Arts in Teacher Education program and its course "Teacher Educator as an Educational Technologist". The course is being revised to incorporate more open and flexible learning opportunities using ICT and OER. The revision aims to provide more effective learning experiences for students within the program's scenario-based learning approach. The capacity of academic staff is also being developed to identify, evaluate, develop, adapt and integrate OER to improve teacher education courses. The revised course is expected to pilot in late 2013.

Open educational resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that are freely available online for anyone to use, adapt and share. OER include full courses, textbooks, modules, videos and other materials. There are several advantages to using OER, such as reducing costs for students, increasing accessibility of educational resources worldwide, and allowing for customization and incorporation of updated content. However, some disadvantages include the effort required to evaluate and validate large volumes of OER materials, lack of funds to support ongoing updates and maintenance, and potential issues with attribution, copyright and access to technology for disadvantaged students.

The Non-Disposable Assignment: Enhancing Personalised Learning - Session 2Michael Paskevicius

Slides from our second meeting of three from a course redesign series on creating non-disposable assignments. As advertised: Do you want to offer students an opportunity to bring their passions, personal interests, and individual strengths into their coursework? How can we design assessment which students feel connected to, value, and are proud to share with their peers? Are you interested in learning how to create a non-disposable assignment for your students? This 3-part assignment redesign workshop will take you through the steps to create a non-disposable assignment from beginning to end. Disposable Assignments: "are assignments that students complain about doing and faculty complain about grading. They’re assignments that add no value to the world – after a student spends three hours creating it, a teacher spends 30 minutes grading it, and then the student throws it away” (Wiley, 2013). This series is about creating a non-disposable assignment. The three sessions will blend a combination of some pre-reading, discussion, and in session time to flesh out the details of a rich assignment that allows students to co-create knowledge, be creative and engage in a personalised learning experience. We’ll focus on crafting projects which meet your existing or redesigned course learning outcomes, explore tools for students to demonstrate their learning, and identify strategies for conducting peer-review. In the end you’ll end up with plan for implementing your redesigned assignment in Spring 2018 or Fall 2018. Throughout the three-part workshop we will also be collectively exposing our own learnings to others in the group through a live reflection and blogging site to support our work. We hope faculty can attend all three parts as they are planned with the intent you are coming for the whole series.

The Story of OERsRamesh C. Sharma

Educational Technology Assignmentshijini1995

Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that reside in the public domain or are released with an open license that allows for free use, adaptation, and distribution. OER can include textbooks, videos, tests, software, and other materials used to support education. They are different from open learning in that OER focus primarily on content while open learning includes content and services. Major OER initiatives include SkillsCommons, OpenStax CNX, OER Africa, WikiEducator, and OpenCourseWare which provide open educational content and resources that can be reused and adapted for teaching and learning.

Trends and issues in open educational resources and massive open online coursesAva Chen

The Internet revolution has facilitated the concept of openness now more than ever. A number of current technologies support the paradigm of modern education in terms of creation, communication, and collaboration. Various open educational learning resources, tools, and pedagogical approaches are used in teaching and learning. Open educational resources (OERs) is one of examples that represent a global phenomenon in an innovation approach that promote unrestricted access as a possible solution for bridging the knowledge divide in higher education. OERs open up opportunities to create, share, and facilitate learning and ethical practice by creating, using, and managing by offering a wider array of educational resources among a greater diversity of global learners. Its trends and movements have become more prominent as not only a phenomenon but as a way of improving the quality of education. OERs alone are not sustainable on their own dimension. It has to combine concepts from different inter-disciplinary areas such as education for sustainable development and business perspectives. Therefore, this seminar focuses on the discussion of current trends, issues, and example of current global practices of OERs and MOOCs.

OER: Disruptive Innovative Solution to the Challenges of EducationRamesh C. Sharma

The education sector globally is facing a lot of challenges: the challenge of numbers, of relevance, of quality, of access, of costs and of speed. The solution to these multiple challenges probably lies in a number of disruptive innovative solutions. These include inculcating self-learning (building on meta-cognition), measuring learning, collaborative and co-operative learning, personalisation of learning and learning analytics. However, in addition to new systems or technologies, we need a fundamental change of perspective. A very promising technological and pedagogical model that has received a lot of attention during the last few years and adoption by Stanford, Harvard, Duke and almost 100 of the world's top ranking Universities to teach millions of learners is that of the MOOC. The Open Educational Resources have become an important part of educational delivery. The establishment of OER University is a milestone in that direction. There are hundreds of OER repositories to allow teachers and students to use, and adopt content. Keeping in view the significance of OERs, we organized The OER MOOC with the purpose to enhance knowledge about OERs and to equip for effective use and adopt OERs in ones programs as well as to be able to create your own OERs and contribute to the pool of OER resources. We further wanted to explore the potential of MOOCs to create a model of simultaneously teaching on-site and off-site learners, using synchronous and a-synchronous teacher learner interactions to deliver high quality learning to large numbers, maybe evolve a model for a classroom of 10,000 learners. In this study, we shall elaborate on our methodology, outcomes and the impact factors The OER MOOC had on the learners.

