This document discusses open practices in education and their implications. It explores how social and participatory media like blogging, mashups, messaging, and virtual worlds can enable open practices and collaborative learning. Some benefits of open practices discussed include encouraging reflection, promoting sharing and discussion, and enabling new forms of collaboration beyond traditional boundaries. The implications for learning, teaching, research and educational institutions include opportunities for greater collaboration, but also challenges around changing cultures and evaluating open resources.

Discussion • Consider each of the following: design, delivery, research and evaluation - what are the implications for learning, teaching and research of adopting more open practices? • What strategies can we adopt to promote more open practices? • What are the implications of more open practices for educational institutions?
What are the implications for learning, teaching and research of adopting more open practices? • Some -ve implications: some institutions may think there will be a lose of students, investment and revenues. But many +ve implications. Teacher can spread their work with many more students, can interact with many other teachers about the quality of their materials. • NDLR in Ireland, could we have an equivalent for schools? Reuable learning tools can become siloed, need an explaination of how they can be embedded in a classroom. Need to convince teachers of the benefits and how to implement them. Benefits of networking: confidence and interaction, and sharing. Demonstrate that it is not wasting time. Develop participatory culture.
What strategies can we adopt to promote more open practices? • Adopt an approach for openning up the minds of teachers and learners, also at an institutional level. How synchronised are these 3 levels? Bottom-up vs. top-down? What about the experiences of the institutions? Compare between institutions. What are the reasons why things do or don’t happen? Could case studies help?
What are the implications of more open practices for educational institutions? • Institutions are different and dynamic and have different cultures. Why should I be open to the materials of others. Different cultures - research and teaching. How do we replicate the culture of mutual use and trust evident in research community to a teaching context? • Take as a given that OER are being used, there is an opportunity for great collaboration between institutions and individuals. • To what extent are OER being really used? How much reinvention is going on? Can trust and sharing help?
• Boyer: we need to think of teaching as researchable. Australia/NZ - research-led teaching, changing curriculum to make it more research focussed (Angela Brew). • Example of a success story - EU consortia where they bring in all their materials and then explain the inherent design behind them, have processes of mutual trust. • Adopting a global approach might help. • Adopting open practices is likely to have a big impact on institutions and the way they work. Shift from competitive to collaborative mode of operation. Harnessing the power of the Internet.
Final thoughts Open, participatory and social media enable new forms of communication and collaboration Communities in these spaces are complex and distributed Learners and teachers need to develop new digital literacy skills to harness their potential We need to rethink how we design, support and assess learning Open, participatory and social media can provide mechanisms for us to share and discuss teaching ideas in new ways We are seeing a blurring of boundaries: teachers/ learners, teaching/research, real/virtual spaces, formal/ informal modes of communication and publication
