<p><strong>Team</strong>: Chris Bourg, Curt Newton, Hunt Lambert, John Willinsky, Loic Tallon, MJ Bishop, Cable Green</p><p><strong style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Meeting #2:</strong></p><p><span>Breakout discussion 9/30: Cable, Curt, MJ, Willem</span></p><p><span>MJ: Why produce Open? Faculty really need good incentives and infrastructure to support this. e.g. OER analog for citation tracking, Willem's study of 10 schools with 39k students; e.g. "my OER simulation was adopted by ## classes impacting ## students" taken into account for Promotion and Tenure cases</span></p><p><span>Cable: OLI presentation by Candace, for 39 WA school presidents and provosts got leadership support; but when they take it back to their schools and faculty, not a single instance was implemented</span></p><p><span>Open Textbook Library - paid $250 for faculty to review these submitted books - $$ incentive!</span></p><p><span>Change in Higher Ed requires persistence more than anything else.</span></p><p><span>Willem - he's done an analysis of blended learning success / challenge factors, at micro- (faculty course) meso- (institute) macro- (national policy), could be relevant </span></p><p><span>MJ: On the ground perspective: for most faculty, the key Open Value Prop is “free textbook.” As the comm’l publishers appear to drop costs (via lease model etc), it gets harder to make the cost case. So we need a Big Bold Statement about Open Is More Than Just Free.</span></p><ul><li><p><span>Language translation </span></p></li><li><p>Etc...</p></li></ul><p><span>“You’re not interested in copyright until someone takes it away from you.”</span></p><p><span>Cable: pointing out how bad the status quo about curriculum development, was pathway to add CC BY requirement to all $5B of Dept of Labor funding of materials</span></p><p><span>Why so hard to make the case for Open is more than Free?</span></p><ul><li><p><span>MJ: functional fixedness - we don’t see the oppty in this new tool</span></p></li><li><p><span>Messaging about remix, reuse, building the commons, ML analysis of open stuff, continuous improvement</span></p></li><li><p><span>Academic freedom disincentivizes top-down direction</span></p></li></ul><p><span>Cable: OER reduces the “technical latency”</span></p><p><span>Tuning the Value Props to audiences</span></p><ul><li><p><span>Governments - commonwealth</span></p></li><li><p><span>EDUCAUSE - faculty</span></p></li><ul><li><p><span>Community colleges</span></p></li><li><p><span>Research institutions, oppty to create</span></p></li></ul></ul><p><span>Can we enlist, train, support, a network of ambassadors really good at having 1-1 conversations with faculty and decision makers? Meet each person where they are, understand what they value, scaffold it up toward understanding. Cable is doing something similar for 1000 members of the CC Open Edu to lobby their gov’ts for OER policy - support meetings, buddy system to help out</span></p><p><span>Willem: Embed (??) model - different levels of aspiration, and support for leveling people up</span></p><p><span>MJ: see EDUCAUSE Maturity Index</span></p><p><a href="https://sparcopen.org/our-work/howopenisit/"><span style="color: rgb(17,85,204);">https://sparcopen.org/our-work/howopenisit/</span></a><span> [below]</span></p><p><span><span><img class="confluence-embedded-image confluence-external-resource" draggable="false" height="259" width="624" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/nIfwMkIAJPGUys7WZE21QsInzW6y6bCZu5yPapbzI_l3JgH6jK5hOYAftGvF4c6jJ2St452xyrurp1FVVJbxqUSekx9k2UEZrLsbkdwz75QNlXlut3wYetTsUZSyo5CygsUGJfHu" data-image-src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/nIfwMkIAJPGUys7WZE21QsInzW6y6bCZu5yPapbzI_l3JgH6jK5hOYAftGvF4c6jJ2St452xyrurp1FVVJbxqUSekx9k2UEZrLsbkdwz75QNlXlut3wYetTsUZSyo5CygsUGJfHu"></span></span></p><p><span>BTW - Smithsonian person who attends edX Global Forum is very interested in Open (Jacquie Moen, VP online education - edX MOOC on Superman), could be a great contact and collaborator for this work.</span></p><p><span>GMMB hired by Hewlett to boil down nuanced OER comms into easily understood hooks → Free</span></p><p><span>How to message the Open Value Props?