One month to go until deadline! Please consider submitting a paper to OpenSym 2014 (formerly WikiSym) in Berlin, Germany, Aug 27-29. ************************************** Call for Papers: opensym.org/ 10th International Symposium on Open Collaboration (OpenSym 2014) August 27-29, 2014, Berlin, Germany Conference Chair: Prof. Dirk Riehle Deadline: April 20th ************************************* We would like to present our new OER Research Track and encourage submissions: opensym.org/os2014/submission/research-track-calls/open-educational-resources/ The OER Research Track seeks contributions from researchers and practitioners investigating learning with OER looking at various aspects that make OER distinct from other educational resources such as openness, access, usage and adoption patterns of OER, collaboration etc. Open Educational Resources (OER) are learning materials that are freely available to use, reuse, adapt, and share. Collaborative spaces such as wikis and blogs allow teachers to connect, share and customize materials. Open online learning environments such as MOOCs make educational material for learners available in and out of school. With OER, we can harness the power of open access to high-level education addressing learners worldwide. The availability of large sets of user data and new analysis methods allows us to take into account individual differences of teachers and learners. By addressing learners’ different needs and various levels of prior knowledge more timely and adaptively, we may overcome the “one size fits all” solution towards a more flexible approach to teaching and learning. Connecting our students with rich and dynamic educational materials, thereby supporting self-paced learning and co-construction of knowledge, we may provoke critical thinking and ultimately enhance their learning.
