2 Office of Enabling Technologies (part of Medical School Information Services) The Office of Enabling Technologies aims to strategically enhance learning experiences at individual, team, institutional, and international levels through novel uses of information services. By leveraging a diverse toolset of technologies, design and research principles, and interdisciplinary partnerships, we empower our community lead in the rapidly changing healthcare environment. 2

4 Open.Michigan Initiative Open.Michigan enables University of Michigan faculty, students, staff and others to share their educational resources and research with the world. Our two primary goals: to sustain a thriving culture of sharing knowledge at U-M; and to provide comprehensive public access to all of U-M’s scholarly output. 4

13 Captioning and Translation: Context Problem: Most of the Open.Michigan and African Health OER Network materials are in English only. Goal: Make our materials available to a wider audience of learners around the world. 13

14 Captioning and Translation: Considerations Consent for and copyright of content Translations are derivative works and require permission from the copyright owner. Use existing openly licensed works. Professional translators are expensive Crowdsource, partner, short videos Tools to manage volunteers/languages GoogleForm, Amara.org, YouTube 14

15 Captioning and Translation: Lessons 1.Provide captions in source language 2.If instructional, review for quality by subject matter experts 3.Design workflows to accommodate volunteers with varying levels of time commitment, windows of available, levels of subject knowledge and language fluency. 15

16 Captioning and Translation: Lessons 4.Recruit volunteers with the necessary language and subject matter expertise using formal and informal social networks 5.Develop a lexicon of core technical terms for the given subject 6.Use software to manage parallel translations and versioning 16

17 Captioning and Translation: Lessons 7.Arrange proofreading 8.Review formatting of translations for consistency of style 9.Recognize or reward the contributions of volunteers 10.Promote the results (more volunteers, more learners) 17

23 23 African Health OER Network: Online Distribution Channels

24 High technology cost Limited technology availability (equipment, understaffed dept.) Unpredictable infrastructure noii’s, flickrflickr lydia_shiningbrightly, flickrflickr Content Distribution: Common Challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa

25 provide a local wireless network … provide content via web browser … provide content via file or app server … do this with or without the Internet … do it with or without an electrical outlet … do all of this for <=$200 … Offline & Semi-Connected Distribution: Goals 25

26 Raspberry Pi and TPLink (configured for Library Box) are both solutions for providing digital content to laptops, smartphone, and tablets with wireless network capability in areas with unreliable electricity, no or inadequate Internet service, and limited physical or human infrastructure for technology. Connect the USB storage device and the content is available to users in range of the wireless “neighborhood”. Just plug it in to activate. Unplug it when done. Raspberry Pi Model B 26 Offline & Semi-Connected Distribution: Devices

27 Library Box (http://librarybox.us) similarities with Raspberry Pi:http://librarybox.us provide digital content over local wireless network capability in areas Can connect to rechargable battery pack for backup power source Connect the USB storage device and the content is available to users in range of the wireless “neighborhood” Differences: PirateBox allows local peer to peer file sharing (read and write). Library Box is read only for users Raspberry Pi has a full Linux operating system, which allows full applications and more customization of services (e.g. Dropbox, Moodle), and user interface.
