Woodward/Flickr\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"dropcap-serif\">The promise of using technology in school technology has been to give students more control over their learning, while helping teachers provide tailored instruction to individual student needs. \"Personalized learning\" has been the common rhetoric driving most one-to-one device initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stated goal is to make learning more of an individual experience, but many schools have chosen to implement technology programs in fairly regimented ways -- for lots of different reasons. Many schools want all students to have the same kind of device, with the same apps pre-downloaded. Students often have little choice over which tools they can use on their devices. Even for online research, many schools \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2011/04/straight-from-the-doe-facts-about-blocking-sites-in-schools/\" target=\"_blank\">filter out useful websites\u003c/a> like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, making it harder and more restrictive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools have many reasons for wanting to systematize the technology in schools: to ensure equity for all students, the ability of IT department to support the devices, and to comply with federal laws. Most schools are working with limited technology budgets and IT directors are trying to decide how to get the most out of those limited dollars. At the same time, they’re\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/12/in-the-rush-to-buy-new-tech-for-common-core-what-happens-to-the-big-picture/\" target=\"_blank\"> being bombarded by tech vendors\u003c/a>, feeling pressure to keep up with new changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though all these reasons make sense in context, this focus on controlling devices may also be undermining the goal of helping students to become independent learners. Are schools missing a key element of the technology revolution in schools, a moment for real change, by locking down computing systems and by default ensuring students remain tech-users, not creators?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A PIRATE ISLAND DISTRICT\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A district in Pennsylvania is flying in the face of the trend towards closed systems, instead choosing open source devices and software whenever possible. “We sometimes feel like a pirate island because this is unusual,” said Charlie Reisinger, technology director for \u003ca href=\"http://www.pennmanor.net/\" target=\"_blank\">Penn Manor School District in Pennsylvania\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district recently gave all \u003ca href=\"http://www.pennmanor.net/techblog/?page_id=1561\" target=\"_blank\">1,700 high school students laptops\u003c/a> running \u003ca href=\"http://insights.ubuntu.com/case-study/an-ubuntu-pc-for-everyone-in-penn-manor-school-district-pennsylvania-usa/\" target=\"_blank\">Ubuntu operating systems\u003c/a>, an easy-to-use version of the open source product Linux. Reisinger estimates that going with an open-source operating system has saved the district $360,000 in just the first year of the program and his dedication to Linux machines has saved closer to $750,000 over the ten years he’s been with the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"59b4cadb358270cee5020acc13c33608\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The difference is with a device such as this, it’s unlocked and kids have administrative level accounts on their laptops,” Reisinger said. “So where our formal instruction ends, their new learning can begin because they have control over the device.” Students can download and load anything they want -- and Reisinger even encourages them to do so. He’s not worried about them breaking the system because of its flexibility and wants them to learn from mistakes, if they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reisinger is baffled by the behavior of districts like \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2013/oct/01/local/la-me-1002-lausd-ipads-20131002\" target=\"_blank\">Los Angeles\u003c/a>, which rolled out a one-to-one iPad program and then revoked student privileges when kids figured out how to navigate around district filters. “On the one hand we’re handing kids amazing learning devices, perhaps one of the most amazing inventions of the past 100 years, but yet we’re saying don’t learn about it, we don’t want you to understand how it works,” Reisinger said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Treating devices that way makes students and teachers dependent on programmers for their needs, rather than letting them learn what’s under the hood. Penn Manor teachers assign work on devices to help kids meet learning standards just like teachers everywhere else, but they also have more options to let the kids explore safely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we have the 'must do' layer, there’s also that little bit of subversion here, giving kids that little bit of creativity and maybe a ray of hope,” Reisinger said. “I want them to learn that learning is not all about what someone else preordains for you. It’s OK to tinker and play with things.” Penn Manor is as beholden to performing well on state tests as any other school district and its teachers make sure to cover