Open media archives contain resources that provide :
1. Primary evidence for study and research in
different fields, subjects and disciplines
2. Assets to use in multi-modal projects and
documents
3. Assets you can reshare and publish
10. Curation
Gather, evaluate, assemble
and share using online
curation tools including
Pinterest, Scoop-it, Flickr ,
Pearltrees,. Storify
11. Crowdsourced Curation
The value will come from the curation
collections, and process, not the tools
itself.
Crowdsourced tagging and expert
tagging are involved here
12. News!
Headlines, images, maps.
What questions can be
asked?
What conclusions can we
draw?

14. Learning Design
“It’s incredibly important to use software
tools to enable students to develop
problem-solving skills, to get them trying
things out, manipulating, doing things
themselves”

17. Digital Narratives
Using still images in conjunction with audio and motion (Ken Burns effect) has a very powerful impact on audiences, and is easily
achievable in school these days. Here are two interpretations of the song Pretty Saro, one by filmmaker Jennifer Lebeau with Bob
Dylan’s version, the other by Tim Riordan uses an openly licenced version of the song by Piers Cawley. Both use examples use the
1930s - 40s images from the US Library of Congress on Flickr Commons.
18. Illustration
Use open media to illustrate books for
example - childrens stories

19. Online Quizzes, MC etc
Google Doc (Forms) make it easy to create quizzes and surveys using images, video
20. Hand Colouring old photographs
Many of the B&W photographs and illustrations
from the BL digital collection on Flickr can be
considered suitable for hand colouring
The example here used a free online browser
based photo-editing software to try and recreate
the ‘traditional’ hand coloured look. However one
could take a much more radical approach with
some of the
21. Then & Now - Film Archives
Combining today’s simple digital cameras, mobile
devices with the availability of historic images and
easy to use editing software (including online tools)
we have a great opportunity to bring past and
present together in video formats.
Here is a remarkable example of a Then and Now
video mixing contemporary footage with the work of
the 1920s, cinematographer Claude Friese-Greene.

25. There are a number of online tools that let
you add interactive (hypertext) notes and
comments to online images you discover or
upload. You can add extra information from
Wikipedia, YouTube and share on social
media. Perhaps, hyperlink images to each
other to create a digital story or ask visitors to
add notes, fill in missing information, for
example faces, signs or objects.
One needs to recognise that these kind of
open tools could lend themselves to ‘mischief
making’.

Screencast tools
● wide range of tools
● easy to use
● many free
● browser based
● some can be as sophisticated as video

this slide introduces the talk - bio
Media archives offer teachers tremendous opportunities for bringing unique material to the classroom not only for the mere purposes of illustration but also as a resource that can be used in a variety of different and creative ways, this presentation look at
Since the Unesco Paris declaration - A campaign to make freely adaptable content known as Open Educational Resources (OER) widely available has gathered momentum. A global community of OER producers has emerged and institutions are incorporating these resources into their teaching and learning strategies”
The UNESCO OER document was the starting point and the premise this project. It was also inspired by The British Libraries One Million Images on Flickr
There has been a significant increase in the quantity of cultural and heritage resources available online. These have been brought about by a growing number of digitisation projects, new online media archives, and a global trend towards to openness. At the same time many cultural institutions are releasing Public Domain material and sharing it across various platforms.
A new digital landscape providing innovative opportunities for learning and research is emerging. One excellent example of this is the British Library making over one million images available on Flickr, and in the public domain. This collection has already been viewed 149,873,219 times, (source: British Library 29-04-14)
The number of quality resources is increasing daily and thanks to the wider adoption of Creative Commons licensing and the conditions governing reuse are clearer and easier to understand, and their provenance can be better assured. Another factor is an increase in the amount of digitisation being undertaken and a general world wide trend towards to openness.
Caveat! There is the possibility that some curators in the last category may be (inadvertently) applying Creative Commons licences to content that they do not (legally) own -
Public engagement with resources made open media has resulted in the institutions and collections hosting them to learning more about them, than they already knew, crowdsources tagging, identifying faces and place s
See slide on RijksMuseum Later
Open media archives have the potential to make a significant impact in education by providing quality content that students and teachers can employ safely and creatively. To support this it will recommend an “Open Media Archives Toolkit” to harness these resources for education in a way that extends beyond mere illustrative reference.
Has been created to offer schools a unique opportunity to recognise the breadth, variety and scope of digital archives and media collections. I invite you to join the community, the more users and contributors there are the better - w
Because of the way many school systems (certainly in the UK) are structured, with a designated curriculum, the discovery of digital resources is unlikely to be a priority for schools in their curriculum planning. Teachers will be busy with little ‘downtime’ for the playful exploration and research that the such resources encourage. However if we can prove that such collections are relevant to educators at school level, a then that default position may change.

Although you could do some of these things not all with non reusable -
reusable content is much more useful pedagogically because you can mix it with other content and deconstruct - the more open the licence - the more you can do

Use the explore strand, find and access open content, manage curate and share using browser add-ons including as bookmarks, browser buttons to automatically add to resource lists or platforms e.g scoop.it.
There are suggestions (credibility) in the explore strand to help you research authorship, provenance of websites and their content andeasily find licences and Terms and Conditions
Collate information found from online resources using guidance from the explore strand
Create new assets and teaching resources through composing for the web and remixing in the building strand
Share your resources with your networks, and also the wider educational community. Contribute to and promote the OpenContent Tookit. Good suggestions are available in the connecting strand. Set up discussions, or communities around the toolkit - eg. GoogleHangouts, use the#opencontentoolkit hashtag on Twitter
Make your resources available under an open licence as suggested in the connecting strand.

Media archives contain much more than just images and video
The Internet Arcade is a web-based library of arcade (coin-operated) video games from the 1970s through to the 1990s, Containing hundreds of games ranging through many different genres and styles, the Arcade provides research, comparison, and entertainment in the realm of the Video Game Arcade.
The game collection ranges from early "bronze-age" videogames, with black and white screens and simple sounds, through to large-scale games containing digitized voices, images and music. Most games are playable in
some forms
Screencasts are now easily accessible to everyone - there are plenty of screencast tools - many are free and easy to use and browser based. Others are quite sophisticated video editors.
