Presentation for ALT SIG 18 June 2015
- 1. Opening Educational Practices in Scotland Opening Educational Practices in Scotland (OEPS): update for ALT SIG 18 June 2015
- 2. The project Cross-sector project in Scotland tasked to increase the awareness and use of OER. Led by OU in Scotland as part of its outcome agreement with the Scottish Funding Council. Currently working with around 50 organisations …
- 3. Origins An extensive range of partnerships between the OU in Scotland and other organisations: third sector, unions, employers, colleges and schools. An increase in interest in OER and the development of some partnerships to co-produce new material and practices. Adults, transitions and widening participation.
- 4. Focusing on Practice Practice is about design, structure and support But also about partnership, networks and social models of learning
- 5. Project activities •Discussion with partners and potential partners – approx 50 •Workshops oLearning Design aimed at developing practice o‘Open Learning Champions’ oA range of open practice topics •Presentations at conferences and seminars •Advisory forums •Developing exemplar OER with associated practice •Supporting development and piloting of badges in WP contexts •Developing hub for open educational practice •Embedded evaluation and research •Reports and papers
- 6. Emerging Themes • Partnership • High levels of interest outside the education sector • Extending learning design and practice to include the use of materials in social settings – importance of peer support • Links between digital participation and open education • Value of working with partners who are embedded in their own well established networks • The opportunities that are created by working with partners where individuals play intermediary or facilitating roles with fellow workers, clients … • The online hub is being designed to support learning communities – not another repository
- 7. Hub for open educational practice •Designed to support intermediaries – ‘gatekeepers’ •Generic level – search, short course, events, support and guidance on OEP and creating OER/P •Community level – multiple communities of practice. Tools, events, search, context based support and guidance – and critically a forum for sharing good practice and asking questions (examples – Scottish Union Learning Reps, Carers, practitioners in health education specialisms, co-ops, poverty and welfare)
- 8. Open Badges • Currently 5 badges created under the umbrella of OEPS and being used at scale • More in the pipeline – discussion with SQA • New Badged Online Access Courses
- 9. Next few months •One year report •More on digital participation / digital literacy and the intersection with open education and widening participation •Launch of the online hub (summer 2015) •Launch of exemplar OERs (end 2015) •Evidence gathering / analytics – particular of impact of practice based interventions and the use of badges •Final year – improved tools for OpenLearnWorks – to enable greater use of reversioning

Notas do Editor
- Ronnie We know there is a lot of work to do to maintain focus in creating high quality free materials, to encourage re use, and to ensure that the agenda of free and open remains high on the political agenda, and people will have a chance to explore this in the afternoon in the Open Scotland declaration session. The next promise is not so easy, we have large numbers, but it seems we have made things accessible we have not always broadened participation, certainly not in the strict sense of broadening the socio-economic base of those accessing education. Our sense is the best way to meet this challenge is to learn from what we (and many others) have done to explore how to broaden the socio-economic base of those accessing education. We think we have a great deal that can be learnt and applied from those working in this area, and we are pleased that so many have come along today. I think what it suggests is that there is a coming together of those interested in using the freedoms and low transaction costs of sharing openly licensed materials online and those who are working in communities with those distanced from education.

- Ronnie Open education practices encompass, as any education practice that stretches and tests the spaces between online and face to face education, it draws in a lot of different educational practices. Our focus is on the pratices around how one designs learning in for and through openness, but also (and we feel this is crucial) the educational practices that structure and support learning in the open, and it is ours sense at the moment these are best served through opening up the academy to new voices and through bringing learners in by bringing in those they to use andtrust, through partnerships with those that support those most distanced from education.

- Pete and then Ronnie introduces discussion Our work so far indicates that OpenBadges might be a crucial enabling factor, though with caveats, like anything based on value and trust they will only be valued by learners if they have a currency that people can trust, and clearly there is a lot of work to do in this area. I suppose we would like to stop here, after all this is a forum, and draw on the experience in the room, In particular around the promise of badges, but aslo ask people to share their experiences of openness and partnership working.