curriculum, even using a few third party software programs to provide remedial help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Reisinger says in addition to the advantage students have by just having access to their own laptops, students are becoming curious about the world of computing. “We’re seeing these little sprouts of discovery and problem solving that they never would have been about to do if we’d given them a locked down device,” Reisinger said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STUDENTS DESIGN CLASSROOM SOLUTIONS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Penn Manor was rolling out its one-to-one high school laptop program in January, a core group of students who had already showed an interest in computer science played an integral role. A few juniors and seniors who had been interning with the IT department over the summers helped configure laptops and served as support to their peers on hardware issues. They essentially became part of the IT team.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"If this program is truly for and about our kids then why would we not want to put them in the drivers seat and make them the engineers?\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“What we did a little differently is we structured the help desk into an actual course, so they could do this type of work,” Reisinger said. Schools often have students staff this kind of help desk before or after school, but Reisinger felt that making it a class would legitimize the effort and make the students a part of his team. Students are even designing programming solutions to problems that arise in class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers were complaining that they wanted a simple way to share files and links within the classroom, like a private Twitter app. Rather than having IT professionals respond to the request, Reisinger’s students programmed a solution that they call Paper Plane. ”Those kids have code up on GitHub [a site for open-source code] right now that they’re sharing out,” Reisinger said. Students also designed the help ticketing software that their peers use to request IT support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reisinger is aware that his computer science interns don’t represent the whole student body and that not every student is taking advantage of their open devices to become programmers. But a few are. “Every district has talent like that,” he said. The systems just have to support them to let those talents shine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IS OPEN MORE DIFFICULT TO SUPPORT?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of people are scared away from open-source software or operating systems like Linux because of the belief that they are harder for teachers and students to use, and are more challenging to support. Reisinger hasn’t found that to be true for his district. “If you look at the learning opportunities in the free and open source community there is so much out there and the community is incredibly friendly,” he said. He gave students and teachers a 10-minute tutorial to their Ubuntu devices and that was all they needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"I want them to learn that learning is not all about what someone else preordains for you.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Reisinger thinks a bigger reason people don’t go open-source is that the devices and software aren’t as shiny and exciting as iPads or Chromebooks. “Schools are sometimes so afraid to try things that are outside the box because they’ll be met with fierce criticism,” Reisinger said. “It’s tough to follow a path that hasn’t’ been well trodden.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from the cost savings Penn Manor has found by using open-source software whenever possible the district also owns all its student data, so \u003ca href=\"http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2014/04/16/28privacy_ep.h33.html\" target=\"_blank\">recent concerns regarding third party providers and privacy\u003c/a> are less of an issue. “We have control of our destiny this way,” Reisinger said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Penn Manor uses open-source solutions like \u003ca href=\"https://moodle.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Moodle\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://wordpress.org/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress\u003c/a>, companies that have built their businesses on providing support rather than on tracking data. The district is also able to customize the software, a service many schools complain they can’t get from third party providers. “If we need to make tweaks to it, we own it, it lives on our servers and we can make changes we need,” Reisinger said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also very expensive to change providers once a school has chosen one because all a school’s data is in that system and it can’t be easily removed and transferred. That puts districts in the difficult position of being married to the first vendor they choose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHY DON’T MORE DISTRICTS GO OPEN?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could be a lot of reasons more districts aren’t following the Penn Manor path. In many cases districts haven’t even heard of the open-source options available.

