@jenklaud talking about the cost of educational material skyrocketing. Really affects students, who can't afford materials. Not registering for a course, poor grades, dropped courses, failed grades are the result.
-
@jenklaud Commerical, closed materials and platforms have a lot of blind spots, who try to tow the popular line. Accessibility really suffers. Open educational materials lets us tell different stories, and make them accessible for all. #OpenConCascadia19
-
@jenklaud PCC has grants to help instructors develop open educational materials.
-
@jenklaud David Edwards talking about CEDAR (Cancer Early Detection Advanced Research Center) - hired as a non-traditional postdoc thinking about research questions. #OpenConCascadia19
-
@jenklaud How can they make this process effective and helpful? Asking for help.
-
@jenklaud Douglas Tsoi: Talking about lifelong learning with Portland Underground Graduate School. Education often ends while young. Learning is dynamic, creative, and critical. #OpenConCascadia19
-
@jenklaud Started with one course, but rapidly expanded. Social justice, career courses, pizza school. The community has enough knowledge to educate itself. #OpenConCascadia19
-
@jenklaud Educational industrial complex/ivory tower: Knowledge should benefit everyone, and not be exclusive, expensive, or hierarchical. Learning is a human right and need. School system encourages compliance in it, and ed. debt makes you comply afterwards. #OpenConCascadia19
-
@jenklaud Anyone can come to class. Anyone can teach, but need to take a course first. Community-sourced topics. Affordable, tuitiion is income based. Education as Liberation. #OpenConCascadia19
-
@jenklaud Sold PUGS, but still teach there. Started MyceliumPDX.com - starting a small business school. Starting March 8! Leverage knowledge that is in the community and teach each other. #OpenConCascadia19
-
@jenklaud SchoolofFinancialFreedom.online - take control of your finances. Talk about money and learn hard concrete skills.
-
@jenklaud @HannahStepanek talking about her work at Hypothesis and Open Source code. Started at the start of computer research, scientists wanted to fix code and did it themselves, shared it. #OpenConCascadia19
-
@jenklaud @HannahStepanek Hypothesis lets you annotate the web. Outside developers are helping fix issues via Pull Requests. Documentation is hard to write, but having lots of people help out incrementally can help. #OpenConCascadia19
-
@jenklaud @HannahStepanek Giving back to the community: can search by site. When you make a change you're invested in and give it back, it may be relevant to everyone. #OpenConCascadia19
-
@jenklaud @HannahStepanek Open Source provides a lot of freedom and flexibility. Peer review process ensures security and accountability. Also the ability to keep up on cutting-edge tech. #OpenConCascadia19
-
@jenklaud @HannahStepanek Talking about origin stories and eye-opening moments: - Data hidden behind PDFs. - Why aren't educational materials shared? - Graduate school is expensive. - Machine learning in research and reproducibility
-
@jenklaud @HannahStepanek Open Pedagogy: not just about instructor pouring knowledge into students ears. More about flexible approaches that go beyond textbooks, and have students build resources. #OpenConCascadia19
-
@jenklaud @HannahStepanek Can you do OER without open pedagogy? How can we reduce costs for students? Gets your foot in the door, but stuck and not taking advantage of improving the materials, and other opportunities for pedagogy. #OpenConCascadia19
-
@jenklaud @HannahStepanek What can academia learn from people outside academia? When you go to all of the things you don't know about, that's where growth happens and you become a better person. #OpenConCascadia19
-
@jenklaud @HannahStepanek Can you make interesting connections from something completely different? #OpenConCascadia19
-
@jenklaud @HannahStepanek Barriers for instructors: adjunct faculty model is broken/overused, doesn't pay them enough to be able to develop materials. Diversity issues as a result. #OpenConCascadia19
