If you are passionate about the potential of Open Educational Resources to transform
learning you will have been inspired by the following claims: “The most profound impact
of the Internet… is its ability to support and expand the various aspects of social
learning”. “Attention has moved from access to information towards access to other
people”. “Web2.0 blurs the boundaries between the producers and consumers of content”.
These claims were made some years ago by John Seely Brown in his review of the potential
impact of Technology on learning, Minds on Fire (2008). In his critique Brown claimed
that the ‘Open Educational Resources (OER) movement’ – the network of people who
support the development and embedding of a culture of open sourcing, open resources,
open knowledge, free sharing and peer collaboration in society – have assembled building
blocks that allow the emergence of ‘open participatory learning ecosystems’. Why then
has the production, reuse and recreation of Open Educational Resources not resulted
in the sorts of dynamic ecosystems that Seely Brown predicted?
Transformational change towards a culture of open sharing requires everyone involved
in the processes of learning and teaching to ‘unlearn’ their current beliefs, values
and assumptions (Dede, 2007). Is the idea of ‘unlearning’ and moving away from known
practices and values too challenging? Are teachers unwilling to change their professional
practice? Do learners find it difficult to change how they learn? Or are the problems
associated with organisational or technical challenges? |
