Two UBC faculty members who are creating and participating in innovative open projects and courses, include: M101 – a localized, open online course on mobile education that is designed as knowledge asset and professional network Why Open? – a facilitated and collaborative course that explores the different meanings of open in various industries as well as the benefits and issues with open #ooe13 – an open professional development course on educational technologies DS106 – an open, online course on digital storytelling that is hosted by the University of Mary Washington and that is currently being offered as a “headless” version this term with volunteers in charge of facilitating particular weeks during the course ETEC522, PHIL102, Arts One & More – on campus courses which are incorporating student blogs, wikis, backchannels and more In addition to hearing their stories, the session explores the motivations, experiences, and challenges in embracing open. They discuss the impact openness has on their pedagogy and use of technology as well as explore how to determine if these efforts meet the instructors goals and improve the student experience.

Overview ? On sabbatical 2012-2013, I took a couple of open online courses? ? Which led to me helping to facilitate a couple of open online courses? ? And the benefits of online discussions and collaborations made me wonder?why don?t I open up my on-campus courses too? Connectivist (M)OOCs  (term introduced by Stephen Downes) ? Major focus is on developing connections between participants to promote learning from each other, including after the course is finished ? Instructors facilitate connections rather than acting as the main, centralized sources of knowledge ? Participants create their learning goals and decide their own paths through course ? Course is distributed in various places on the web (though often with a central hub of info)  See, e.g.  http://is.gd/K5JfXK     http://is.gd/hZfG4d   http://is.gd/DEqD1U   From Dave Cormier?s video on MOOCs: http://is.gd/cQwOSP https://sites.google.com/site/themoocguide/ http://connect.downes.ca/ http://eci831.ca/ http://cck11.mooc.ca/ http://mobimooc.wikispaces.com http://www.connectivistmoocs.org/ http://blogs.leeward.hawaii.edu/teachonline/ https://mslocopen.wordpress.com/ Online instruction for open educators  http://wideworlded.org/ online-instruction-for-open-educators/ http://www.effets-durables.org/ ETMOOC (Jan-March 2013) http://etmooc.org Open Online Experience 2013-2014 (OOE13) http://www.ooe13.org/ ds106 http://ds106.us Current ds106: ?headless? http://ds106.us/2013/07/21/fall-2013-the-headless-ds106-syllabus/ Why open?