</span></p><ul><li><p><span>GMMB: lead with the positive, and stay there</span></p></li><li><p><span>Cable w Govt’s: here’s the status quo and how inefficient it is</span></p></li><li><p><span>Cable w K12 school: here’s status quo, curriculum way out of date with no rights for remix update, low income families won’t sign the textbook cost responsibility so increases inequality</span></p></li><li><p><span>Dave Ernst at MN OTL is a master at this, with data about specific school(s) he’s talking with</span></p></li></ul><p><em><u>Report-back discussion</u></em></p><p><span>Talking points:</span></p><ul><li><p><span>Access and Equity is a key value proposition</span></p></li><li><p><span>Faculty incentives and support</span></p></li><li><p><span>Messaging requires nimble 1:1 conversation - trained ambassadors that can meet people at what they value</span></p></li><li><p><span>Investments in people, in the support infrastructure (e.g. CC certificate)</span></p></li></ul><p><span>Hal: OER product placement in a movie, Kanye tweets about free textbooks, documentary about Paywall - can we get OER on Hasan Minhaj? Or John Oliver?</span></p><p><span>Sharon: Lofty goals, top # of high level goals that are like the SDGs? Colorful, simple, direct </span></p><p><span>How about something like Bill McKibben's Time Magazine climate essay - imagine looking back from 2050 at the decisions we made to get here, what the pathway was like</span></p><p><em><u>Preparation (MJ & Curt conversation before the meeting): </u></em></p><p>Do we have all the big questions on the table? For example, to what extent is Open a thing in itself, vs. an affordance or facilitation for bigger goals? And what are those bigger goals, that could motivate deeper engagement in Open?</p><ul><li>Is this an either/or ... or a both/and? We can (must?) open as a base to accomplish our bigger education / knowledge goals.</li></ul><p>We should consider value propositions by use case:</p><ul><li>Why <strong>produce </strong>Open? <ul><li>Open what? Content, research, data, policies, practices?</li><li>Because open is the best way to do science, education, data analysis for the public good.<br /><br /></li></ul></li><li>Why <strong>use (teach / learn) </strong>with Open?<ul><li>With open content (OER) or open practices? I think both - and there are different reasons for each.<br /><br /></li></ul></li><li>Why <strong>support </strong>the Open movement / field?<ul><li>Because: enter vision statements here.</li></ul></li></ul><p>See the comments after Meeting #1 for breakdowns of constituencies (for whom), flavors of open, timing (tiers)</p><p>Some suggested deliverables</p><ul><li>Project list or agenda, like a research agenda. For example: better discoverability infrastructure to support professional incentives for faculty to create OER</li><li>Strong statements of "This is what we believe." <ul><li>We should look to existing documents that have tacked similar questions:<ul><ul><li><a href="http://www.oerstrategy.org/home/read-the-doc/">http://www.oerstrategy.org/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.capetowndeclaration.org/">Cape Town Declaration</a></li><li><a href="http://www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MULTIMEDIA/HQ/CI/WPFD2009/English_Declaration.html">UNESCO 2012 OER Declaration</a> and <a href="https://creativecommons.org/2019/06/04/unesco-oer-recommendation-one-step-closer-to-adoption/">UNESCO OER Recommendation</a> (final vote in Nov, 2019)</li><li><a href="https://www.thecommonwealth-educationhub.net/oer/">Commonwealth OER Brief</a> (rationale for why Governments (as funders) should require open)</li></ul></ul><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;background-image: none;"><ul><li style="text-align: left;">7 Things You Should Know About Open Education: Content - <a href="https://library.educause.edu/resources/2018/6/7-things-you-should-know-about-open-education-content">https://library.educause.edu/resources/2018/6/7-things-you-should-know-about-open-education-content</a></li></ul></li></ul><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;background-image: none;"><ul><li>7 Things You Should Know About Open Education: Practices - <a href="https://library.educause.edu/resources/2018/7/7-things-you-should-know-about-open-education-practices">https://library.educause.edu/resources/2018/7/7-things-you-should-know-about-open-education-practices</a></li></ul><ul><li>7 Things You Should Know About Open Education: Policies - <a href="https://library.educause.edu/resources/2018/8/7-things-you-should-know-about-open-education-policies">https://library.educause.edu/resources/2018/8/7-things-you-should-know-about-open-education-policies</a></li></ul></li></ul></li></ul></li></ul><hr /><p><strong style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Meeting #1</strong><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">: Define key questions/considerations the Open 2020 Working Group should address. </span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Who is missing?
