The document outlines a framework for initiating open education projects, emphasizing the importance of improving accessibility and interoperability of Open Educational Resources (OER). It discusses the challenges related to the quality, discoverability, and reuse of educational data and proposes strategies using linked data technologies. Partnerships with various universities and organizations are mentioned to support the mission of promoting open education across Europe.
#OCWCGlobal Research in Open Education
- 1. Getting started with Open Education: Everything you need to know to begin open education projects at your institution Research in Open Education Edmundo Tovar edmundo.tovar@upm.es OpenCourseWare in the European HE context opencourseware.eu with the support of the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Union 1 LJUBLJANA, SLOVENIA 23 - 25 April 2014
- 2. Quality as the challenge Four dimensions: 1. Teaching and Learning Processes 2.Information and Material Content 3. Presentation, Product and Format 4. System, Technical and Technology
- 3. Quality as the challenge
- 4. • To improve the accesibility, discoverability , share, use and reuse of OER and educational data through emergent web technologies. • Vision: OER shared and accesible to all and open data linked Mission of our research group: GICAC UPM-UTPL
- 6. Heterogeneity leads to problems of interoperability and accessibility of open content among institutions and within them. The lack of interoperability shows some disadvantages in the discovery, reuse, re-mix and adaptation of OER. #sophia
- 7. Educational content Open licenses data in machine format OPEN: "A piece of knowledge is open if you are free to use, reuse, and redistribute it” http://www.opendefinition.org/okd OER semantic based on LinkedData approach + + @nopiedra2012
- 8. Figure: Overview of conceptual map about general structure of OCW LOCWD Vocabulary Modeling Common data available from OCW websites are: title, knowledge area, open educational materials, open licenses, repositories, higher education institutions, content creators, fields of knowledge, learning guides, licenses, accessibility conformance, and others
- 9. Guided navigation Previews of Results Refine search Add keywords With Serendipity Explore OCW in an integrated and incremental manner, from any of the repositories of institutions that publish OpenCourseWare.
- 10. Facets Share this OCW Inspect current OCW Refine your search Access the full description of the courses as published by the home institution, along with complimentary information such as language, license, author, country, geographic location of the institution and other semantically related information available via the Web. Propose change
- 11. Link current OCW to Other LinkedData Source
- 12. Openness Linked Data & Visualization
- 13. Serendipity POIs use icons to represent different categories of POI on a map graphically. A point of interest, or POI, is a OER specific point location that someone may find useful or interesting.
- 14. Serendipity POIs - Open data contains valuable information that will drive insights, innovations, and discoveries, but it can be difficult to access and digest. Using data visualization, we’re simplify the complexity and drive a deeper understanding of the open educational context.
- 15. Impact on end-users Social Network Analysis
- 16. Current state: folksonomies North America Most influential tags Network information
- 17. potential state: tags and authors
- 18. Current researches • A recommender system using social relationships and SNA, to improve the finding and reuse of news OER • A framework for discovery and recommendation of open educational resources by self-learners • Integrating OER in MOOC context using Linked Data technologies • A framework for promoting the quality associated to the lifecyle of OER.
