         <title>Openness as cultural awareness, technical awareness, Economic awareness and more (Suzanne PBL16)</title>
         <author></author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The motivation to make education open for everyone is a noble motivation, but as is stated in the video - there are "Things" lurking in the shadows of the open space. Access is one of them. During the Covid-pandemic underprivileged communities struggle With Access to the internet because of poor or no band width. Families With only one device that has to be shared among the Whole Family also have extremely Limited Access. Maybe the one device is an early model smart phone that download coursematerials. So when talking about "open Access" we have to think about the receiving end - what are the technical requirements to Access the open resource? Another aspect can be language and also cultural References in learning materials. If you have never experienced Norwegian brown cheese, any Reference I make to it in my course material will be meaningless to you. Likewise a course that intends to be relevant for a global audience needs to be sure that the visual prompts, literature and metaphors used in the materials carry the intended meaning to the global audience. Another issue, related to awareness, is credibility - how does a student know that the course material is valid? Among the many threats on the internet is the presence of fake universities - some of these even claiming affiliation with legitimate universities. Accessibility , I assume, is limited for both teachers and students With special needs may be excluded from open Access courses, due to the lack of universal design in course design, and tools used for designing courses.<br>Finally a thought that I have to mull over abit more: While in a guided course like ONL202 there is little heirarchy and an emphasis on co-creating, I wonder if in many open courses a Clear heirarchy - especially if the Class is not interactive - is necessary. Certainly if i were to take an open access course on anatomy I would not want to be co-creating knowledge, I would want an expert to be guiding me. Even in a more fluid knowledge area, say sociology, I would expect to be in a place where a teacher IS an expert. There is something to be said for being humble about what you do and do not know, and seeking to be With people who know more than you do in order to learn.</div>]]></description>

         <link>https://padlet.com/alacre/ONL202topic2/wish/819195395</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>While I inherently agree (from at least an ethical standpoint) that open Ed is a desirable goal, I disagree with the suggestion that whatever pedagogies I create must be "accessible" to all.<br><br>By that, I mean my primary obligation is to my current students (i.e., at NUS).<br><br>And since I aspire to demonstrate the real-world relevance of what THEY are learning &amp; doing (e.g., via authentic assessments), it makes no sense to globalise my teaching.<br><br>In reality, most of my students will make their mark on the world on our little red dot. And if you don't know what that means, that just illustrates my point. Because "little red dot" is more than just a moniker - it's a concept that links to how Singapore views itself and is viewed by other nations.<br><br>Exploring the phenomenon of kiasuism, talking about NParks, catering to the foodies in all Singaporeans (and SE Asians)... these things engage my students.<br><br>So, while I might be happy to share my pedagogy online (and I already do that), I refuse to tweak it so that it loses cultural relevance.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I always thought being open is a great idea to go in education. The more you share, the more you gain. However, those limitations that was mentioned in the podcast kind of pull me back and rethink what can I share?

         <title>Thanks for your introduction! Openness and transperancy is interested and necessary I think, it makes the world more connecting, geographic smaler and we can learn more easy from each other and it open up our ways of thinking about anything. But, I saw the Netflix film (Social dilemma) yesterday evening and I had some thougts in my mind which I didn´t could put away before the sleep took over. I´m I supposed to always have in mind that there are algoritms behind everything which in somehow are for good outcomes but could be used for bad outcomes if you want that. People are good and honest everyday a week but thats not true, I know it and you know it. </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I want to say I am open to share everything anytime but I realize listening to Kiruthika Ragupathi that I´m not as open as I thought. When someone ask me to teach I willingly share but to start a blogg/vlogg/podcast and give my knowledge I have difficulties with. Not that I´m not willing to give but because I think everybody already know what I know so why should I give. What I now understand that could mean I´m not open, or?<br>As you understand I am very willing to share everything with my students and those that ask me but I do not just share out in the digital universe not knowing who might read it or listen to it.<br>I use open educational resources when I need new knowledge to be able to do my work even though I´m often curios about new pedagogical tools.<br>My challenge being open is that you can be misunderstood and criticized. How do you overcome that is a question I would love to discuss and get others perspective on.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <link>https://padlet.com/alacre/ONL202topic2/wish/821481494</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think about challenges in different ways. One consideration concerns copyright. If I were to develop my teaching materials that I have today for regular campus courses to be used completely openly, what do I need to think about then?