“I must say, the FDOL course I’m
taking now really gives most of the
control to the learners, and I’ve
appreciated that quite a lot (although it
is quite challenging).” FDOL132

6. A bit (more) about me…...
I am a “Flipped Academic”.
The Flipped Academic (Bruton 2012) is someone who:
1.Informs first and publishes later
2.Works within the research-teaching-service paradigm
but adopts criteria to maximize impact
3.Seeks “the truth” and “usefulness” together
4.Views funding received as an input, not an output
7. Before we start……...
● This is a practical session.
● You will be asked to contribute!
● I want to learn as much from you as you
from me.
● I will be sharing an open resource with you.
● I would like you to share one with me.
● STOP me at anytime.
● None of this is really my work!

Part 1: OER - From closed to open.
11. Advantages of OER
●
OER provide freedom of access for both yourself and others.
●
Because you can freely adapt them, OER encourage pedagogical innovation.
●
Because OER are available free of charge, using them can lower costs to students
and organizations.
●
You and your organization may benefit from potential publicity.
●
When you share OER, you are contributing to the global education community.
●
When you share OER, you open a new method of collaborating with your students
and colleagues.
●
Your OER may be helpful to future educators.
26. If OER is phase one…….
……….Phase 2 is characterized by the following aspects:
● OER is the means and not an end, in order to transform educational
practices in schools and HEIs
● Goes beyond access into open learning architectures
● The focus is on combining formal and informal learning, learning is
predominantly seen as construction + sharing
● OEP allows for quality improvement in education through external
validation, as all resources and also practices are shared and possibility for
feedback is opened.
● Focus is on a change of educational cultures more than on mere resource
availability
● OER as value proposition for institutions