Many schools want all students to have the same kind of device, with the same apps pre-downloaded. Students often have little choice over which tools they can use on their devices. Even for online research, many schools \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2011/04/straight-from-the-doe-facts-about-blocking-sites-in-schools/\" target=\"_blank\">filter out useful websites\u003c/a> like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, making it harder and more restrictive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools have many reasons for wanting to systematize the technology in schools: to ensure equity for all students, the ability of IT department to support the devices, and to comply with federal laws. Most schools are working with limited technology budgets and IT directors are trying to decide how to get the most out of those limited dollars. At the same time, they’re\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/12/in-the-rush-to-buy-new-tech-for-common-core-what-happens-to-the-big-picture/\" target=\"_blank\"> being bombarded by tech vendors\u003c/a>, feeling pressure to keep up with new changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though all these reasons make sense in context, this focus on controlling devices may also be undermining the goal of helping students to become independent learners. Are schools missing a key element of the technology revolution in schools, a moment for real change, by locking down computing systems and by default ensuring students remain tech-users, not creators?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A PIRATE ISLAND DISTRICT\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A district in Pennsylvania is flying in the face of the trend towards closed systems, instead choosing open source devices and software whenever possible. “We sometimes feel like a pirate island because this is unusual,” said Charlie Reisinger, technology director for \u003ca href=\"http://www.pennmanor.net/\" target=\"_blank\">Penn Manor School District in Pennsylvania\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district recently gave all \u003ca href=\"http://www.pennmanor.net/techblog/?page_id=1561\" target=\"_blank\">1,700 high school students laptops\u003c/a> running \u003ca href=\"http://insights.ubuntu.com/case-study/an-ubuntu-pc-for-everyone-in-penn-manor-school-district-pennsylvania-usa/\" target=\"_blank\">Ubuntu operating systems\u003c/a>, an easy-to-use version of the open source product Linux. Reisinger estimates that going with an open-source operating system has saved the district $360,000 in just the first year of the program and his dedication to Linux machines has saved closer to $750,000 over the ten years he’s been with the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The difference is with a device such as this, it’s unlocked and kids have administrative level accounts on their laptops,” Reisinger said. “So where our formal instruction ends, their new learning can begin because they have control over the device.” Students can download and load anything they want -- and Reisinger even encourages them to do so. He’s not worried about them breaking the system because of its flexibility and wants them to learn from mistakes, if they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reisinger is baffled by the behavior of districts like \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2013/oct/01/local/la-me-1002-lausd-ipads-20131002\" target=\"_blank\">Los Angeles\u003c/a>, which rolled out a one-to-one iPad program and then revoked student privileges when kids figured out how to navigate around district filters. “On the one hand we’re handing kids amazing learning devices, perhaps one of the most amazing inventions of the past 100 years, but yet we’re saying don’t learn about it, we don’t want you to understand how it works,” Reisinger said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Treating devices that way makes students and teachers dependent on programmers for their needs, rather than letting them learn what’s under the hood. Penn Manor teachers assign work on devices to help kids meet learning standards just like teachers everywhere else, but they also have more options to let the kids explore safely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we have the 'must do' layer, there’s also that little bit of subversion here, giving kids that little bit of creativity and maybe a ray of hope,” Reisinger said. “I want them to learn that learning is not all about what someone else preordains for you. It’s OK to tinker and play with things.” Penn Manor is as beholden to performing well on state tests as any other school district and its teachers make sure to cover curriculum, even using a few third party software programs to provide remedial help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Reisinger says in addition to the advantage students have by just having access to their own laptops, students are becoming curious about the world of computing. “We’re seeing these little sprouts of discovery and problem solving that they never would have been about to do if we’d given them a locked down device,” Reisinger said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STUDENTS DESIGN CLASSROOM SOLUTIONS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Penn Manor was rolling out its one-to-one high school laptop program in January, a core group of students who had already showed an interest in computer science played an integral role. A few juniors and seniors who had been interning with the IT department over the summers helped configure laptops and served as support to their peers on hardware issues. They essentially became part of the IT team.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"If this program is truly for and about our kids then why would we not want to put them in the drivers seat and make them the engineers?