4 Workshop Objectives Participants will
Understand the difference between revising and remixing OER; and Learn how to revise and remix open educational resources (OER) using Open Author. Learn how to share OER using Open Author Session Abstract: Join math, science, and ESL adult educators to learn how to identify, use, modify, combine, and create open educational resources (OER) in an online environment. Bring your laptop/device and at least one science or math OER to modify (other OER will be provided too). We will evaluate these resources, revise and remix them, and consider licensing options for these newly created OER. This session is open to practitioners in all subject areas and promises to get you excited about using, creating, and sharing OER!

5 What are OER? “Open educational resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits sharing, accessing, repurposing—including for commercial purposes—and collaborating with others.” According to the National Educational Technology Plan, an Open Education Resource is an object that supports or facilitates teaching learning and research; It lives in the public domain It has been released under an intellectual property license (this is most commonly referred to as a Creative Commons license, but there are other names for it) and we’ll explore CC in greater depth in a few minutes) And that license allows for sharing, accessing and repurposing By using your “raise hand” icon, please indicate if this is similar to what you understand of an OER. Let’s take a look at more detailed criteria for an OER. But let’s answer this poll first… POLL: True or False 1.  WITH PROPER PERMISSION, I CAN MODIFY CERTAIN OERS TO BEST SUIT MY STUDENTS’ NEEDS? (click on response, then hit submit) OR Please raise your hand if you have ever heard of the 4rs in relation to OERs.

6 The 5 Rs Reuse: the right to reuse content Redistribute: the right to share content Remix: the right to combine content to make something new Revise: the right to modify content Retain: the right to make, own, and control copies of the content : Another way to help you determine if an object is an OER is by using the 5Rs. The 5 Rs provide an easy way to check if an object meets the criteria needed to be considered an open educational resource. The first R is Reuse – This is the right to reuse the content in its unaltered / verbatim form (e.g., make a digital copy of the content) 2. The next R is Redistribute – This is the right to share copies of the original content, your revisions, or your remixes with others (e.g., Are you allowed to give a copy of the content to a colleague or make copies for your students) 3.Remix - the right to combine the original or revised content with other content to create something new (e.g., you found a lesson plan online that you want to use, but you want to incorporate some technology aspect into it. You find an interactive online learning tool that supports your objective so you combine the two and create a New object. You’ve just remixed two items! 4.Revise - the right to adapt, adjust, modify, or alter the content itself (e.g., you modify the language of a text to match your students’ reading levels, or you alter the assessment activities so they provide deeper learning experiences for your students.) 5. Retain – the right to make, own, and control copies of the content (e.g. if you create an OER and share it and give permissions for others to modify it, your original work will not be changed – it will exist as you shared it) As you search for OER to use in your classrooms, you want to make sure that you are able to reuse and redistribute them. Most objects state the terms of use on the page, but you may have to dig a bit to find out what you are allowed to do – in a few minutes, we’ll show you some tips for digging a bit deeper. One of those tips is on your screen – creative commons. Questions?? Not sure? Check for this symbol:

7 Examples of OER Lesson Plan: Laws of Inertia
Podcasts & audio files Simulations Games Textbooks Lesson Plan: Laws of Inertia Music Apps OERs cover a wide range of tools that you can incorporate into your instructional and assessment activities. Podcasts Games/simulations Lesson plans Apps Digital textbooks Digital courses/curriculum Digital libraries ***REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST CHECK THE CREATIVE COMMONS/TERMS OF USE TO DETERMINE IF AN OBJECT IS TRULY AN OER***** I.e. all podcasts are not OERs…all online lesson plans are not OERs, etc. All images are Public Domain and retrieved from openclipart.org; exceptions: Simulations is CC BY from Idaho National Library ( Apps is CC BY from Christopher Vizcarra

8 Free vs. Open Use of free or no-cost resources that are not open is limited to approved reuse and redistribution. No revising/remixing. Use of open educational resources includes reuse, redistribution, and permission to adapt or modify the resource. Educators use free resources all the time and will continue to do so. The value in OPEN educational resources is the permissions to reuse, redistribute, revise and remix—educators can modify the resource in any way they wish. Additionally, educators can share their adapted or remixed resource back to the field through open licensing.

9 As a creator, you can license your work in any way that states your permissions for use to any other user. The most common form of licenses are Creative Commons (CC) licenses (most popular) You must be aware of how differently licensed works can be used. Here are some common licenses; however, we will not spend time in this session to get familiar with all the licenses. We strongly encourage you to visit Creative Commons online (creativecommons.org) to become familiar with licensing, because this is key to understanding whether you can use an OER, how you can use an OER, and how to openly share your future OER.

10 The Value of OER: Sharing
Open educational resources create efficient and affordable options for teachers and learners Adult educators and learners benefit from participation in an open community OER permissions (free and legal) allow for continuous evolution of practice and materials Education is a matter of sharing and the open educational resources approach is designed specifically to enable efficient and affordable sharing. Open educational resources also allow the full power of the Internet to be brought to bear on education.--by allowing a seamless sharing of educational resources with other people around the world. This is commonly called an open community—the world community in which educators, learners, and others can share materials, resources, and ideas. OER provide teachers with free and legal permissions to engage in continuous quality improvement processes like incremental adaptation and revision, enabling teachers and learners (anyone in the open community) to fully control or manage their materials, courses and textbooks in a manner not previously possible Other points to note OER help meet the demand for high quality content in adult education, while enhancing instructional practice and student learning. OER help students achieve their learning goals by providing flexible and accessible supplements to instruction. OER encourage life-long learning habits in students and they also help educators do their job better by augmenting instruction and helping teachers learn about new topics.

