Unlocking Open Educational Resources (OERs) Interaction Data

Unlocking Open Educational Resources (OERs) Interaction Data | ed tech snippets & other stuff | Scoop.it
From dlib.ukoln.ac.uk - May 21, 5:23 PM

Each time a teacher or a learner interacts with an Open Educational Resource (OER), these interactions produce data. This "interaction data" includes "artifact data" routinely captured during any online interaction by Web server logs (e.g., users' browsers, users' IP addresses) and "social data" created during Web 2.0-style interactions with resources (e.g., tags, comments, ratings, favorites). Interaction data can serve a number of purposes in a period of increased interest worldwide in OERs quality and uptake. First, interaction data is a valuable source of analytics about OERs and typical audience profiles. Second, combined with metadata, interaction data can enhance searching, ranking, and recommendations of learning resources. However, obtaining this data is not always easy since OERs, in particular, are generally dispersed among different systems where the interactions between resources and their users take place. This paper describes approaches to unlocking, collecting and aggregating this interaction data.

Imagine if more libraries took a leadership role in locating, evaluating, collecting, and providing access to quality OERs.

Reflections on three years of the UK OER Programmes

 

This book is not intended as a beginners guide or a technical manual, instead it is an expert synthesis of the key technical issues arising from a national publicly-funded programme. It is intended for people working with technology to support the creation, management, dissemination and tracking of open educational resources, and particularly those who design digital infrastructure and services at institutional and national level.

Summary of CETIS's work on technology for/ around/ about open educational resources. A state of the art introduction to, overview of, and reflection on the technology related questions encountered in three years of working with Open Educational Resource initiatives in the UK.

 

(Disclosure - I worked for CETIS during the programs, on many of these questions, with these folk, so I may not be totally neutral...)

With Coursera and edX both announced this week they are doubling the number of universities partners, I decided to update the data. I also added another MOOC: Futurelearn

One more thing that was added to the visualisation is the average University World Ranking by MOOCs.

ChrisPegler's curator insight, February 12, 8:02 AM

A nice guide written for Arts disciplines.Thank you to John Casey for bringing it to my attention. It appeared in the Arts Libraries Journal. It is openly available under a CC-BY licence in the ALTO learning and teaching repository

 

http://alto.arts.ac.uk/904/

 

Abstract

This article provides an introduction to the use of the Creative Commons licence system and sets it in a historical, economic and political context. It is written from the perspective of involvement in open educational projects in an Arts university that has used the licences. A description of the fundamental features of the licences and their uses is given together with an outline of how the Creative Commons organisation works and its strategic aims. An assessment of the usefulness of the licences is provided together with a description of the challenges faced in dealing with low levels of legal awareness amongst academics. Practical advice and sources of further information and guidance are offered to help readers implement the licences locally.

From books.google.fr - February 15, 10:41 AM
Throughout higher education assessment is changing, driven by increased class size, changing curricula and the need to support students better.
JohnRobertson's insight:

Though a few years old this look slike a really interesting collection of articles about rethinking assessment. 

 

NOTE:

this is a link to the Google Books page for this book. It's not access to a copy rather a bookmark of something I want to read (when I find a budget for it or time to ILL !)

JohnRobertson's insight:

"The big question for both MOOC providers and participating universities is how, and when will revenue be generated from MOOCs? This article will explore a few current options and explain how they might fit some of the available models."

"First, given the long lag between now and the date at which MOOCs are likely to generate sufficient revenue to cover their costs for a university, only institutions that can afford to pay $50,000 per course for a multiyear period can participate in the current model. Assuming that four courses per year is the minimum to have a significant but highly targeted MOOC presence an institution should expect to pay about $200,000 per year for the next 5 years or more."

Really impressive! However, although there was an attempt to see a correlation between completion rate and type of grading (automatic vs.peer), there is no statistical proof that such correlation exists.

JohnRobertson's insight:

This seems to be an LTI app store layer of sorts. Slightly disconcerted that the advice on LTI integration for D2L is 'we haven't found a good tutorial on this yet', but it may be, in part, showcasing Canvas' support for them. A neat set of apps for any LMS using the LTI spec.