\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“What we did a little differently is we structured the help desk into an actual course, so they could do this type of work,” Reisinger said. Schools often have students staff this kind of help desk before or after school, but Reisinger felt that making it a class would legitimize the effort and make the students a part of his team. Students are even designing programming solutions to problems that arise in class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers were complaining that they wanted a simple way to share files and links within the classroom, like a private Twitter app. Rather than having IT professionals respond to the request, Reisinger’s students programmed a solution that they call Paper Plane. ”Those kids have code up on GitHub [a site for open-source code] right now that they’re sharing out,” Reisinger said. Students also designed the help ticketing software that their peers use to request IT support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reisinger is aware that his computer science interns don’t represent the whole student body and that not every student is taking advantage of their open devices to become programmers. But a few are. “Every district has talent like that,” he said. The systems just have to support them to let those talents shine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IS OPEN MORE DIFFICULT TO SUPPORT?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of people are scared away from open-source software or operating systems like Linux because of the belief that they are harder for teachers and students to use, and are more challenging to support. Reisinger hasn’t found that to be true for his district. “If you look at the learning opportunities in the free and open source community there is so much out there and the community is incredibly friendly,” he said. He gave students and teachers a 10-minute tutorial to their Ubuntu devices and that was all they needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"I want them to learn that learning is not all about what someone else preordains for you.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Reisinger thinks a bigger reason people don’t go open-source is that the devices and software aren’t as shiny and exciting as iPads or Chromebooks. “Schools are sometimes so afraid to try things that are outside the box because they’ll be met with fierce criticism,” Reisinger said. “It’s tough to follow a path that hasn’t’ been well trodden.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from the cost savings Penn Manor has found by using open-source software whenever possible the district also owns all its student data, so \u003ca href=\"http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2014/04/16/28privacy_ep.h33.html\" target=\"_blank\">recent concerns regarding third party providers and privacy\u003c/a> are less of an issue. “We have control of our destiny this way,” Reisinger said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Penn Manor uses open-source solutions like \u003ca href=\"https://moodle.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Moodle\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://wordpress.org/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress\u003c/a>, companies that have built their businesses on providing support rather than on tracking data. The district is also able to customize the software, a service many schools complain they can’t get from third party providers. “If we need to make tweaks to it, we own it, it lives on our servers and we can make changes we need,” Reisinger said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also very expensive to change providers once a school has chosen one because all a school’s data is in that system and it can’t be easily removed and transferred. That puts districts in the difficult position of being married to the first vendor they choose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHY DON’T MORE DISTRICTS GO OPEN?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could be a lot of reasons more districts aren’t following the Penn Manor path. In many cases districts haven’t even heard of the open-source options available. In others, there’s a perception that getting something for free inherently means it will be a worse product.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other places, giving students the most expensive, shiniest device might be a point of pride. “We wanted our students to have the best of the best,” said Dr. Darryl Adams, Superintendent of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/10/rolling-out-an-ipad-pilot-program-with-eyes-wide-open/\" target=\"_blank\">Coachella Valley Unified School District\u003c/a>.

Digital instruction is simply finally achieving equal billing for serious consideration and state and federal funding. Despite this year’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-chairman-and-ed-sec-discuss-digital-textbooks-edtech-leaders\">declaration \u003c/a>from the FCC and U.S. Department of Education that the industry should replace paper with digital textbooks by 2017, financial and technical hurdles remain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px\">For example, one high-profile Open Educational Resources \u003ca href=\"http://www.slideshare.net/opencontent/the-5-texbook\">pilot \u003c/a>in Utah uses digital resources to create paper high school science textbooks -- at an attractive per-copy price of about five dollars, versus $80 for commercial texts. Why paper? David Wiley of Brigham Young University explained at SXSWedu that the digital device cost per student was high and much of the benefit could be derived in how the material was customized, taking advantage of paper’s “unlimited battery life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Technical concerns were front-and-center at a Consortium for School Networking/SIIA \u003ca href=\"http://www.cosn.org/Events/FeedbackFocusGroups/tabid/4638/Default.aspx\">Feedback Forum\u003c/a> held with district and state officials during the \u003ca href=\"http://www.isteconference.org/2012/\">ISTE 2012\u003c/a> conference. While WiFi and devices may exist in a school district, distribution can be lumpy, creating hurdles to smooth implementation. “We have schools that are one hundred percent textbook, and schools that are fully digital -- a broad spectrum,” said a Louisiana-based tech coordinator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px\">It is, one administrator from a California district noted, the last mile Internet connection into schools and even individual classrooms “where things get interesting.” Which renders paper \u003c!--more-->as a cheap, convenient delivery mechanism, a good option -- for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px\">\n\u003c/p>\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px\">\n\u003c/p>\u003ch4>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/12/2012-ed-tech-trends-insights-from-insiders/colleges2-4/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-25841\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-25841\" title=\"colleges2\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2012/12/colleges2-300x166.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"166\">\u003c/a>2.

