Presentation Notes

MIT has served as model; other universities from the US and around the world are offering open courseware. Many, but not all, of these universities have joined the Open Courseware Consortium (OCWC). This organization and its combined inventory of open courses, has grown rapidly. In 2007, about 108 institutions were associated with OCWC including in the U.S. Johns Hopkins, MIT, Michigan State, University of Michigan, Notre Dame, Utah State and UCI.

Presentation Notes

In January 2007, about 3,300 courses could be counted in the OCWC inventory


Jan. 2007: 47% of OCWC Courses from MIT

Slide 9

Presentation Notes

About 47% of the total were from MIT


Today: 71% of Courses from Other Members

Slide 10

Presenter

Presentation Notes

By April of ‘08, just 16 months later, there were about 6,200 courses, with MIT’s share dropping to just 29%

Presentation Notes

This represents a growth of 82% in the year ended April ‘08

45 Universities on iTunes

Presenter

Presentation Notes

And of course the Open Courseware Consortium is not the only game in town. A similar growth curve could be shown by many other open initiatives, including those shown in partnership with commercail enterprises.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

UC has responded to this call for openness in several ways: For instance, UC Irvine joined the OCWC in November 2007, becoming the first UC and West Coast university to join.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

UC Berkeley has also joined the OCWC but is going down a path quite different than the one used by MIT. UCB began posting recorded video versions of its courses to various publically available sites including Google, YouTube, and iTunes. Other UC campuses are considering doing this as well.

Presentation Notes

While many people are familiar with the MIT effect of OCW and instinctively understand the UCB model, they may not understand alternative models. Here is a quick comparison of three institutions

Three Questions

1. What are the factors driving this increased interest in OCW?

2. What are the benefits to an institution to offer Open Courseware?

3. Why should UC be involved?

Slide 19

Presenter

Presentation Notes

I have provided you with a brief sketch of the OCW movement. Now let me turn to some relevant questions

1. Lofty Visions

Factors Driving the OCW Movement

Slide 20

To make the entire sum of human knowledge available to everyone, anywhere, at any time – for free

Factors Driving the OCW MovementLofty Visions

Slide 21

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Here is an expression of the most expanded vision of what OCW would foster

What is the world going to do with the estimated 1 billion people in developing countries who want and can benefit from higher education?

Factors Driving the OCW MovementLofty Visions

What will happen if they can’t get it?

Slide 22

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Another related vision, one with more than a little fear attached is this… These questions are clearly animating the major foundations such as the Hewlett, Ford, Sloan, Mellon, and Gates (My guess is that that is reason enough for us to be interested)

1. Lofty Visions2. Some Barriers to Involvement Being

Removed


Slide 23

Much of the existing developed learning content has:

Low Commercial ValueHigh Social Value

Factors Driving the OCW MovementSome Barriers to Involvement Being Removed

Slide 24

Presenter

Presentation Notes

In addition to some compelling lofty visions, universities and their faculties are seeing things differently now than just a few years ago. In real terms, most material represented by or contained in open courseware has little commercial value. There is no market for it, no matter how great it is. But it can have high social value. Faculty members and other producers of educational material are beginning to realize this and are also beginning to see the advantage to themselves of unlocking this material to gain personal and institutional reputation and prestige.

Creative Commons Licenses Soar(millions)

Slide 25

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Also some “fixes” to legal rights have come along to dramatically ease the digital distribution of material. Releasing intellectual property to public or open use has been greatly facilitated by the Creative Commons license. I won’t go into detail now, but here is a chart showing the rapid increase in the use of Creative Commons licenses.

1. Lofty Visions2. Some Barriers to Involvement Being

Technology Imperative


Slide 26

Factors Driving the OCW MovementThe Compelling Nature of the

Technology Imperative

• Self-Publishing• World Wide “Free” Distribution• Availability of Information• Ease of Updating• Just-in-time Display

• Need for Finding Information• Need for Making Sense of Huge Amounts of

Information

Slide 27

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Finally, in my view, the most important underlying force for open courseware is something I term the “technological imperative”. New technology has allowed us to incorporate these elements into the teaching/learning process. Each one of these could be seen as causing a revolution in teaching and learning but when viewed as a group, the impact on teaching and learning is truly profound. The ability to utilize these aspects in teaching and learning calls for the highest and best use.

1. To meet the University’s desire to play a significant role in the contribution to the social welfare of the state, the nation, and the world

2. To showcase the University’s top instructional efforts and make those course materials free on a global scale to educators, students, and self-learners

3. OCW provides faculty and researchers a place to deposit and have seen the results of their work in creating teaching and learning material

The OCW Institutional Value Proposition

Presenter

Presentation Notes

It is clear that many institutions, including several UC campuses, view OCW as having value. What are those values? MIT staked our some very high ground with its initiative gaining praise from around the world. We can, too. Each individual OCW posting is an opportunity for highly positive publicity and is consistent with the land grand and public service mission of UC. 2.The quality of the posted materials provides an opportunity for campuses and faculty to show off in the most publically available forum of all. Right now UC has many repositories of material. The OCW program could provide a unified collection point for useful material and could relate and connect that material to similar materials around the world.

4. OCW provides potential funding agencies with attractive and useful opportunities for disseminating research results

5. OCW is a funding target in itself for public service

6. OCW provides a vehicle for training incumbent staff and faculty

7. UC, by contributing its own material, can more fully and legitimately take advantage of material produces elsewhere

8. Strategic connections will drive traffic to our OCW sites

The OCW Institutional Value Proposition

Slide 29

Presenter

Presentation Notes

The recent emphasis by NIH on clinical translational science and NSF on the public use of research products provides a chance for UC researchers to use OCW for public dissemination and the structuring of research funding into educational materials of high and wide impact. Deserving audiences of high need of educational resources such as K-12 teachers, health services workers, and environmentalists can become target audiences for OCW worthy of funding in and of themselves. OCW can be used by faculty and staff in education and training: OSHA compliance and policy information are examples. While perhaps somewhat antithetical to UC culture, the material posted by others to the OCW inventory, could be very useful in our own programs. Making our own contributions gives us experience and provides and orientation to faculty members who might be more inclined to use OCW The connections we make to the broader community through organizations such as iTunes and the OCWC will help us attract visitors to our web pages. A portion of those visitors will naturally visit other related UC sites expanding opportunities for related activities.
