3. Educational materials and resources offered freely and openly for anyone to use and licensed to be adaptable by others. OCW Materials associated with a specific course in an institution that have been licensed to be adaptable to others. Unrestricted (free) access to online articles, data, knowledge and information for the public good. Open Access
4. The difference between OA, OER & OCW OA : Open Access OER : Open Educational Resources OCW : Open CourseWare OA focuses on sharing content, but no underlying licensing requirement. OER includes any educational content that is shared under an open license. OCW focuses on sharing open content that is developed specifically to instruct a course (locally taught). OCW is a subset of OER. OA OER OCW

30. WHY OER? When you look in textbooks it’s difficult to find African cases. The cases may be pretty similar but sometimes it can be confusing when you see something that you see on a white skin so nicely and very easy to pick up, but on the dark skin it has a different manifestation that may be difficult to see. Sometimes it is difficult for the students to appreciate when they see a clinical case that involves an African. I think that [locally developed] OER will go a long way in helping the students appreciate the cases that we see in our part of the world. -Richard Phillips, lecturer, Department of Internal Medicine, KNUST Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.

Notes de l'éditeur
Begin with brief introductions: Kathleen, 2010 graduate of SI and the School of Public Policy. Involved in Winter 2008 pilot of dScribe
Here’s a quick look at some of the things my colleague and I are going to cover today. We’re going to start out by defining OER and showing you some examples. Then we’re going to talk about the Open.Michigan initiative, which supports the production and publication of OER on our campus. Then we’re going to switch to a more demonstration mode so you can get some hands on experience finding, using, and creating your own OER. So that’s our general plan for today.
Several flavors of open education, of which OER are one aspect. OER are developed from resources that can be textbooks, courses, syllabi, projects, image collections, text collections, tutorials, etc. and don ’t have to be associated with a specific course. OCW are materials associated with a specific course, like Nursing 101, that meet that course ’s learning objectives. Open Access are not always openly licensed materials but they are freely accessible materials and can include journals, datasets and other information.
Open Access includes: free, permanent, full-text, online access to scientific and scholarly works OER includes openly licensed educational content
Selecting a license and displaying it on your work is the first step in creating OER.
Two C’s, as opposed to one C
OER definition includes remixing, which means derivatives must be allowed
This is where open licenses address the gaps in our current system. As content creators, you take more control over how you want others to use and share your materials and you help other people do this by giving them permission ahead of time. Open sharing practices encourage the cycle of creativity, learning and ultimately innovation by allowing others to legally build upon each other’s work. In this way, we allow others to take control over the way they learn and what they learn, curating their own collections of materials and adapting those materials to suit their needs. Licensing provides even more opportunities for sharing and for using these materials in a variety of settings outside of the protected 4 walls of closed education systems allows for teaching and learning to happen formally and informally. Creative Commons are the most used licenses for content but there are software licenses (GNU) that can be used. Share online legally, throughout the world Choose how you would like to share Many of the license allow for adaptation You can choose how you want to share and easily show others how they can use your work. You take an active step toward sharing and making your materials more useful to others. “ Realizing the full potential of the internet — universal access to research, education, full participation in culture, and driving a new era of development, growth, and productivity.” ~ Creative Commons mission
Increase the reach of your work: this is what you can do when something is made available under a creative commons license: you can build on someone else’s work and express it in a new way. Our challenge as an institution is to find ways to make our processes transparent and allow our materials to be packaged in ways that are useful and accessible to the global learning community.

America has the highest percentage of the global healthcare workforce, has the highest relative health expenditures, and among the lowest percentage of Global disease burden. In contrast, Africa represents the lowest percentage of the global healthcare workforce, has the lowest relative health expenditures, and among the highest percentage of Global disease burden.
World Health Organization’s recommends of 2.0 doctors and 2.5 nurses per 1000 people. In Ghana, for example, there are only 0.15 doctors and 0.92 nurses per 1,000 Ghanaians, which is well below the WHO recommendation. Ghana ranks among the lowest for healthcare worker density and among the highest in overall mortality. What these charts don’t show, is the disparity in health care access within countries. For example, access to hospitals and physicians is harder in the rural areas of upper peninsula of Michigan than it is here in Ann Arbor. In Africa, hospitals and many healthcare workers are concentrated in the urban areas. There is significantly lower access to healthcare in the rural areas
The Ghanaian government aims to triple the number of healthcare workers, but according to a study by Dr. Frank Anderson from University of Michigan, the Ghanaian medical schools can only admit 30% of qualified applicants due to limited faculty size.
