What is your tolerance for failure in education?

Jess Mitchell, senior manager of research and design at the Inclusive Design Research Centre, posed the question on Wednesday to a group of around 850 educators, librarians and other open-access enthusiasts at the OpenEd conference in Niagara Falls, N.Y.

Even as movements like open access gain momentum and increase access to learning materials for more students, Mitchell said, “the so-called playing field is not equal.” Determining where educators draw the line for failure, whether that’s with students of color, low-income students, immigrant students or some other group, determines educational outcomes and equity opportunities for the future.

6 Key Trends to 21st Century Teaching | EdSurge Guides

6 Key Trends to 21st Century Teaching | EdSurge Guides | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
It’s popular these days to complain that college teaching hasn’t changed in hundreds of years. And sure, it’s possible to find some professors on any campus holding yellowed lecture notes, or clinging to dusty chalk. But the reality is that the internet and digital technologies have already brought profound changes to instructional styles and tools in higher education.
So what are the new teaching approaches catching on at today’s campuses? And what are the broader cultural changes around college teaching?

Open pedagogy, Open Educational Practices – You're the Teacher

Open pedagogy, Open Educational Practices – You're the Teacher | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
This post is part of my reflection on an upcoming talk I’m giving at Douglas College about open pedagogy: “What’s Open about Open Pedagogy?” In my previous post I started collecting some examples of activities that people have put under the umbrella of open pedagogy. In an earlier post I collated a number of definitions of open pedagogy, and in my next post I plan to dig more deeply into what I think open pedagogy is and what might be “open” about it.

Open Educational Practice: the boring way and more interesting ways

Open Educational Practice: the boring way and more interesting ways | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Due to a combination of personal and institutional flaws (the information systems and enterprise processes within Universities continue to be "interesting") that last month or so has been pretty horrendous from a work perspective. Only now starting to get some space to reflect on what's been happening and engage more students and research. My apologies…

If educators (teachers and professors) can understand the power of Open Educational Resources (OER) and learn the ways to integrate it in their lessons, classrooms will never be the same for the students.

Open Data as Open Educational Resources: Case studies of emerging practice | Open Education Working Group

Open Data as Open Educational Resources: Case studies of emerging practice | Open Education Working Group | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

his post marks the official publication of the volume: Open Data as Open Educational Resources: Case studies of emerging practice.

The process of developing this book was a learning experience for us. We had no prior experience in independent publishing, but instead of going the traditional route of attempting to find a professional publisher, in the spirit of openness, we decided to self publish, and to make the entire process as open as possible. The intention of this book is to showcase good practices in an approachable way that can be understood by those who are not necessarily very familiar with open data or data analysis, in order to promote the use of open data as OER to educators, researchers and other organisations.

What’s at the top of the learning and teaching agenda in the UK? | Jisc Inform / Issue 38, Winter 2013 | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Students are more satisfied than ever according to the National Student Survey results, which revealed that 85% were happy with the teaching on their courses. And on the other side of the desk, institutions are working hard to raise standards and meet student expectations. Last year, Jisc and our partners began to take a more holistic approach to supporting learning and teaching in universities with bespoke consultation and workshops, as well as a leadership development course for leading in technology-enhanced change. The early results are encouraging: the University of Gloucestershire said their involvement in the project “will produce a long-term legacy in changed culture and behaviour.”

How to Move from Passive to Active Learning Through Open Education Resources | EdTech Magazine

How to Move from Passive to Active Learning Through Open Education Resources | EdTech Magazine | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Freely available, open education resources provide opportunities for college students to strengthen their critical thinking and quantitative literacy skills using sophisticated active-learning strategies.

In a 2017 Wakefield market research survey, investigators found 85 percent of college students elected not to buy one or more required hard copy course textbooks. Students also are turning more frequently to their mobile devices to complete their coursework

Their reasons included the high price of textbooks and the fact that they did not value textbooks as learning tools. Instead, students are enticed by online course content, which can be accessed anywhere on campuses equipped with modern network infrastructures.

The Impact of OER on Teaching and Learning Practice | Weller | Open Praxis

The Impact of OER on Teaching and Learning Practice

 

The OER Research Hub has been investigating the impact of OER, using eleven hypotheses, and a mixed methods approach to establish an evidence base. This paper explores the findings relating to teaching and learning. The findings reveal a set of direct impacts, including an increase in factors relating to student performance, increased reflection on the part of educators, and the use of OER to trial and supplement formal study. There are also indirect impacts, whose benefits will be seen after several iterations. These include the wide scale reporting of adaptation, and the increase in sharing and open practice that results from OER usage.
