SUMMARY:OER in the Curriculum: Teaching with Wikipedia
DESCRIPTION:This event will showcase best practice teaching with Wikipedia from working with course programmes at the University of Edinburgh over the last 7 years along with exemplars from other UK universities: https://open.ed.ac.uk/wikimedia-in-education/ \nYou will need to create a Wikipedia account in advance in order to take part. \nDemystifying the process behind such assignments\, attendees will have the opportunity to find out more about how assignments can be conducted in their own field. Too often Wikipedia is framed as something to be avoided\, to be “consumed at your peril”. At the University of Edinburgh we flip this on its head\, and see Wikipedia as learning technology\, reimagining it away from something passively consumed to something our staff and students can positively contribute to\, to improve global understanding on the most public of digital platforms as active engaged digital citizens\, and gain a lot from as a teaching & learning experience as a result. \nIn a recent survey 97% of instructors have said they would teach with Wikipedia again while Wiki Education assignments have also been shown to improve student writing and the learning & teaching within the curriculum.  Importantly\, students are motivated to communicate their scholarship in a real-world application of teaching & learning for an audience of not just one\, their tutor\, but a worldwide audience of millions. Sharing knowledge\, building understanding. For the common good. \nMain Programme: \n16.00-16.05 Housekeeping and Welcome. \n16.05-16.20 Setting up assignments. \n16.20-16.40 Editing practical and examples of past assignments. \n16.40-17.00 Creating a worklist of articles to create/edit. \n“Historically\, knowledge has been concentrated in the hands of the few. Marginalised groups’ histories and perspectives have been excluded by structures of power and privilege. Wikipedia revolutionises this model\, as the world’s largest\, free\, collaboratively-sourced encyclopedia.” (Wikimedia 2020) \nDuring the pandemic\, a time when many have felt disconnected and powerless\, this presentation will showcase stories of student empowerment; providing exemplars of how staff and students have engaged with\, and been motivated by\, researching and publishing their scholarship online in a real-world application of their teaching and learning. \nVenue: Room 1.08\, First Floor\, Main Library\, George Square (Central Area) \nBookings via Event Bookings \n  \n

SUMMARY:Open for Good: 10 years of open course development at Edinburgh University
DESCRIPTION:This public webinar will tell the story of how the University of Edinburgh has developed an open course creation workflow that has enabled us to shared 100 free short open course and over 1000 OERs over the last 10 years. \nIn 2013 the University of Edinburgh launched our first Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) in partnership with Coursera\, as part of our strategy to become a world leader in digital education. Ten years later\, we’ve built a diverse portfolio of 100 free short online courses\, covering everything from Astrobiology to Andy Warhol. We’ve developed partnerships with international education providers\, universities and cultural organisations\, and our courses have benefitted 4 million learners worldwide. \nTo ensure our courses are open\, sustainable\, and accessible to all\, openness is embedded in every step of the course creation workflow\, supported by a dedicated Online Course Production Service\, working closely with our OER Service. Underpinned by the core values of open education\, accessibility and quality\, the Online Course Production Service works in collaboration with academic partners to ensure all our open courses align with University strategy and the UN Sustainable Development Agenda. Over 1\,200 Creative Commons licensed media resources from these courses have been shared through our Open Media Bank where they can be accessed by learners in perpetuity\, and downloaded for remixing and repurposing by educators around the world. We also share our workflows and open practice through blog posts\, open pedagogy and learning design resources\, open policies\, and have created two open courses to share our expertise – How to Create an Online Course\, and How to Create Video for Online Courses. \nJoin our team of senior leaders\, learning technologists\, media producers\, instructional designers and open educators to hear the story of how we developed this unique open course development workflow and to discover what we learned along the way. \nSpeakers will include Stuart Nicol\, Head of Educational Design and Engagement; Fiona Buckland\, Online Course Production Service; Geoff Fortescue\, Media Production; Lorna M. Campbell\, OER Service; Lauren Johnston-Smith\, Online Learning Marketing. \nThis Open Education Week webinar is free and open to all.  \nRegister here via Eventbrite.
