Organizing higher education in changing society
- 1. Organizing higher education in changing society - Open educational practices in animal welfare Anne Algers Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences & IT-University Gothenburg Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences www.slu.se
- 2. Research aim Analyse open educational practices in higher education for a sustainable, global and inclusive knowledge development in the subject of animal welfare. More generally the research aim is to better understand new ways of organizing higher education in a changing society. Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences www.slu.se
- 3. A few words about animal welfare (AW) • Animals can suffer and have cognitive abilities (e.g. Pepperberg, 1999) • Recognised scientific discipline in the 80es (Broom, 1991; Duncan, 1996; Broom, 2005) • Intensified production and global trade of farm animals (Fraser, 2008) • Animal welfare is partly normative -animal ethics (Tannenbaum, 1991) • Animal welfare in its cultural context (Fraser, 2008) Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences www.slu.se
- 4. Activity theory (Engeström) Empowerment and democracy Social production, contradiction and reflective communication Negotiation, reciprocity and peer review The very object of activity is unstable, resists attempts of control and standardization Requires rapid integration of expertise from various locations and traditions The knowledge domain on animal welfare is typically affiliated in numerous activity systems (farmers, citizens, industry, consumers, researchers, NGO´s) Moving up and outward it tackles multiple interconnected activity systems (e.g. different stakeholders roles in relation to animal welfare) Moving down and inward it tackles issues of subjectivity, emotion, embodiment, identity, and moral commitment.

- 12. Change of paradigm in education • Responsive to society (Buckley, 2012) • Demand driven (Thomas & Brown, 2011) • Blurring distinction between formal and informal learning (Jenkins et al., 2009) • Participatory cultures and approaches (Jenkins et al., 2009) Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences www.slu.se
- 13. Participatory culture • Web2.0 (interact or collaborate ≠ passive viewing of content) • Students and citizens as prosumers (Lane & Law, 2012) • Most effective when they are valuebased • Networked learning (Jones, Dirckinck-Holmfeld, Lindström, 2006) Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences www.slu.se
- 14. Open Educational Resources • “The phenomenon of OER is an empowerment process, driven by technology, in which various types of stakeholders are able to interact, collaborate, create, and use materials and pedagogic practices, that are freely available, for enhancing access, reducing costs, and improving the quality of education and learning at all levels” Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences www.slu.se (Kanwar et al., 2010)
- 15. Internet and Animal welfare • Science and values • Media carrying information • Participatory cultures, OER and social media • Impact - Change in attitude Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences www.slu.se
- 16. Internet and Animal welfare Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences www.slu.se
- 17. Animal welfare at slaughter Biological principles Legislation Ungulate animals Poultry Game/Ostrich Rabbit Fur animals Index Welcome to a learning resource in animal welfare at slaughter! Instruction how to use About the content Authors behind From 2013 a new Council Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009 on the protection of animals at the time of slaughter comes into force and is directly applicable in all EU Member States. It requires e.g. that any person handling animals at slaughter and killing should have taken a course and has a certificate of competence. To ease the transition, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences developed training materials, which are freely available for anyone to use to gain the necessary knowledge in the subject and a common ground to stand on. The material, which is web based, is available on this site to everybody who want to learn more about animal welfare at slaughter and killing.

- 29. Some reflections so far…. • Only few OER are available within the subject of animal welfare • Contextual differences between cultures are of great concern • A standardized quality evaluation tool can be used for the assessment of quality of OER in animal welfare • Trust is of great importance for sharing and reuse of OER and the size of communities and the subject may be of importance for trust • Students can be part of knowledge creation ….but different stakeholde opinions on e.g. accuracy versus legitimacy is under analysis Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences www.slu.se