11 The Value of OER: Open Pedagogy
“…the assignment is impossible without the permissions granted by open licenses.” ~David Wiley, October 2013 So, what makes Open Pedagogy different from the work that adult educators have always done in their classrooms? As defined by David Wiley, for any coursework to be considered open pedagogy, it must have permissions granted by open licensing to revise, remix, re-use, redistribute, and retain. ( Additionally, research has shown that there are key influences on learning that are consistent both with good teaching and open pedagogy: Trust & empathy – Build trusting relationships with students, show empathy for students Clarity in teaching, i.e., clear organization, explanations, examples, guided practice, and assessment of student learning (note – this is clarity as rated by students) Worked examples – examples that give students the opportunity to process information and get to the right answer, i.e., not giving the answer to students Organize & Transform – create active approaches to learning tasks, to include developing outlines before writing the paper, summarizing and paraphrasing to ensure understanding Feedback Reciprocal Teaching – explicit teaching of cognitive strategies before teaching, e.g., teaching students how to summarize, question, clarify, and predict [*Taken from Wiley’s blog at: pulled from Visible Learning by John Hattie, published by Routledge, NY, NY, 2009] References: Wiley, David. "What Is Open Pedagogy?" Iterating toward Openness. Lumen, 21 Oct Web. 13 Apr < Hattie, John. Visible Learning: A Synthesis of over 800 Meta-analyses Relating to Achievement. London: Routledge, 2009.

12 The 5Rs: Revise Revise – the right to adapt, adjust, modify, or alter the content itself (e.g., translate the content into another language) Source: David Wiley, The Access Compromise and the 5th R

13 Revise: An Example Brief description of OER Comparing sales ads for the Shopping Unit for Beginner Adult ESL learners. Using sales ads students will learn how to figure out sale prices, percentage discounts, and final cost of items. They will compare ads from advertisers, compare like items, and find the best price available. Students will learn how to make sentences using comparatives (and superlatives – for higher level ESL learners.) Layout of OER This OER provides directions for the teacher, as seen on the slide. However, it does not explicitly provide step by step materials for users. This is not a negative evaluation of the resource, it is a factual description. If I wanted to revise this OER, I would create materials that provide explicit directions on how to introduce Comparatives to the class. Source:

15 The 5Rs: Remix Remix – the right to combine the original or revised content with other open content to create something new (e.g., incorporate the content into a mashup) - Source: David Wiley, The Access Compromise and the 5th R

16 Remix Illustrated

17 How many ways can you think of to revise and remix OER?

18 Types of Modifications
Changing single words Adding strategy or vocabulary mini-lessons Modifying directions, activities, assessments, etc. Adding, removing, editing video and images Adding simulations Creating voice overs/closed captions Other suggestions?

19 Necessary Modification Tools
Microsoft Office Screen-cast-o-matic or other screen capture software Audacity YouTube video editor Other suggestions?

21 Revise and Remix Activity
Form 3 Groups ESL Math Technology Use Handout to begin Remixing and Revising Pick one of the 3 content areas: ESL, Math, Technology Using the Instruction sheet and Open Author, revise and remix the existing lesson, Learning at the Grocery Store Depending on the tasks assigned for your content area, you will do several of the following types of revising and remixing: Add text Add video Add images Select and add new content Modify and add a vocabulary list Show them how to license the new resource

22 Getting Started Open the Adult Education cMOOC
  Go to the Live Session Materials [Under Topics > OER in the Adult Ed. Classroom]   Open the Core OER Lesson Click “View Resource” then “Remix this Resource” Begin revising and remixing using the directions on the handout! You are now at the Open Adult Ed. cMOOC website. Go to the Live Session Materials link either through the link on the handout, or by going to Topics, OER in the Adult Ed. Classroom Using the link in your handout, go to the OER Learning in the Grocery Store We have provided activities and content for the different focus areas, ESL, math, technology so that the different groups could try different things. We have provided different tasks that you can do to revise and remix the existing Learning at the Grocery Store lesson—but you can veer off your assigned list, doing tasks in other lists or coming up with your own The Learning at the Grocery Store lesson is a mock lesson that is missing sections and is not a fully fleshed out or formed lesson, just to be used for practice purposes. For each group, we have asked that you add text into the Student Level section to begin. Start by placing your cursor in that section and then typing text. The next task on each list involves inserting media – either a document, a video link, an image, or a link to a simulation. I’ll show you an example. We will go to the top menu bar which is in gray, and find the cluster of icons that allows us to insert media into the various sections of the lesson. Click on it. You will see that you can find a file on your computer or paste a link or grab and drag and drop. I will select this item and add it to the lesson. You can see that after I add this item, I then click next, and then click submit Now I have functions to edit the labels and placement of the items, and to delete Give this a try and we will come around to assist if you have any questions.

23 Reflections Conversation,

24 One More Step: Share! In Open Author… Describe Select License Share!

25 Open Author: Describe Abstract Subject Primary User Educational Use
Level (can add adult ed!) Material Type Learning Goals Keywords (add adult ed!) Align to CCRS is applicable

26 Open Author: Submit and Select License

27 Open Author: Share!

28 Education is inherently an enterprise of openness and sharing and generosity.