Investors and media are paying close attention to Coursera, edX, Udacity, and other major players.

In other words, a teacher can pick and choose learning elements he or she needs for a lesson from a variety of sources, make changes, use those lessons in class, and theoretically then distribute either the individual pieces or the completed combination to other educators for their use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s like creating your own music playlist by choosing tracks from various artists and sequencing them any way you want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, four core factors have come together to fuel the rise of digital content, including OER pieces, across the educational landscape, from kindergarten to college:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PRICE\u003c/strong>. Ask any educator the appeal of OER you'll likely to hear, “It’s free content.” While that may not always be true (there is OER available to institutions by subscription through the delightfully named \u003ca href=\"http://hippocampus.org/\">HippoCampus\u003c/a>, for example), and not all digital content is OER (just ask any education industry company), perceptions do matter. And the perception that a lot of quality content is available for only the cost of labor has led a lot of school districts and teachers to try it during difficult budget times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AVAILABILITY\u003c/strong>. Spurred by entrepreneurs and fueled by funding from, among others, the Gates and Hewlett Foundations (as well as the continued efforts of long-time educational publishers and ed-tech companies), there's simply a lot more digital content on the web than there used to be, for example \u003ca href=\"http://www.khanacademy.org/\">Khan Academy\u003c/a> videos and materials from \u003ca href=\"http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/index.html\">NASA\u003c/a>. But significantly more has been developed by existing educational powerhouses, start-ups and educators themselves. Anything digital, and granular enough, works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DISCOVERABILITY\u003c/strong>. A big challenge has simply been finding what online materials exist on the web beyond known repositories such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.curriki.org/\">Curriki\u003c/a>. Two very prominent, and public, initiatives are tackling this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/05/how-open-education-is-changing-the-texture-of-content/learningregistry1/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21794\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-21794\" title=\"LearningRegistry1\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2012/05/LearningRegistry1-300x221.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"221\">\u003c/a>Last November, the U.S. Departments of Education and Defense \u003ca href=\"http://www.educause.edu/blog/jcummings/FederalLearningRegistryforDigi/241549\">launched\u003c/a> the beta of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.learningregistry.org/\">Learning Registry\u003c/a>, which is basically a directory of kindergarten-through-adult digital education resources from a wide variety of government, state, district and private sources. What makes the Registry unique is that any provider can register content (the National Archives, Smithsonian and PBS were among the early participants), and any educator can quickly find lessons plans and content specific to his or her unique needs based on subject, grade level or other criteria. And the Learning Registry doesn’t just reside at one address on the web; it’s more of a embeddable, distributed index that can be \u003ca href=\"http://demolearningregistry.sri.com/browse/index.html?search=\">browsed\u003c/a> from many websites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second, related effort is the \u003ca href=\"http://lrmi.net/\">Learning Resource Metadata Initiative\u003c/a>. Steered by the Association of Educational Publishers and Creative Commons, LRMI is a fast-tracked project, launched just last June, to make it easier to find educational resources via major search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo. At its core, this is about consistently tagging digital educational content – no matter who creates it – with metadata that search engines understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taken together, the hope is that LRMI and the Learning Registry will go a long way toward solving the problem of highlighting appropriate educational chunks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/05/how-open-education-is-changing-the-texture-of-content/cc-large/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21795\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-21795\" title=\"cc.large\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2012/05/cc.large_-140x140.