We spent a couple of weeks on open education. One of which was with our guest Dr. Connie Blomgren from Athabasca University. I’m sharing a few of the resources we reviewed in class:
- Dr. Blomgren’s Slides [PDF]
- Video Shared by Connie: The Landscape of OER Scholarship
- Valerie’s Slides on Open Pedagogy
- National Advocacy Framework for OER in Canada
- Valerie’s keynote to CUEBC’s PSA event
- Choosing a License – Creative Commons
- Saanich Artist Pays Penalty for Copyright Infringement
And I discussed with some of you some options/tools for creating resources. We reviewed Pressbooks (a book format that can be viewed online or exported as an e-book, PDF, printed, etc.) and also H5P for making interactive elements in a Pressbook. It might be helpful to know that the dashboard behind Pressbooks looks very similar to the WordPress dashboard. It’s an option should anyone be interested and it can have many authors, including student co-authors if that gives you any ideas…
- Pressbooks (grad students can create an account similar to our MEd alumni)
- Creative Active Learning Experiences Using H5P
- See examples of H5P in this Biology textbook with the self-assessments at the bottom of this section
- BC Campus Open Publishing (including catalogue of open textbooks and tutorials on Pressbooks)
- BC Open Collection of Educational Materials
- Anything here you could adopt? Adapt? or can you consider creating something? on your own? with peers? or co-create with learners?