- Master in animal husbandry, specialised in animal welfare which is a rather new Global scientific domain Institutional level, how to develoop HE which is inclusive and sustainable,
- It became a scientific discipline in the 1980s and the first professor in animal welfare was appointed at Cambridge University in 1986 (Broom, 2005). The development of animal welfare as a subject taught to university students, such as veterinary, agriculture, and biology students, was slow in the beginning and only 10 professors were appointed in the subject before 1995 (Broom, 2005). 25 today
- Engeström has activity as a unit of analysis, which is including a complex system of individuals, artifacts and activities or human actions in communities, with multiple point of view, traditions and interests. Akt teori can set the premissis for 1) DBR (you have to look at the context and culture) 2) an iterativ design process 3) how to interpret the results
- Concern (Fraser 2008 + Eurobarometer 2007) Legal change (Lisbon treaty, 2009), Broad target group (Allesadrini, 2008 + Siegford et al 2005)
- OER as an activity in a learning environment (pedagogical issues) Product ..increasingly interested in the practices – the process. Content driven OEP – burning subject that bring people together. intrinsic benefits, such as joy and identification may be of the highest importance (West & O’Mahony, 2008),
- Ej design science! Design-based research. R6 är en metodisk fråga
- The traditional way to view and do higher education is to have a push approach where knowledge is transmitted to the learners and the institutions certify the knowledge. The consequence is that the knowledge is locked in behind passwords. A new trend or complement is to take more of a pull approach , where education is demand driven, and look at a broad range of methods to make knowledge available to the society. The general changes that have been associated with the explosion of internet services has been characterised as ‘Web 2.0’ (O’Reilly, 2005).
- A Web 2.0 site gives its users the free choice to interact or collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumer) of user-generated content, in contrast to websites where users (consumer) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. PC for knowledge sharing are most effective learning communities when they are value based. Jenkins? Meso-level of collaborative learning – how to design att institutional level, and how the technology and infrastructure mediates the learning that takes place.
- Towards a mutual view on AW, knowledge complience OER in AW at slaughter – umbrella organisations for slaughter industry in SW was against openness+even got our financers ”The Swedish Board of Agriculture” to question if openness should damage the image of the slaughter industry… Sustainability and democracy Governance – topdown + bottom up+ quality assurance
- Science- physiology and behaviour of animals and ethical concerns– Internet efficient for dissemination knowledge but is increasingly also a media for discussions of values Video, audio and photo are media carrying a great amount of information, which contextualise animal welfare and therefore facilitates understanding. information of importance for AW can more easily be illustrated in new media like in a text book (physiological capacity, stockman ship, animal care), we want to have impact and by using Internet we can accomplish a broad and fast dissemination. Change in attitude towards animals and treatment of animals. Internet can also be used for scientific measurements of impact (change in attitudes).

- Problem with umbrella organisations who wanted to stop the openness and even the financers The Swedish Agricultural Board. Ostriches
- For Swedish slaughter personell it is a stand alone course where you can choose to add on other teaching activities/ For better training for safer food it will be a possibility to combine lectures with this add on OER.
- Adapt a role of a particular stakeholder. Ments (1999) has found that role-playing develops awareness of and sensitivity to the different stakeholder roles and perspectives. Role-playing also can promote an experience of handling the pressure of getting consensus among stakeholders with different perspectives. This prepares learners to deal with ethical dilemmas when participating, for example, in work groups in more formal settings. Identification – role game Multiplayer Real-time discussions Drama and increased complexity Scientific knowledge and statistics Training in argumentation Repeat from another stakeholders point of view Learning ethics while playing a role-game
- The first accutomized open training platform 100 out of 250 responded to the survey China and Brazil were not represented
- Handlar också om andra aspekter på hur man ska utbilda och kompetensutveckla. Historically, access to knowledge about animal welfare has been limited to formal structures such as classrooms and libraries. A number of courses and teaching materials in the subject are available on the internet but protected behind passwords and only a few universities develop and disseminate open educational resources in animal welfare (Algers et al., 2011). Förklara hur det kopplar till inledande frågeställningar
- Highly contectualised but can still be used for local needs (Judit) Content driven communities and OEP. intrinsic benefits, such as joy and identification may be of the highest importance (West & O’Mahony, 2008), Value based?
