Hi all,

I would like to offer a contribution for a webinar re: OER and OEP for languages and the EU Video for All project. I recently submitted a co-authored paper on barriers to openness (re: production/hosting of OER for language learning) with a colleague at Monash University in Australia. The Video for All project is also using one of our Kaltura gallery spaces as all our video practices for language learning are available as OER. Timing would be best later this year (Nov/Dec time if poss).

Thanks for a very interesting meeting it was lovely to meet this group in person.

Best

Teresa

General discussion notes from Debbie's group (Debbie H) – anything here we should discuss further?

 

Define discussion between OER and MOOCs

What do we mean? A lot of work to be done to educate/ inform colleagues Systems and processes for open - Coventry case study?

What to policies look like? Enthusiasts role not enough - can SIG work bottom up?

Meta tagging protocols (for evaluated work) has to be easy to access Disciplinary theme International Impact eg South African colleagues How do we share?

 

Group 1 signposting and advocacy

 

Group 2 Institutional  control of IP, attitudes to copyright - disempowers engagement by individuals, linking to senior teams - policy implications

 

Group 3 webinar / workshop for newbys, point to best of existing guidance and make it OER; idea of case studies of reuse - pull together ALT open repository

 

Group 4 people good at creating but not reuse and repurpose - let the students do it - how do we get academics to OK this?

 

Best regards Debbie

 

 

Flavour of the SIG f2f meeting

For those not able to attend the  F2F SIG meeting at ALT C yesterday , I can report that the opening by Sarah Bridgman had a distinct chocolate biscuit flavour!  The room was full and we had some very lively discussions and as a result, we have several new SIG members.   You are most welcome - do introduce yourselves if you wish to.  

There were plenty of ideas buzzing around and I hope that the note takers will share these in the next day or two and then we have a chance to express our views on the priority topics which we'd like to see the SIIG address in the next year. This will be helpful to the SIG committee who will meet early October to formalise the programme for the year incluidng our contribution to Opne Ed Week 9-13 March  and to OER15 conference in Cardiff in April.   

• So, if you were at the meeting please share the key issues for you.
• If you weren't at the meeting you can still have your say in this group (but sorry, no chocolate biscuit!)

Look forward to hearing your thoughts