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\">\u003c/a>FLEXIBILITY\u003c/strong>. A large part of the appeal of digital chunked content is its flexibility. Pluto’s planetary status in flux? Swap out chunks without wiping out the lesson or course (but keep the old one, just in case the astronomical \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pluto_Protest_and_Counter_Protest.jpg\">protests\u003c/a> are successful). And flexibility goes beyond delivery via pixel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utah, for example, has the Utah Open Textbook high school science curriculum. Created from OER content, the course textbooks are then printed and distributed. But the cost is $5.35 per book, versus about $80 for a traditional science textbook, prompting the project’s \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/#%21/opencontent\">David Wiley\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"http://www.slideshare.net/opencontent/the-5-texbook\">note\u003c/a> at this year’s SXSWedu conference that these become books kids mark up and keep, rather than having to turn in at the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In higher education, \u003ca href=\"http://academicpub.sharedbook.com/academicpub/\">AcademicPub\u003c/a> allows digital textbooks to be created with a mix of copyrighted (paid) and open (free) content. The automated process leads to a custom electronic or paper book – essentially, a digital course pack. And there are several other examples.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the increased use of chunked digital content, especially OER, is not without pitfalls.

In other words, a teacher can pick and choose learning elements he or she needs for a lesson from a variety of sources, make changes, use those lessons in class, and theoretically then distribute either the individual pieces or the completed combination to other educators for their use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s like creating your own music playlist by choosing tracks from various artists and sequencing them any way you want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, four core factors have come together to fuel the rise of digital content, including OER pieces, across the educational landscape, from kindergarten to college:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PRICE\u003c/strong>. Ask any educator the appeal of OER you'll likely to hear, “It’s free content.” While that may not always be true (there is OER available to institutions by subscription through the delightfully named \u003ca href=\"http://hippocampus.org/\">HippoCampus\u003c/a>, for example), and not all digital content is OER (just ask any education industry company), perceptions do matter. And the perception that a lot of quality content is available for only the cost of labor has led a lot of school districts and teachers to try it during difficult budget times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AVAILABILITY\u003c/strong>. Spurred by entrepreneurs and fueled by funding from, among others, the Gates and Hewlett Foundations (as well as the continued efforts of long-time educational publishers and ed-tech companies), there's simply a lot more digital content on the web than there used to be, for example \u003ca href=\"http://www.khanacademy.org/\">Khan Academy\u003c/a> videos and materials from \u003ca href=\"http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/index.html\">NASA\u003c/a>. But significantly more has been developed by existing educational powerhouses, start-ups and educators themselves. Anything digital, and granular enough, works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DISCOVERABILITY\u003c/strong>. A big challenge has simply been finding what online materials exist on the web beyond known repositories such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.curriki.org/\">Curriki\u003c/a>.

What makes the Registry unique is that any provider can register content (the National Archives, Smithsonian and PBS were among the early participants), and any educator can quickly find lessons plans and content specific to his or her unique needs based on subject, grade level or other criteria. And the Learning Registry doesn’t just reside at one address on the web; it’s more of a embeddable, distributed index that can be \u003ca href=\"http://demolearningregistry.sri.com/browse/index.html?search=\">browsed\u003c/a> from many websites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second, related effort is the \u003ca href=\"http://lrmi.net/\">Learning Resource Metadata Initiative\u003c/a>. Steered by the Association of Educational Publishers and Creative Commons, LRMI is a fast-tracked project, launched just last June, to make it easier to find educational resources via major search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo. At its core, this is about consistently tagging digital educational content – no matter who creates it – with metadata that search engines understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taken together, the hope is that LRMI and the Learning Registry will go a long way toward solving the problem of highlighting appropriate educational chunks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/05/how-open-education-is-changing-the-texture-of-content/cc-large/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21795\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-21795\" title=\"cc.large\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2012/05/cc.large_-140x140.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\">\u003c/a>FLEXIBILITY\u003c/strong>.

