The Handbook of Open Teaching Practices translated into Spanish!

/in /by

The Handbook of Open teaching Practices, originally released in English, has been translated into Spanish by the Opengame consortium, with the special collaboration of Universidad de Salamanca students.

The OpenGame consortium collected 24 cases of real-life educators who are doing that, from teaching with open textbooks, to using wikis openly, to assess learners with the help of external stakeholders. For each of the 24 cases we have suggested how educators could replicate them, and which starting competences they would need in order to implement each specific practice. Also, we have collected these Open Education competences in a framework that presents the needed attitude, knowledge and skills to act as an Open Educator.

The OpenGame project is funded by the European Commission Programme Erasmus +, managed by the Spanish National Authority SEPIE, and coordinated by Universidad Internacional de la Rioja (UNIR).

Ever heard of open textbooks?

/in /by

Are you still using commercial textbooks?

Up to the 2017 academic year, the Psychology Foundation module on the Psychology Major Programme of Dublin City University (DCU) used a commercial textbook to compliment the online learning materials provided by the programme team. Life as usual.

 In the 2018 academic year a switch was made from this commercial textbook to an open textbook by the Canadian Edition Open Textbook Project: this textbook was selected because it was high quality in terms of content and structure, and was sufficiently detailed to replace the textbook that had been used. This simple choice has brought to zero the textbook cost for the module, eliminating any issues with students access because of cost or lack of access through the institutional library. Also, the success of this practice has opened the door to, and strengthened the case for, the replacement of commercial textbooks with open textbooks in other modules’ reading lists.

Do you want to know how the DCU team led by Dr James Brunton did it? Check out Practice 3.1 in the OpenGame Handbook of Successful Open Teaching Practices.

New report: “Open Education as a game-changer, stories from the pandemic”

/1 Comment/in /by

During the fifth Open Education Policy Forum, organised by Centrum Cyfrowe Foundation, with the collaboration of several institutions as Creative Commons, OE Global, SPARC, the Communia Association and the Slovenian Intellectual Property Institute, the study  “Open Education as a game-changer – stories from the pandemic” was presented to stakeholders.

Written with through the collaboration of  researchers from Poland, Italy, Greece, Uruguay, and Brazil, the report provides a comparative analysis of the role that Open Education has been playing in overcoming the educational crisis during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The analysis aims to gather information about the most interesting and influential Open Education initiatives which could inspire and hopefully permanently revolutionize remote education systems around the world. An important objective is to initiate a discussion on the role played by Open Education during the pandemic and to provide arguments to support public policymaking.
