Part 2

Talks on: Open Data as Open Educational Resources

Leo Havemann: Birkbeck, University of London 
Javiera Atenas: University College London
William Hammonds: Universities UK


Notes

Tim - got students to build apps with open data - car parking data, worked with Tate
Tore - LACE, learning analytics, data sharing paper - on LACE site - data is becoming a learning resource - how can we make architectures so we can share data in a good way but still expose as open data

HI does anyone know of any instutions using a repository for open data (eg like CKAN) in order to host their research data that is being set up alongside an existing open access repository (eg. Dspace, ) - would be very interested to know of any examples - The DCC (http://www.dcc.ac.uk/) were keeping a list of all the UK institutional data repository set ups - might be work checking with them
Lincoln were using CKAN

I like the concept of open silos! Often they don't smell too good, so we need to fix that!

POERUP

For general information it may be useful to you know that we are just  starting a study project for the European Parliament on “Adult Education and OER  in the EU” (for which we seek input, though just 8 out of 28 EU countries will  be studied in any detail) and just finishing the final report on SharedOER   for the EU’s Joint Research Centre IPTS unit.  There is a bit more on the  wiki page http://poerup.referata.com/wiki/Beyond_POERUP

POERUP and Beyond will be attending OER15 (at least 4 papers on POERUP and  related topics) and hope to send someone to Open Education Global in Banff in  April where we just heard we have two papers accepted.


Community Session: Presenting the Open Education Handbook

Date: Thursday Dec 11, 2014 - 10.00-11.00AM UTC
Where: 
Google hangout - (to participate): https://plus.google.com/events/c5r4v67tst9k8be9as3p08i405k
Google Hangout on Air -  (to view): 
Facilitated and presented by: Christian Villum (Open Knowledge), Marieke Guy (Open Knowledge and Open Education Working Group co-ordinator), Rob Farrow (Open University)

Attendees: Martin Poulter, WikimediaUK
Jo Paulger - FLOSS manuals

    
Agenda
    
    

Do you have any questions you would like to be asked?
Hi I'd like to find out more about other resources available on this topic 

Mick Chesterman:
    
I would suggest creating a splash page for the manual like this one.     Which offers a quick way to download the book in epub, pdf - and     invites further contributions. 
http://collaborative-futures.org/
(Unfortunately, the link there for HTML points to booki.cc which is     no longer maintained. I'll try to find them to ask them to update     that link to here - http://flossmanuals.net/collaborative-futures/ )
    
 In terms of how the HTML pages are presented, a little bit of     scripting could create a themed version of the published manual.     What I mean by this is that some branding of the OKF or the writing project could be put into the header and footer of each chapter     page. 
    
This is how the civicrm community like to do things at      http://book.civicrm.org/ - They write on a booktype platform at     flossmanuals.net - but publish a themed HTML version with their own     URL. They are then able to keep older versions as an archive here.     http://book.civicrm.org/user/version/index.php

Wikibooks:
    
Wikibook edition of the handbook in progress here: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Open_education_handbook_2014
Wikibooks is
* a sister project to Wikipedia. User accounts on WP work on Wikibooks. Same editing interface.
* quieter than Wikipedia: no problem with trolls or hoaxers
* meant for manuals, how-tos, recipes and textbooks - less constrained than an encyclopedia
* able to support features such as PDF export  and within-book search
* like all Wikimedia projects, truly free: reusable by anyone for any purpose under CC-BY-SA
* massively multilingual. For example, Portugese version here: https://pt.wikibooks.org/
* connected to Wikimedia Commons: any of WC's 24 million open-content media files can be embedded in Wikibooks
Featured books section of Wikibooks already includes books on open educational practice, blended learning, Library ICT etc. : https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Featured_books
Process of importing book into Wikibooks has resulted in a list of minor errors such as typos. This will be available as a Google Doc to anyone who is hosting a version of the handbook.
Subsequent changes to the Wikibook can be monitored through the Watchlist feature of the wiki, or machine-readably via the API.

Wikibooks wants:
* Other books/manuals licensed compatibly (CC-BY-SA or CC-BY) that can be imported.
* Editors/proofreaders : just create an account, read the books and correct any errors you find.
* Illustrators: find an existing image on Wikimedia Commons to illustrate a Wikibook page, or upload freely-licensed images to Commons.
* Other communities who want to collaboratively build a book reflecting current knowledge on any topic (could be a group of students on an assignment).

NB: Wikibooks content is supposed to be descriptive "how-to", not a catalogue of web sites. Some OE Handbook sections are mainly links lists, but I advise against that style.

Part 2

Invited talks
Notes



Marco gave talk on possibilites of open data use in schools for teaching (http://www.slideshare.net/mfioretti/open-data-in-and-from-schools) - Collecting and using open data as part of normal school work - using open data in school for raw materials eg. figures from open corporates. Marco explained that currently schools teach with data but it is old data or made up data out of text books, possibly on a scanned PDF. It is not reuseable data, it rarely raises the interests of children - and is doing nothing to improve interest of young people in politics or future government. This means that many young peope don't care about activism. Marco argued that this was different from expecting teachers to learn programming, teaching stats is something they are already doing.
Marco has explored these ideas in a workshop at  GD Camp in Warsaw. He has now started to collect practical examples on the topic - how teachers can begin to use open data through example lesson plans etc. This is something teachers have to do anyway! 
Javiera - is really important, and also for universities to start releasing data so academics can reuse that as real data for students understanding complex problems
also.... what about school of data using open data as examples, for example on understanding budgeting. Other aras working in this space: School of Open, Webmaker Training

The discussion in the chat considered that this relates to having learners work on real world problems by contributing - citizen science activities. Mozilla carry out interest based learning, so the learners define what is important to them and then learn web literacy competencies and skills from that lens. References included  Moneythan ? Spaghetti Forks? Issues identified were teachres being too busy and feeling incompetent in this area. Discussion on possible project proposal ideas related to supoorting teachers.

