Dear M25ers I’ve moved post slightly out of e-learning, but still gathering info on how many HEIs are using Lynda.com, or had it and decided not to renew. If anyone is able to let me know if it is used at their Institution, and whether for all, or just a selection of Faculties, or if they have stopped using, it would be tremendously helpful to me in my discussions her at Kingston.

Might see you virtually there. Best Leo From: Open Education Special Interest Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Terry Loane Sent: 10 October 2014 10:20 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Webinars on Open Education Following the webinars that took place in June, the ALT Open Education Special Interest Group is promoting three further webinars on Open Education during November and December. The webinars are open to all, and details are shown below. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused by cross-posting. Terry Loane Secretary, ALT Open Education SIG 1. How to write an OER workshop (for staff development) Wednesday 5th November 13.00 - 13.40 This workshop will look at how advocates of Open Education can use and reuse existing OER materials for training sessions cascading the OE message. By exploring the huge variety of materials that exist, this webinar will demonstrate how your workshop can represent the OE agenda itself and act as an example of how reusing materials can be an effective and efficient choice when designing and creating learning activities. Presenters: Alex Fenlon and Ella Mitchell Link to webinar: https://sas.elluminate.com/m.jnlp?sid=7565&password=M.EB5A1870DD4B812AC04FD7BDAD8E0F 2. Title: Creating and using video resources for language teaching. (Open Educational Practice) Tuesday 25 Nov 13.00 - 13.40 The University of Warwick Language Centre and the Centre for Applied Linguistics are partners in an EU project called Video for All. The project’s mission is to support language teachers in all sectors in the exploitation of video for teaching. The Language Centre has been innovating in the use of digital media for some time and is the subject of a Jisc Digital Media case study. Video for All will produce exemplar practices for teachers which are searchable and available as Open Educational Resources. However, challenges are evident. The presenter has recently co-authored a submission to the Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA) for a special issue exploring “Models of Open Education in Higher Education”. This webinar will discuss some of the issues we are dealing with in the hope that the OER sig will be able to contribute to our discussions and offer feedback on our decision making process. Key words: Streaming media; creative commons licensing; repositories; repurposing and remixing; copyright.

Creative Commons - understanding the basics (CC for Dummies) Thursday December 11th 13.00 - 13.40 Creative Commons (CC) licences are a simple way of retaining copyright whilst allowing others to reuse your work. The range of licences lets you define how others can reuse your material. This session will demonstrate how simple it is to use CC licences and what they mean in practice. We will also introduce the UK repository JORUM, demonstrating how to apply CC licences to materials as you deposit.