And flexibility goes beyond delivery via pixel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utah, for example, has the Utah Open Textbook high school science curriculum. Created from OER content, the course textbooks are then printed and distributed. But the cost is $5.35 per book, versus about $80 for a traditional science textbook, prompting the project’s \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/#%21/opencontent\">David Wiley\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"http://www.slideshare.net/opencontent/the-5-texbook\">note\u003c/a> at this year’s SXSWedu conference that these become books kids mark up and keep, rather than having to turn in at the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In higher education, \u003ca href=\"http://academicpub.sharedbook.com/academicpub/\">AcademicPub\u003c/a> allows digital textbooks to be created with a mix of copyrighted (paid) and open (free) content. The automated process leads to a custom electronic or paper book – essentially, a digital course pack.

Last fall, Sebastian Thrun's Artificial Intelligence course \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2011/08/stanford-for-everyone-more-than-120000-enroll-in-free-classes/\">enrolled 160,000 students\u003c/a> and Thrun recently gave up tenure at Stanford to start \u003ca href=\"mailto:http://www.udacity.com/\">Udacity\u003c/a>, a company that will offer more MOOCs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at such a huge scale, what are the digital methods of teaching that work best? Philipp Schmidt, founder of the free online university \u003ca href=\"mailto:http://p2pu.org/en/\">P2PU,\u003c/a> preaches three building blocks: community, recognition and content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was totally clear to me [several years ago] that content is only the starting point,” Schmidt said at recently at a SXSW session. “The really exciting stuff is going to be the learning, the assessments and the stuff that you need the content for. In a way, we started P2PU because institutions weren't doing it. How do we build community around it and recognition for this open content is my question.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Stanford professors \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtmdiPUGGe8\">readily admit \u003c/a>that some of the students who participated in their online courses provided their peers with deeper, more comprehensive answers than they were able to.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>\"It was totally clear to me that content is only the starting point.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>You’d expect MIT to tout its content as the solution. But that’s not how Steve Carson, director of external affairs for OpenCourseWare, describes the benefits of their project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The most exciting thing is that the last six months of open education have been spectacularly disruptive,” Carson says. “It was kind of a sleepy enterprise for the last 10 years where MIT was doing its thing and there were other projects doing their thing. It was all good and there were positive global benefits, but in the past 10 years I've heard people say campus-based education \u003c!--more-->better look out, that this will be threatening to their business model, and I've never really felt that until the last six months. The pace of change in open education is qualitatively different than it was even a few months ago.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson argues that MIT’s work is merely a necessary transitory experiment. It only puts classes and course material online, but you still have to watch, frequently from the back of the room, as the professor lectures students. He compares it to Wikipedia. MIT’s videos and materials provide deep references on a subject -- but not the actual courses themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson is a big fan of Schmidt’s work. At P2PU, they run online courses that can be taught by a peer (you can create your own course), and they heavily promote the social part of learning. They have a peer mentor program to help students get through their courses and have the most users teaching web development courses, although Schmidt says they'll be doing less of that. Schmidt believes that even with all the OER in the world, the way people learn is by being excited about it, by making things (even if it is just a blog post) and working together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The things I care most about is collaborative skills, are you a good communicator, can you get stuff done?” Schmidt says. “I think that's the number one thing that isn't being assessed anywhere that is super important. That's what you ask when someone wants a job from you: do they get stuff done.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson likes Schmidt’s focus on community, recognition and content because he argues it is more important to discover successful learning techniques rather than merely sign up 100,000 students online. He sees promoting big-sized classes as a way to bring attention to the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think one of the higher level struggles these MOOCs are injecting themselves into is to change the way higher education as it is practiced on campus,\" Carson said. \"It is an opportunity to show faculty members different ways the Internet can support learning.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what exactly is the problem all these groups are trying to solve? It's the sudden acceleration of global higher education demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>\"[MOOCs] are changing the way higher education as it is practiced on campus.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"If you look at the scope and scale of the educational need in the world we're going to need all of our educational systems firing on all cylinders to come close to even meeting the educational demand emerging in the world,” Carson said. “You could offer a thousand courses enrolling a 100,000 students each and you would not even be scratching the surface of the need in India and China and other developing regions. So we need these educational techniques to solve this problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took 11 years to get from the launch of OpenCourseWare to the point where a Stanford professor would walk away from a tenure position to launch another online learning venture. So how long will it take to build this next phase? For computer science, experiments like Thrun’s suggest that it may not take that long.