20210907-ISAGA-Gamified Framework for Educational Simulations in STEM CoursesRamesh C. Sharma

http://www.isaga2021.com/ THEME: ‘Gaming, Simulation and Innovations: Challenges and Opportunities’. ISAGA2021, the annual international conference of ISAGA, was organised by Shri Vaishnav Vidyapeeth Vishwavidyalaya at its campus in Indore, INDIA on September 6th to 10th, 2021. Across half a century, ISAGA’s saga has been replete with GS events, exchanges of knowledge and experiences in GS, and building bonds between its members on a variety of GS themes such as design, learning, facilitation, and application. ISAGA2021 will receive and discuss papers, posters and workshops in GS with its theme laying special emphasis on three global trends that are characteristic of a rapidly evolving society. It will focus on innovation to develop new processes to solve recurrent nagging problems via GS. It will address social challenges such as the sustainable development goals (SDG) identified by the UNDP. It will probe and evaluate opportunities in learning for a better world. This event is the first ISAGA international conference in India. In ISAGA2021, you may expect a diverse learning experience from the global GS community. The field of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) courses poses unique pedagogical challenges to the teachers. It requires pedagogical approaches like constructivism and skills like problem solving in the part of students. Effective simulations can maximise the impact of learning outcomes with the help of parameters modelling and computer-based dynamic visualizations. One of the good examples is PhET simulations. There are various strategies for enhancing the quality of educational simulations, like constructivist simulations, exploration-based activities, motivation and interactive assignments for student engagement. Use of game design elements in non-game context is another strategy to make learning a joyful activity. Khan Academy employs interesting gamification strategies using learning resources, learning progress tracking, awards, and badges etc. Games have certain elements: aesthetics, mechanics, story, feedback and technology. This presentation will focus on game design elements for educational simulations and would discuss features of some popular educational gamified simulations for STEM fields.

20210807 Pandemic Diaries: Ripples in EducationRamesh C. Sharma

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been more than a crisis; it has been a global wake-up call to change our paradigms and the way we perceive the world. Not surprisingly, the pandemic has altered the way we interpret the normal as well as the way we live. Normal, by its nature, is a relative term and, presently, we have different derivations of it: Normal, new normal, and next normal. Nevertheless, it is important to always remember that one’s new normal can be someone else's normal, or one’s normal could have hitherto been a new normal for someone else. Likewise, normal and new normal for some can be the next normal for others. These derivations of normal suggest that we are experiencing an unprecedented time, one marked by major shifts in the way we understand and interpret different areas of life, not least of all education, which has and will continue to undergo changes, particularly in the way we teach and learn.

Cooperative Learning PedagogyRamesh C. Sharma

Its 4 WEEK MOOC on Cooperative Learning Pedagogy which is developed under online mentoring program of UNESCO Chair on Open Technologies for Open Educational Resources and Open Learning. Its free of Cost Course. It aims at promoting the use of cooperative learning for quality education at school, college & university level. As we know that Cooperative learning (CL) has been described as one of the most widely investigated educational approaches (Slavin, 1996). In Modern day teaching learning process, the role of a teacher needs to be as a facilitator of children’s learning. Cooperative learning strategies are also providing structure in which students have an opportunity to raise logical questions, discuss the content with his peer group, and imitate higher order thinking, critical evaluation of idea, etc. in team work. This project would focus on introduction of cooperative learning as learner centered pedagogy as new approach to quality education. Theoretical concept of cooperative learning, related terms and strategies will be discussed with the learners. Out of various strategies of cooperative learning, two main strategies Jigsaw and STAD (which are used across the world in different subjects) will be discussed with learners along with its various steps of implementation. Advantages of both strategies will also be shared with the learners. After going through the course learners will be able to develop and execute plan for use of these strategies in their classroom. Learned material can be integrated in teaching-learning process and make learning more practical and enjoyable.