Javiera introduced the issue of Creative Commons resources being mainly only available in English. Would like to see co-ordinated translation of resources. 
She would love to be able to just switch flags and have the page available in other languages
Question of if the translations are already there - 
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/CC/
http://creativecommons.org/choose/
School of Open, Webmaker Training
Duolingo has learners translate the web while learning a new language. So people are effectively contributing to open translation efforts. 

Bernard talked about Lyon Declaration and its implication on the post 2015 education (http://www.lyondeclaration.org). 
The Lyon Declaration is an advocacy document that will be used to positively influence the content of the United Nations post-2015 development agenda. It was drafted by IFLA and a number of strategic partners in the library and development communities between January and May 2014.  Government of Rwanda is considering an open education policy
Bernard are you in contact with OLE Rwanda? www.olerwanda.org

Part 2




Meeting Notes & Action Items


Standardisation discussion - where should more informal discussion take place re: standards and IPR?
Not very easy to decide on appropriate angle  - how do we engage the stakeholders who have influence in this field - lot of thinking

Question to ponder on: What would be the aspect of standards that are closest to the heart of OER / Open Education enthusiasts - and that would bring the discussion on open standards forward? Data sharing of LA data? Metadata description of OERs? IPR descriptions (well, that one is done via CC?)....

Talks

Aspects to be discussed from Martin's presentation

a. LA applications (as he showed example of) as OER - how to make them available for students and their parents (for school apps)
b. What are the data to be shared from these apps?

Notes

I (Suchith Anand) would like to send apologies for not being able to attend today's meetings . I would like to update on plans to organise "Building up Open Access and Open Education for Open Science" on Sep 2nd 2014 in parellel to OSGIS 2014 at the University of Nottingham.  This is inspired from the Building up Open Science for Future challenges meeting i attended in Warsaw earlier this week where i presented on Open Geospatial Science developments (which integrated the synergies between the various Open communities- Open Data, Open Standards and Open Source). We would like to build upon these experiences to bring together synergies in Open Access and Open Education for further building up Open Science. I will update on this in the next meeting and also through our maillists. I am looking forward for strong participation from the Open education community.

Agenda

Part 1

Opportunity for attendees to introduce themselves and give a brief overview of the open education related project and activities they are involved with. You don’t have to speak if you don’t want to, there’s no pressure. But if you have something you’d like to share then this will be the time.

Part 2

  1. Review of previous minutes
  2. Working Group structure: advisory board - update, membership list, invited speaker at calls?
  3. Brainstorming: current high-level open education goals, then existing (and active) initiatives, then discuss the gaps to clarify working group purpose
  4. Open education Week - What are you up to? 
  5. Not a lot of interest - public not knowledgable about it - too much 
  6. OKFest - what are you up to?
  7. Tools -  Andre Jaenisch

Meeting Notes & Action Items

Introductions to all attendees

Advisory Board members

Plans to create a mailing list for members. Members of the Open Education Working Group Working Group are publicly listed individuals who volunteer time to evangelise about open data, content and/or knowledge in the Open Education field. Members coordinate the activities of the Working Group with the support of the Open Knowledge Foundation community team. 

Open education Week - What are you up to?  ELOGeo is activily involved for this http://www.openeducationweek.org/the-elogeo-repository/  
Discussion around #openeducationwk - tto many activities? Webinars not well attended, need to bring others beyond open community

Key activity areas: 

Tools based on discussion: https://twitter.com/AndreJaenisch/status/435790145074106371

Agenda for next time: Would like us to focus on a couple of activity area/ issues - individuals can offer input statements (couple of minutes) on some of the topics.

Part 2

  1. Brief introduction to the Open Education Working Group - history, what we are, what we are trying to do
  2. Working Group structure: advisory board, members? Take a look at the Charter http://education.okfn.org/charter/ - any comments?
  3. Working Group activities: next steps for the handbook, projects we could get involved with, what do you want to do in 2014?
  4. Working Group Calls: Time of calls e.g. The monthly calls of the Working Group on Open Education are at every 1st Thursday / month at 17:30 GMT / 18:30 CEST / 12:30 EST - can reschedule if necessary - or should they be adhoc?? Chairing.
  5. Ideas for responsibilty borrowed from the Open Science Working Group:


Suggestions for alternates to Google Hangouts from Andre Jaenisch
For this one, it may be too late. But maybe, alternatives like Palava.TV
(https://palava.tv/info/how) in combination with Together.JS
(https://togetherjs.com/) can be used. I'll have to check it out, to
make a better/more concrete suggestion. Hence I'll look after finding
time to watch the records afterwards