Last fall, Sebastian Thrun's Artificial Intelligence course \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2011/08/stanford-for-everyone-more-than-120000-enroll-in-free-classes/\">enrolled 160,000 students\u003c/a> and Thrun recently gave up tenure at Stanford to start \u003ca href=\"mailto:http://www.udacity.com/\">Udacity\u003c/a>, a company that will offer more MOOCs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at such a huge scale, what are the digital methods of teaching that work best? Philipp Schmidt, founder of the free online university \u003ca href=\"mailto:http://p2pu.org/en/\">P2PU,\u003c/a> preaches three building blocks: community, recognition and content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was totally clear to me [several years ago] that content is only the starting point,” Schmidt said at recently at a SXSW session. “The really exciting stuff is going to be the learning, the assessments and the stuff that you need the content for. In a way, we started P2PU because institutions weren't doing it. How do we build community around it and recognition for this open content is my question.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Stanford professors \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtmdiPUGGe8\">readily admit \u003c/a>that some of the students who participated in their online courses provided their peers with deeper, more comprehensive answers than they were able to.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>\"It was totally clear to me that content is only the starting point.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>You’d expect MIT to tout its content as the solution.

It was all good and there were positive global benefits, but in the past 10 years I've heard people say campus-based education \u003c!--more-->better look out, that this will be threatening to their business model, and I've never really felt that until the last six months. The pace of change in open education is qualitatively different than it was even a few months ago.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson argues that MIT’s work is merely a necessary transitory experiment. It only puts classes and course material online, but you still have to watch, frequently from the back of the room, as the professor lectures students. He compares it to Wikipedia. MIT’s videos and materials provide deep references on a subject -- but not the actual courses themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson is a big fan of Schmidt’s work. At P2PU, they run online courses that can be taught by a peer (you can create your own course), and they heavily promote the social part of learning. They have a peer mentor program to help students get through their courses and have the most users teaching web development courses, although Schmidt says they'll be doing less of that. Schmidt believes that even with all the OER in the world, the way people learn is by being excited about it, by making things (even if it is just a blog post) and working together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The things I care most about is collaborative skills, are you a good communicator, can you get stuff done?” Schmidt says. “I think that's the number one thing that isn't being assessed anywhere that is super important. That's what you ask when someone wants a job from you: do they get stuff done.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson likes Schmidt’s focus on community, recognition and content because he argues it is more important to discover successful learning techniques rather than merely sign up 100,000 students online. He sees promoting big-sized classes as a way to bring attention to the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think one of the higher level struggles these MOOCs are injecting themselves into is to change the way higher education as it is practiced on campus,\" Carson said. \"It is an opportunity to show faculty members different ways the Internet can support learning.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what exactly is the problem all these groups are trying to solve? It's the sudden acceleration of global higher education demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>\"[MOOCs] are changing the way higher education as it is practiced on campus.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"If you look at the scope and scale of the educational need in the world we're going to need all of our educational systems firing on all cylinders to come close to even meeting the educational demand emerging in the world,” Carson said. “You could offer a thousand courses enrolling a 100,000 students each and you would not even be scratching the surface of the need in India and China and other developing regions. So we need these educational techniques to solve this problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took 11 years to get from the launch of OpenCourseWare to the point where a Stanford professor would walk away from a tenure position to launch another online learning venture. So how long will it take to build this next phase? For computer science, experiments like Thrun’s suggest that it may not take that long.
