taking now really gives most of the
control to the learners, and I’ve
appreciated that quite a lot (although it
is quite challenging).” FDOL132

A bit (more) about me…...
I am a “Flipped Academic”.
The Flipped Academic (Bruton 2012) is someone who:
1.Informs first and publishes later
2.Works within the research-teaching-service paradigm
but adopts criteria to maximize impact
3.Seeks “the truth” and “usefulness” together
4.Views funding received as an input, not an output
5.Builds learning environments, not lectures
6.Works where they need to work
Before we start……...
● This is a practical session.
● You will be asked to contribute!
● I want to learn as much from you as you
from me.
● I will be sharing an open resource with you.
● I would like you to share one with me.
● STOP me at anytime.
● None of this is really my work!
Part 1: OER - From closed to open.

What does “open” mean
for you?
Advantages of OER ● OER provide freedom of access for both yourself and others.
● Because you can freely adapt them, OER encourage pedagogical innovation.
● Because OER are available free of charge, using them can lower costs to students
and organizations.
● You and your organization may benefit from potential publicity.
● When you share OER, you are contributing to the global education community.
● When you share OER, you open a new method of collaborating with your students
and colleagues.
● Your OER may be helpful to future educators.
● Your OER may be beneficial to underserved individuals in the developed and
developing world.
● Using OER puts you in control and avoids "vendor lock-in" or a situation in which
you can only use one company's products.

“R” is for resources…...

OER as an enhancer.
● Recognise our staff’s own
resources.
● Provide some institutional
resources.
● Enhance with OER

If OER is phase one…….
……….Phase 2 is characterized by the following aspects:
● OER is the means and not an end, in order to transform educational
practices in schools and HEIs
● Goes beyond access into open learning architectures
● The focus is on combining formal and informal learning, learning is
predominantly seen as construction + sharing
● OEP allows for quality improvement in education through external
validation, as all resources and also practices are shared and possibility for
feedback is opened.
● Focus is on a change of educational cultures more than on mere resource
availability
● OER as value proposition for institutions
Does your institution have
an open education policy?
Policy or not?
