The talk I was going to give was going to go something like…
We’re experimenting with what we can do with the course materials published in MIT OpenCourseWare –for– MIT.
Namely, let’s restructure the materials and import them into Moodle and build assessments around them … turning them into “real” Open CourseWare.
And then, here’s a working example and what we learned… But…

…so, my apologies…
Instead I’ll describe the motivation and process we will be exploring this summer.

Caveats
I’m with the MIT Office of Educational Innovation and Technology (OEIT)I don’t work for MIT OpenCourseWareI *do* work with themSo, I don’t represent MIT OpenCourseWare
Also, I’m not making institutional commitments about MIT or MIT OpenCourseWare

MIT OCW is a Publication
MIT OpenCourseWare is a free publication of MIT course materials that reflects almost all the undergraduate and graduate subjects taught at MIT.OCW is not an MIT education.OCW does not grant degrees or certificates.OCW does not provide access to MIT faculty.Materials may not reflect entire content of the
course.

with OpenCourseWare…Wouldn’t it be great if

OEIT’s goals are to:Support MIT faculty Experiment, to show what’s possible (e.g., Web 2.0)Prototype tools and services
… all with MIT OCW course materials

Further MotivationsOEIT
Experiment with tools, content delivery
Internal to MITLots of internal discussions Increase use of MIT OCW for on-campus coursesExperiment with other LMS/VLEs
External to MIT Increase in OER and especially open course
development (Saylor Foundation saylor.org, Washington SBCTC Open Textbooks, etc.)
New models in certification (P2PU, KNEXT, etc.)

Open CourseWare Should facilitate rich interactivity with instructor, peers, and
content;
Must be of the highest pedagogical and technical quality, integrating effective teaching strategies and interactive technologies;
Should include clear student learning objectives and assessment strategies that monitor and review student success;
Must be standards-based to ensure they can be used broadly, yet be customizable to the needs of different learners/instructors (including persons with disabilities); [and]
Should be openly licensed to allow institutions and faculty to tailor to local needs and improve the courseware over time.

MIT OpenCourseWareServes a number of user groups:
Faculty looking to teach a new subject, to see how other faculty (esp. MIT faculty) teach courses
Students, at MIT and elsewhere, looking for resources to help them with a course
Independent learners
Is a publicationSnapshot of courses taught by a particular faculty in a
particular termHas whatever materials the faculty made availableTypically has slides and lecture notes, perhaps
assignments and exams.

MIT OCW Scholar Goals
Designed for independent learners who have few additional resources available to them.
The courses are substantially more complete than typical OCW courses and include new custom-created content as well as materials repurposed from MIT classrooms.
The materials are also arranged in logical sequences and include multimedia such as video and simulations.

Features of OCW Scholar Courses Modularized Content
With Quizzes
Includes Video
Includes link to OpenStudy groups
Good step, but pretty big concept chunks
Formative assessments, but static and in PDF format <- consistent with other MIT OCW materials
Link to specific time segments
Can ask a question and get an answer, but still not a “course”

Reusing Courses, or Teaching directly from OERs/OCWs
Questions of scale, and…
How much investment are you willing to undertake?
For example, MIT OCW, consistent with their mission takes a large investment to achieve the breadth, instead of focusing on all the other things that would make “Open CourseWare”
How much investment is necessary to create a “course” from the course materials?

Interactivity
“Should facilitate rich interactivity with instructor, peers, and content.”
I’m not sure about this one yet.
External OERs and learning objects?

High Quality
“Must be of the highest pedagogical and technical quality, integrating effective teaching strategies and interactive technologies.”Arguably, high quality alreadyBut, not designed for “teaching from…”Newly designed for “learning from…”Not especially interactive—but lots of resources out
there

Learning Objectives and Assessment
“Should include clear student learning objectives and assessment strategies that monitor and review student success.”Snapshot of course, with materials provided by
facultyBroadly speaking only engineering faculty have
somewhat detailed learning objectives (because of accreditation)
May or may not include assessments

Customizable
“Must be standards-based to ensure they can be used broadly, yet be customizable to the needs of different learners/instructors.”Arguably already broadly used, but room for
improvementTechnically hard to customize, because of how
materials are published (PDF)

What might the end result look like(for MIT)?
OCW Scholar + Collaboration + Assesments + Facilitators = Open CourseWare
Might be an ongoing instantiation of a massively open online course
Probably be able to import this Open CourseWare course into your LMS/VLE