<br>Another challenge concerns the financial side of university education. We get paid based on the number of students who apply in the national system, are registered and take the course. Giving courses quite openly needs to follow a different form of financing, I guess. In other words I see economy here as a barrier to go open.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Your question is very "open"... Open education in your sense is based on different pedagogical models as you pointed to. I  use such models successfully. <br>2. Just few and just the necessary... not much exchange and  opportunities around me. <br>3. I learned from the video that there are a lot of them, use them very little - but that will be changed! <br>4. Most interesting question! Please see the other pink box from me. I hope we discuss this. <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>The green open field (Malin PBL15)</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The image of the green open field immediately<br>made me think of how a space, digital or analogue, can be so open that it becomes uninteresting. Common spaces in the city can sometimes have this open emptiness about them. They need to be suitable for anyone, so the become bland to everyone. When I weigh what to post in an open forum, there might be some aspects that I leave out for different reasons. Some aspects might as well stay outside the open forum, but some aspects might be left out in the process of adjusting to "one size fits all". Is it possible to mediate the possibility of an openness that allows personality, diversity and complexity as well as validity and generic?</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Mehtap PBL11<br>I think the greatest opportunity with openness is the "accessibility: regardless from your location &amp; free of charge"... From the humanitarian side , this brings equality for education between wealthy and unpoverty. Whoever wishes to have the knowledge, they can get it... However the challenge is "internet access".  There are still millions of people in the world who has no internet access. I think the greatest challenge of the "openness" is not having internet.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The word free has at least two meanings. It could mean "without cost" or it could associate to freedom.<br><br>If someone offers <strong>free beer</strong> he probably means without cost.<br><br>If someone talks about <strong>free press</strong> she probably talks about freedom, human rights and values associated to that.<br><br>So we have to distinguish between "free as in free beer" and "free as in freedom"<br><br>Then we have to define what freedoms should be associated to education and education materials. Use? Copy? Share? Change? Share the changed version? <br><br>And if "change" is an important freedom, what do you need to change a material without reinventing the wheel.<br><br>The word "open" tends to be even more open to interpretations ;-)<br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Openness lives on sharing, but also om getting something back. Learning from the Open Source software one need to create a community to get really successful. Lots of users finding and reporting "bugs" and fellow developers submitting corrections to the bugs and new features. Often also people who creates arts and  graphics, runs the web-site, answers questions from users, makes translations, runs a forum writes instructions and stuff like that. <br><br>How does that translate to educational materials? Are teachers worse leaders then software geeks?</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In my academic practice, I understood openness in relation to research dissemination. Hence, openness relates to publishing papers in open access journals, and considering other spaces and formats with free access to share results, like a policy brief, a blog or social media. Then,  questions of openness and its limitations are more related to who or how to pay the fees for open access journals, or how open is my research if the results are shared in English, even if I do research in latin America, Spain and Sweden. Whether my teaching practice is open or not is a question I never thought of! I guess the conceptualisation of openness and its limitations are very different. In teaching, you might start questioning problems of authorship, sharing content, potential conflicts with institutional guidelines and, on the students' side, accessibility, vulnerabilities of the learning process and place sensitivity, this is, if what I am teaching makes sense for the student's local context (I teach economic and human geography)</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>When watching the video and listening to the pod two questions emerged in my mind:<br><br>1. What does open means and what implications it has from different perspectives? In the video, you explored the point of view of the learners and the teachers. What about the institutions that we as teachers are employed in? What about the local and national governments? Other stakeholders? How their perceptions differ as well as the value that open education could create for them? What are the different incentives, opportunities and challenges from each of those perspectives? <br><br>2. Isn't it openness just an elusive thought and idea? Openness in relation to education, in my mind at least, is in most cases enabled by technology. This automatically means open education is not so inclusive as we might be tempted to believe. People that do not have the skills or access to technology will not be able to access those resources anyway. So how can we access those groups to make the idea of open education even more inclusive than it is now? <br><br>Overall, don't we need a system change in order to make open education really work on a larger scale?