This interactive workshop will develop your knowledge of how open educational resources can be used to develop and support the curriculum. It will consider the benefits of 'giving away learning for free', offer an insight into what makes a valuable open educational resource and what issues need to be considered.
The session will be run by Kate Signorini from The Open University in Scotland and Jonathan Darby, Director, SCORE (the Support Centre for Open resources in Education). It is one of many events being held around the world as part of Open Education Week 5-10 March 2012.
We will look at the opportunities that open educational resources can offer:
* Flexible delivery of curriculum
* Bridging informal and formal learning
* Positive impact on recruitment, preparation and progression
* Reducing course production costs
We will look at innovations in open educational resources with reference to The Open University's free content across a wide range of formats such as iTunesU, YouTube and OpenLearn.
We will use the experience of developing bespoke material on The Open University's OpenLearn website as a focus for discussing how open educational resources can be used as an alternative way of developing curriculum and how such issues as online pedagogy and quality are addressed.
Aim
The aim of this workshop is to encourage individuals, institutions and programmes across the higher education sector to develop a deeper understanding of the benefits of open educational resources.
Outcomes
The workshop will enable you to:
* Learn more about innovations in open educational resources
* Share your experiences of open educational resources
* Consider how open educational resources could work in your own institution and what are the potential barriers
* Explore how open educational resources can change ways of working and learning

Educators have taken advantage of the Internet to share their resources with colleagues around the world. There is now an increasing amount of free online resources to support open education. OpenStax College, for example, will soon offer free peer-reviewed textbooks on different subjects.
Why do educators embrace open education? What are open educational resources (OER) and where are they located? How could instructors at Western benefit from the abundance of OER?
Michael McNally, a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Information & Media Studies, will introduce the audience to open education and facilitate discussion of how OER can be integrated into teaching and learning.

Está jornada está dirigida a la comunidad de profesores y estudiantes con el fin de presentar qué servicios UPM e impacto que pueden alcanzar en el desarrollo de la “Educación en Abierto” de la UPM.
Full agenda: http://serviciosgate.upm.es/ocwupm/?p=395
Sustaining Open Education Practice (OEP) and the development of Open Educational Resources (OER) is an important step in ensuring that informal and formal learning is able to flourish in a changing landscape of higher education provision everywhere.
Understanding what drives people to engage in OER will enable you to engage in strategic discussions at a number of different levels within your institution. This workshop will consider how OER and OEP are impacting on Higher Education, why this is beneficial to learners, lecturers and institutions and what can be done to build on the movement.

We tend to treat open education and open research as if they are completely separate issues, just as our universities tend to separate the different missions of the institutions, although these missions are delivered by the same people. This seminar will explore the shared agendas of research communication and learning materials development in what has become an increasingly collaborative, multidisciplinary and open online research environment. Could openness become the space in which these two changing environments converge, to the benefit of the effectiveness and relevance and impact of all three of the university missions?
Eve Gray is an Honorary Research Associate in the Centre for Education Technology and is currently the Programme Lead of the IDRC-funded Scholarly Communications Programme. She is recognized as an international expert on Open Access to research from a developing country perspective.
