Making It Matter

Supporting Education In The Developing World Through Open And Linked Data

Balaji V | 16 May 2014

SLIDE 2

This is the view……

  • From way above…
  • Developing countries produce

sizeable quantities of OER

  • Large institutions rather than small ones

involved

  • Need for value addition

– Educational, employability ontologies

Good producers, good consumers

  • Earlier view:

– developing world as OER consumers

  • Now:

– Developing world as OER producers

  • More appropriate: good producer =

good consumer

Reuse and Adaptation of OER A must for making impact

Balaji V. | Making it Matter - London, UK - 16 May 2014

slide-11
SLIDE 11
  • Discoverability of OER
  • Here is where LinkedUp is making a

huge contribution already

Balaji V. | Making it Matter - London, UK - 16 May 2014

slide-12

  • Quality of OER is best established

through socialising OER

Reuse and adaptation

  • Proceeds well when users know the

values

– Educational: level of attainment, maturity/capability, prior learning etc – Employment/ Skills Development: this set

  • f values is increasingly important

Balaji V. | Making it Matter - London, UK - 16 May 2014

Socialising OER

  • Already taking place in online spaces

– YouTube – Facebook – Etc

  • Not easily and critically assessed for

value

Need for new ontologies

  • Educational

– LRMI – LinkedUp

  • Employability

– Ontology approach e.g Dragon Gasevitch Athabasca U

Offlining of OER

  • About 80% of learners do not have

consistent access to Internet for learning

  • Offlining is helpful
  • COL’s Aptus (www.col.org/aptus)

What would we look forward to?

  • Improving discoverability of OER, esp

from developing world

  • New ontologies for skills development

and employability

  • Further improving data on educational

value