</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>At my institution we practice a co-teaching as the main form of teaching courses. This is fantastic for various reasons, especially when sharing responsibilities across the courses. However, when it comes to agreeing to what extent we are open with our materials, it presents challenges and it is difficult to agree. To keep a unified message, we often have to follow the more "conservative" approach to sharing, otherwise it is clear who doesn't want to share. This is disappointing. Are there any tools to convince others to be more open whan sharing our content?</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It seems to me that "open" requires that one is "open-minded". If you go open you need to prepared for, and even cherish, new ideas and new perspectives. You  need also to be prepared for challenging views -and maybe have a plan for how to handle very unwanted comments.<br>Is it always the case that the balance is positive -that you gain more benefits in terms of new insights than you loose in countering challenges? Are there organisations that have withdrawn from "open"?</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>First short answers to the first three questions: I mainly share with colleagues, but I don't use much open educational resources myself. <br>Opportunities and challenges: I agree with many others that if feels good to make education available and free for ethical reasons, but yes, we still have unequal access to technology in this world. And even with internet access, aren't digital literacies (or the absence of these) a source of inequality in this context again?<br>I also believe that for many students, part of their motivation to learn comes from belonging to a group, to have been selected for a course or a program, to "be chosen" and to matter in this context. I believe, also many teachers enjoy the interaction with the students, that they can see their impact on the students. How do these experiences change e.g. in a MOOC? Aren't the students more alone and anonymous? Do we then have more drop-outs, and as Lena writes, do students perform less well? What ways are there to deal with this/to still allow teachers and students to connect and belong? </div>]]></description>

         <link>https://padlet.com/alacre/ONL202topic2/wish/830301893</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>At bachelor and master level, students progress through courses, where each course requires that the learner has taken some other courses in order to be able to utilize what they will learn in the current course. As an example, a fundamental course I give (in year 3) requires students to have done math and physics courses before they can do my course. And in turn, this fundamental course is a requirement in order to do the next courses within my subject (year 4 and 5). Offering these courses as open courses would have a very limited number of learners that would be able to apply (except those admitted to the programme). <br>- Is it possible to have knowledge and skills requirements for those who apply for an open course? <br>- Is it possible to offer advanced courses as open courses?</div>]]></description>

However, open education aims to share ‘creating educational resources’ among educators. It makes me think how I can re-define the role and responsibility of educators in open education, and how I can contribute to the community more meaningfully as educator.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think that openness is all about transparency and the knowledge that you as an educator (or learner for that matter) do not own the truth. You rather contribute to finding new questions and new answers in a world that is constantly changing. Openness is also about equality. Making it possible for everyone, not only the one who can afford studying at an expensive university, to learn and be a part of development. Openness is also about generosity. It is about sharing and giving the things you can never own because you are grateful that you have had access and possibilities  in life (cognitive skills, resources, education etc.). Of course we also need to talk about the dark side and the necessity of critical thinking and stealing others work etc.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I'm all for openness in education. Education is sharing knowledge, helping others learn. From preschool, we teach children to share and to help each other. In secondary and tertiary education, we see older students acting as mentors for younger ones, sharing their knowledge, and helping them with study-related as well as subject-related skills.<br><br>In Sweden, we also have the  liberal, non-formal and voluntary educational system, consisting of folk high schools and "studieförbund", or adult educational associations, based on sharing knowledge in groups.  They receive financial support from the state, regions, and municipalities, with he purpose to strengthen and develop democracy, giving people the possibility to affect/improve their situation, overcome education gaps, and to increase participation in cultural life. This democratic aspect is much stronger than the one mentioned in the Higher Education Act. The educational resources used in the "study circles" are often open ones, accessible for anyone, or are made within the study group.<br> <br>In my opinion, the formal educational system can learn a lot from the non-formal one. What could be better than a society where all members are educated, and willing to share their knowledge with others? Educated citizens are likely to make more informed and well-considered decisions (in theory at least). And using openness in education would be one (rather easy) way to help create a more equal society.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Equality (or equity) in received education is something close to my heart and so I approached topic 2 with much excitement. Theoretically, and ethically, I believe we must strive for openness in education and knowledge dissemination. In this respect, the video was very inspiring. <br>Yet I also struggle to fit this ideal in the current framework of how others (beyond my sphere of influence) can take any material out of context. While Creative Common Licenses can offer some protection, realistically, one expects that any information that is published online may be used for unintended purposes. I think moving forward, the real question is, how to curate material in ways that achieve the noble ideal of open education but are resistant against  unintended uses.