What is OpenCourseWare?
• could be an original sourse (or course)• because of the 'sharing character' of OER and
OCW– translation– combination of several courses (whether they are
orginal or not)– etc...

Why be Open in education?
A lot (and good ) arguments:
• technical argument
• political argument
• economical argument
• evolutionary argument
• educational argument
By the way...
Something is in it for you...
Technical argument
Education and sharing can't be without one another!
knowledge, experiences, feedback, knowhow, criticism,
insights, respect, engagement,...
papers, practice examples, insights, criticism, respect, answers to questions, engagement,... (and sometimes hard questions)
Education = magic! one can share something without losing it.
David Wiley http://slideshare.net/opencontent
• Why should someone have to pay to get education!?
Open Access! Open publishing! Open courses!
Why Open Education matters.
David Wiley http://slideshare.net/opencontent
Political argument
• Will editors' businesses crash?– Research1 shows evidence that in many cases the
sale of books increases when an online version is offered open (and for free)
• Exposure – organisational level– individual level
1Hilton, J., Wiley, D. (2010). The short-term influence of free digital versions of books on print sales. Journal of Electronic Publishing, 13(1)
Economical argument
• Receiving feedback benefits for your own students
• Enhance innovation and creativity• 4R's of Openness
– reuse = copy– redistribute = sharing– revise = edit & adapt– remix = combine with other resources
R
David Wiley http://slideshare.net/opencontent
evolutionary argument
• Presence in educational world... and way beyond
Educational argument
Over 260 institutions and organizations worldwide supporting open sharing in education!
• Presence in education world... and way beyond• (Re)orient students• Own students: stumble courses• Flipped classroom• ...
Educational argument
What's in it for you?
• OCW as a user• OCW as a content provider
– Be part of the Open Community– Exposure / Networking– Educational advantages
Copyrights & Open Licensing 3
Yeah... but... Opening up courses sounds great, but what happens with the licensing of content?
Who receives credits for the courses I develop?
What with using Copyrighted materials...?
First of all... ... I'm not a lawyer.
