  4. What is MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW)? MIT OpenCourseWare is a free publication of MIT course materials that reflects almost all the undergraduate and graduate subjects taught at MIT. IMPORTANTLY • OCW is NOTan MIT education. • OCW DOES NOT grant degrees or certificates. • OCW DOES NOTprovide access to MIT faculty. • Materials MAY NOTreflect entire content of the course. Source: http://ocw.mit.edu/about/

  5. MIT OCW Stats • 2000+courses published. • 146 million visits by 104 million visitors. • 1 million visits each month (Translations: 500,000 more). • Translations receive 500,000more. http://ocw.mit.edu/about/site-statistics/ * Updated 09/11/2012

  6. MIT OCW Audience MIT OCW audience is divided among: Source (accessed 19/04/2012): http://ocw.mit.edu/about/site-statistics/

  7. MIT OCW Uses MIT OpenCourseWareis being used for a wide range of purposes. • 80%rate OCW's impact as extremely positive or positive. • 91% expect that level of future impact. • 96% of educators say the site has/will help improve courses. • 96% of visitors would recommend the site. Source (accessed 19/04/2012): http://ocw.mit.edu/about/site-statistics/

  8. MIT OCW Development • An average of 100 hours effort to produce one course. • MIT faculty devote 5-10 hours for each course. • 12 publication staff work directly with the faculty. • 2 intellectual property staff. • 4 production staff support the publication team. • 5outreach and administrative staff manage communications, media relations, outreach, program evaluation, and OCW's sustainability. http://ocw.mit.edu/donate/why-donate/

  9. MIT OCW Cost • The total annual cost is about $3.5 million. • Cost per Non-video-based course: $10,000–$15,000 • Cost per Video-based course: $30,000 • For each course MIT OCW publish, they must: • Compile course materials from faculty; • Ensure proper licensing for open sharing; • Format materials for global distribution; • Sustain technical infrastructure (software/hardware network); and • Provide and support local mirror sites in bandwidth constrained regions.

  10. Revenue Cost http://ocw.mit.edu/donate/why-donate/

  11. MIT OCW Future • Projected that OCW reserves will run out in FY2014 without significant changes in their current funding model. • Challenge is to offset the loss of grant funds with substantial increases in revenues such as: • Donations • Endowments • Corporate sponsorships, and; • Alternative sources of revenue. Sorry, Just invested $1.5 Million in Khan Academy! http://ocw.mit.edu/donate/why-donate/

  19. When Creating OER We Need to Consider… • Usability • Durability • Accessibility • Effectiveness http://www.slideshare.net/Downes/speaking-in-lolcats-what-literacy-means-in-teh-digital-era

  20. Do you have an OER (Development) Policy? OER Guidelines: http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0021/002136/213605E.pdf Collection of institutions with OER policy: http://wikieducator.org/Exemplary_Collection_of_institutions_with_OER_policy

  21. OER Policy Development Toolkit Designed to help you review your own institutional policy environment and where necessary institute policy changes that will facilitate collaboration and the development and sharing of OER. http://www.oerafrica.org/understandingoer/ResourcesonOER/ResourceDetails/tabid/1424/mctl/Details/id/39083/Default.aspx

  29. OER Development Life Cycle The OER LIFE CYCLE begins with a desire or need to learn or teach something. The following sequence of steps illustrates a typical development process: Before finding and remixing OERs, set the course/module/topic aims and objectives (and course outline if possible). It might change as you develop, but it is good to have a starting destination (or map).

  30. OER Evaluation Tool? To help you determine the aspects of quality of OERs, Achieve has developed eight rubrics in collaboration with leaders from the OER community: • Degree of Alignment to Standards • Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter • Utility of Materials Designed to Support Teaching • Quality of Assessment • Quality of Technological Interactivity • Quality of Instructional Tasks and Practice Exercises • Opportunities for Deeper Learning • Assurance of Accessibility Simplify your OWN! http://www.achieve.org/oer-rubrics
