abstract = {Nach zwei Workshops und zwei Online-Veranstaltungen nehmen einige Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer nun noch die letzte Stufe in unserer Fortbildung zum/zur OER-Fachexpert*in: eine mündliche Prüfung zu einem selbst erstellten OER. Die Prüfungskommission besteht dabei immer aus mindestens einer Person aus unserem Projektteam sowie einem externen Prüfer, der bereits eine weitreichende Expertise im Themenfeld OER aufweisen kann.



So bekommen wir in diesen Tagen eine immense Vielfalt freier Lernmaterialien der Teilnehmenden zu Gesicht: Neben Arbeitsblättern und Checklisten sind auch Videos und ganze Online-Kurse entstanden. Einen guten Einblick dazu kann man im Forum der 2. Online-Phase erhalten, in denen die Teilnehmenden ihr OER und das dahinterliegende Konzept vorstellen.



Nach einer erfolgreich bestandenen Prüfung nehmen wir die frisch gebackenen OER-Fachexpertinnen und -Fachexperten in unsere „Hall of Fame“ auf, die sich in den nächsten Tagen sicher noch weiter füllen wird.},

abstract = {For a long time, continuing education has been dominated by a regime of intellectual property. Most learning materials have been restrictively licenced as they were seen as the (social) capital for trainers, coaches and other adult educators. 



This situation led to a strong barrier for the adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) in adult education contexts. Even though, OER offer immense potential for continuing education and even for self-employed trainers. Therefore, it is the main target of the project “OER Content-Expert” to explain basic principles and advantages of OER for this specific audience. 



Funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research, it is part of the program line to develop and implement trainings to sensitize multiplicators for OER in various educational settings. In particular, it is aimed at freelancer who have no or little prior knowledge about OER. Using a blended learning scenario, learners are introduced to the idea and possibilities of OER:

Kick-off: This is for a first introduction to OER in a 3h workshop taking place at one of 20 cities in Germany. 

First Online-Phase: A MOOC, lasting 8 weeks with a workload of approximately 3h/week.

Workshop: After learning the basics of OER, participants will work on an individual OER project at a workshop (2 days). 

Second Online-Phase: This is intended as a preparation for the examination and for the finalisation of the individual OER-project. 

Examination: A presentation of the individual OER-project is given in an online setting. An expert jury will provide feedback. The formal evaluation will, if the participant is successful, result in a certification. 



At the moment (October 2017), nearly 400 participants are enrolled in the MOOC and 61 have received a certificate.},

abstract = {The MOOC platform mooin is run by the University of Applied Sciences since 2015 to host self-produced MOOCs. In summer 2016, it was also opened up for external persons or institutions searching a platform to host their own MOOCs. What began with personal requests only has established in a fixed process, supported by an own “mooin Maker MOOC” as a tutorial for external MOOC makers. Until today and still in addition to self-produced MOOCs, more that 20 external MOOCs are published on mooin.



The presentation introduces the process from an exclusively self-used MOOC platform to one that is also open for third-party MOOC makers. In addition, the results of an online survey among the external MOOC makers tell more about their motivation and ressources, but also about their experiences with the MOOC platform mooin.},

abstract = {MOOCs provided by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have the potential to open up education to a wider audience. By implementing appropriate quality assurance measures, they could also provide a first creditable step into the formal higher education system. Exploring the potential of credentialization and recognition of MOOCs was a major pillar of the INTEGRAL²-project (“Integration and Participation of Refugees in the Context of Digital Teaching and Learning Scenarios”) of Lübeck University of Applied Sciences, RWTH Aachen University and Kiron Open Higher Education. The partners explored possible combinations of the openness of MOOC-based learning with quality assurance and examination approaches that abide to standards of the European Higher Education Area. 



Regarding quality assurance measures, Kiron has repurposed and adapted tools developed through the Bologna Process in order to explore new pathways to the recognition of prior learning. A core element are MOOC booklets (MOOklets) that connect and display all quality information needed for recognition in a comparable, standardized way.



As the university partners identified the existing exams within MOOC’s to be the most critical part in order to award legitimate credit points, the partners followed two different approaches: Module-based competence assessment (on- and offline) and MOOC-based examinations (offline). Lübeck University of Applied Sciences tested a procedure to verify learning outcomes by written and oral examinations whilst RWTH Aachen University targeted a more traditional examination approach with written and e-exams that can be taken simultaneously at different offline locations. In the follow-up project INTEGRAL+, the partners will focus on establishing a German examination network for e-assessment of MOOC-based learning. 



Both efforts in the field of a firm examinations and the endorsement of recognition processes of all existing and future university partners within the Kiron network can lead to simplified admission process and can be key enablers of a successful integration via education.},