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Susanne, PBL 14. <br>After doing some reading and watching I find this topic really challenging. I have no experience of open education except for this course and googling between open sources, but share my thoughts, knowledge and experience with students and colleagues in different forms/modes within the university’s platforms. If going open in a wider sense I wonder how to cope with EU’s web accessibility directive meaning that all people independent of disabilities should be able to access the information on the web site. From the 23<sup>rd</sup> of September 2020 all web sites in the public sector should answer to the legal requirements for accessibility. There also need to be an accessibility report where they clarify what parts of their website or apps that are not accessible for whom and why. What are the rules for using other platforms for publishing “knowledge products” such as you-tube etc., or arranging open education platforms such as MOOCs?</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think I am kind of open to sharing what I know, and It is somewhat hard to be in education while not willing to share. The whole story behind the education is giving and taking. You gain more through discussion and sharing. I would like to share my research findings on ResearchGate that can be available for more people, not just those who have access to a specific closed database. It would be beneficial for me to see people´s reflections and got some ideas to improve my work. On the other hand, there are hot discussions on copyright and legal issues related to sharing the materials. The question would be: should/can we put the copyright in our educational resources at all? <br><br></div><div>I see that the validity of the materials that are shared might be a problem as well. Like the Internet, where you must be careful to distinguish the fraud from the sincere, you must always trust the resources you are using; I have no idea how it must be done when it reaches education. So, the main concern here is: how can we trust the materials?      <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Openness and sharing (Heidi PBL3) </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think I am quite open and glad to share all my teaching material if it helps somebody. My main concern is that I accidentally share something that I shouldn´t share. That somehow somebody gets access to my students' essays or work. So my Moodle pages have been closed for that reason. Instead, I am trying to work with my team and colleagues from other teams to share ideas and materials, etc. So I am not as open as I would like to be.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Different angles of openness (Hossein, PBL 02)</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Openness refers to transparency, which is usually seen as accessing to information freely. However, in practice, I think openness should be applied and seen from a wider perspective. Openness should be considered at two major levels, which are (i) content or information, and (ii) raw data.<br><br></div><div>Openness in higher education and research requires a higher level of transparency. Students and researchers should have the opportunity to assess and evaluate the work. This means that the raw data should be accessible to the community in order to validate the correctness. This provides more trust to the reader as the content without justifications is usually insufficient.<br><br></div><div>In computer science, students should be allowed to access open-source software and source codes to redo other works. This is highly important when it comes to enhancing other works as the benchmark should be available. Most publishers do not add this restriction on authors to publish their source codes, but I think this is one of the major indicators for evaluating the correctness of the results.<br><br></div><div>Based on my personal experience, publishing the raw data and source codes is very appreciated by different communities as more students will have the possibility of benefiting from the published work. Any higher education course should follow the same strategy to students have the right to access information at different levels.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Open Ed and student&#39;s wellbeing (Therése, PBL12)</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Covid-19 has recently made a tremendous change when it comes to use of online education and for example use of pre-recorded lectures. This change has for certain been of good for many student´s e.g. students with attention deficit disorders that normally struggle to be focused for longer time hence have difficulties to follow longer lectures or concentrate in a "noisy" environment.</div><div><br></div><div>I am generally very positive to Open Ed and Open ED Resources and am using it for my own personal development, and would be positive to use it in my teaching. However, I don´t think Open Ed is the golden solution to everything. There is still a lot of work to be done when it comes to things like quality assessment and security. <br><br></div><div>However, one of my biggest concern, not so much with Open Ed but as with online learning as such, is the lack of IRL social interaction. How does this affect the well-being of the students? There are for instance reports of increased psychological load and decreased well-being of students having remote (online) education during covid-19 (e.g. Durako &amp; Hoxha, 2020). I think, adding online education to the already high number of hours per day that a person spend online, must come with a cost in terms of health issues. This trend worries me. </div>]]></description>
