Mal angenommen, wir bräuchten diese Frage nicht politisch diskutieren, dann bestünde dennoch das Problem, dass es zum Bereitstellen der Inhalte eine geeignete Infrastruktur braucht. Das fällt aber in die Zuständigkeit der Bundesländer, daher sind hier alle auf einem sehr unterschiedlichen Stand.

abstract = {Session Description

All over the world, a multitude of mostly grassroot initiatives have emerged to enable, promote and support the use of OER. Despite the heterogeneity and fragmentation of these different initiatives, the actors are united in their striving for a stronger implementation of OER in everyday education.



If we want the idea of OER to become widespread, it would be foolish if everyone had to develop all resources by themselves. Thus, it would be useful to join efforts and provide these resources and services to the OER community via an appropriate infrastructure.



For this purpose, we would like to briefly present our recent platforms, tools, and services developed for (but not limited to) the OER community in German-speaking countries. Afterwards, we are looking forward to a lively discussion on further experiences and ideas on the question, to what extent we can strengthen the rather decentralized OER topic by such joint(ly) approaches for the open education community, i.e. beyond the German-speaking community.



# Background

In 2016, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research startet a funding program to spread the idea of OER by recruiting multipliers from diverse audiences. “JOINTLY” is one of these projects, led by edu-sharing network, Technische Hochschule Lübeck (University of Applied Sciences), GWDH and iRIGHTSinfo. The project supports multipliers in their cooperation. This takes place on the one hand through events for the sharing and expansion of knowledge and for the joint development of ideas, solutions and OER materials. On the other hand, through the joint design and testing of IT tools and infrastructures that facilitate practical cooperation and, last but not least, through information about the legal framework of OER, which is essential for sustainable cooperation.



So what are OER multipliers looking for? Since the end of 2016 we have been working on this question and have already come up with some first solutions:

The OER content buffet can be seen as the heart of JOINTLY: Concepts, summaries, material, templates and tools that can be reused for further OER transfer projects and modified for specific audiences.

The OER Tool Playground is a testing environment for tools that promote the creation, use and dissemination of OER. Mature results are offered via the OER content buffet.

Further information services include the series of booklets on the subject of legal issues relating OER production as well as guidelines for decision-makers.

In addition, JOINTLY has developed and refined cooperation events. In working groups, workshops, think tanks and hackethons, not only the OER content buffet and the OER tool playground were developed and improved with a larger community, but also smaller solutions such as the CC mixer were born there.



After the first phase of the project until September 2018, we were successful with a second project proposal. Until 2020 we will proceed with our work for the German OER community. One of our next goals is also to take even greater account of international developments in the context of OER and to network with these actors.



JOINTLY is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (funding ID: 01PO18011C).

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 = {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.},

A recent review of OER-related activities in Germany on behalf of UNESCO (Orr, Neumann, Muuß-Merholz 2017, 8) found: “Since OER activities are mostly driven bottom-up, there has been a need for sharing questions, experiences and materials between players, who have been isolated in their own institutions. These players found opportunities for sharing in cross-sector events and communities. Especially the barcamp/unconference format turned out to fit tremendously well developing a strong German OER community. Indeed, Germany so far has seen a remarkably strong cross-sector community with common interest in OER.”



Barcamps open up new and contemporary formats for learning based on openness, sharing, personal meaning, participation and equality. They are the appropriate format of education for a time in which we are depending on not only transferring fixed knowledge but also co-creating new knowledge. Barcamps are about sharing, discussing, negotiating solutions for a world in change. Barcamps are one way of transforming education through open approaches from bottom-up.

abstract = {The Ljubljana Action Plan 2017 puts a strong emphasis on “high quality” of OER (UNECO 2017), that is not a trivial issue when it comes to education (Ehlers 2009). The German “OER awards” aim at new ways of discussing and promoting OER.



Though Germany has been a latecomer to the OER scene, there is a strong OER community now (Orr, Neumann, Muuß-Merholz 2017). To promote the idea and the sharing of OER in German-speaking regions, there have been OER awards in early 2016 and in November 2017.



Overview

The OER awards highlight the efforts of OER practitioners in more than 10 categories. Furthermore, there was an audience award in 2016 that was linked to a funding for the best OER idea, that must be realized with the prize money, and special awards by the jury in 2016 and 2017 without submission options.



Criteria

A special focus was set on the elaboration of definitions for requirements and criteria. Contributions must be



- Open as described in the Open Definition (published by Open Knowledge International).

- Educational as in “designed for educational purposes”.

- Resource in the sense of “delimitable and transferable”. This explicitly includes software and concepts.

- German, i.e. in German language or (!) predominantly developed in a German language country.



In 2017 the following criteria were used for assessment:



- temporal relevance (must date from later than early 2016)

- participation and collaboration in the making

- didactic quality, innovative pedagogical settings

- licencing

- range, use, impact

- potential for actual reuse

- quality development and quality assurance

- technical quality

- X-factor (wild card for positive qualities not covered in the criteria mentioned above)



Quality of the content regarded from a subject perspective was NOT among the criteria.



It should be noted that these criteria were developed in an open and collaborative process among a jury of OER experts. All steps of the election processes were organized online as the jury never met before the ceremony. Supported by a moodle course and a set of Google Documents and Formulas, the process was adapted to the several steps and needs of the jury.



Outline of the Session

In our presentation we will give an overview on the idea and the process behind the OER award and show some statistics and figures. A special focus will be set on the community driven work within the “oer academy” in which the process, the criteria and the selection of awardees are discussed openly. Showcasing awarded projects will NOT be part of the presentation. We will instead focus on the question how an award can contribute to promoting the idea and the sharing of OER.

The documentation with collaborative text documents, blogging, podcasts etc. are mostly shared under a CC BY licence. The organisers also provide templates for documentation and planning under CC BY.



Barcamps provide a radical “Open to all” approach by lowering the barriers by removing participation fees and any formal requirements, fostering cross sectoral collaboration, encouraging volunteering and peer to peer support for participants, facilitate ways of participation via digital media. Barcamps aim to be truely inclusive events.



In this presentation we will give an overview on these characteristics. We would also like to encourage the participants to discuss how they can bring open conferencing to their home turfs.
