students know stuff.
students
* students are becoming ever harder to define in traditional ways like, say, someone who shows up to “class”.** know in ways that are explicit, measurable, quantifiable; but also in ways that are tacit, immeasurable, and, frankly, taken for granted. *** stuff about not only technology and the web, but also about people, practices, potential.

into
producing OER
who are these people?
what about students?
and a team of U-M OER specialists...
for use by students, educators and self-learners...
Motivatedstudents...
collaborate with faculty...
to gather, review, edit, and publish

do-it-yourself, digital, distributed
motivated students or individuals who:
• organize, clear, tag course materials
• are familiar with technology and software
• learn about intellectual property & copyright
• engage with content in new ways
“dScribes”
benefits to students:
•master course content
•learn about copyright and copyleft
•establish unique connection w/ faculty
•potential to get course credit
•collaborate w/ other dedicated classmates
•make resources available to everyone
dScribe publication model
benefits to faculty:
•students in course know best!
•establishing unique connection w/ students
•quality assurance of materials
•obtain user feedback on content >> improve
content
dScribe publication model
issues we have noted:
•difference between student quality and faculty
quality of work
•limited expertise in subject area
•limited time to devote to OER production
•difficult to obtain the right balance of incentives
for participation and production

the classroom is changing

social view of learning & learning 2.0
a Cartesian view of knowledge and learning
:: John Seely Brown and Richard P. Adler: “I think therefore I am” : knowledge as substance & pedagogy as knowledge transfer

Cartesian perspective assumes that knowledge is a kind of substance and that pedagogy thinks that the best way to transfer this substance is from teachers to students.

the social view of learning - learning 2.0

- our understanding of content is socially constructed through conversations about that content and through grounded interactions around problems and actions. not “what” but “how” we learn (JSB)

learning 2.0 - characteristics
:: connected: students, staff, & faculty
:: global audience: facebook, slideshare, YouTube
:: participatory : commenting as part of assignments
:: project based learning: authentic assessments and real clients
:: technology as a mindset, not a skill: blogs, wikis, multimedia, social networking : collaborative virtual spaces: permanent records of work and conversations

a summary
:: sharing as the norm
:: learning is more about how than what
:: participation and collaboration are key
a proposition
:: learning how to be open is essential to engaging in social learning and learning 2.0
Not just “learning about” but “learning to be”
developing the practices and norms of a the practitioners in a field to acculturate ones self into a culture of practice
Not just “learning about” but “learning to be”
developing the practices and norms of a the practitioners in a field to acculturate ones self into a culture of practice
is a step in that direction.
students as makers. students as collaborators.
students as teachers.
sharing the stuff they know.
making learning relevant, interesting, meaningful.
making open the norm.
