Open Education - Myths

• What is sharing?• The Open ‘Content’ view – are we sharing

content or language? • What is the role of semantics, context and

Is what is being said, that which is being understood?

Time on Task

• Start by choosing one of the sites: Khan Academy or MIT OpenCourseware. Visit one of them and with a colleague, start working out some tasks, view videos, and take time to explore it. • Take 15 mins;• Use another 15 mins to blog about your

experience;

Time on Task

• You have 5 minutes to describe and present your reflective assignment – you can share your views, thoughts, work-in-progress or difficulties;• You have 5 minutes at the end, to give

written feedback using the MOODLE VLE;

Time on Task

• The 30second deal – you have 30 seconds (no more no less) to tweet what you remember most from this session;
