Over the 3-day jam-packed initiative, more than 200 delegates from 47 countries engaged in the conference as a place to \u201cdiscuss, plan, reflect, collaborate, innovate and celebrate openness in education\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During his opening speech at the conference Dr Max Price, Vice-Chancellor of the <a href=\"http:\/\/uct.ac.za\" target=\"_blank\">University of Cape Town<\/a> (UCT), emphasised the need for \u201cfree decolonised quality\u201d education. Although the importance of open education was clear in his speech, Dr Price highlighted big challenges faced in open education (OE). He stressed the need for OE researchers to focus on finding why access and uptake of open education resources (OER) are not living up to the expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A similar sentiment was expressed by second keynote speaker, Professor Narend Barijnath,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CEO of the Council on Higher Education in South Africa who presented the idea that knowledge is a \u2018human right\u201d and \u201cpublic good\u201d and shouldn\u2019t be available to only those who can afford it. While ubiquitous access to education may be the ultimate goal of OE, it faces many challenges, especially in developing countries, where data costs are high and access to technology is limited. Another concern is the quality of the OER produced.<\/span><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Quality education is understood as a human right and a public good -Narend Baijnath <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/oeglobal?src=hash\">#oeglobal<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/yearofopen?src=hash\">#yearofopen<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2014 Tasneem Jaffer (@NoobPrincess) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NoobPrincess\/status\/839378837741924353\">March 8, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite these challenges, many universities have committed themselves to producing content that can be shared freely. As Professor Barijnath said in his speech \u201cOER are here to stay!\u201d. One of the ways this is being accomplished is through Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). As part of the MOOC implementation team at the UCT\u2019s, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cilt.uct.ac.za\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, I chose to attend a number of presentations around MOOCs, to understand how MOOCs are being utilised in other contexts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides being a conference participant, I presented on my master\u2019s research. In my presentation entitled, \u201c\u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I don\u2019t always wrap MOOCs but when I do\u2026\u2019 &#8211; Improving postgraduate students experiences of MOOCS as OERs through facilitation and face-to-face contact<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d I shared insights into using MOOCs in a blended environment in a postgraduate student setting at UCT. According to my research, even with the use of voluntary local face-to-face facilitator and peer groups, students still struggle with the independent learning that MOOCs often require. The study foregrounded the importance and benefits of face-to-face contact, particularly around the social space, where students are able to have \u201creal\u201d and immediate discussions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/oeconsortium\/i-dont-always-wrap-moocs-but-when-i-do-improving-postgraduates-students-experiences-of-moocs-as-oers-through-facilitation-and-facetoface-contact\" target=\"_blank\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 1px solid #CCC; border-width: 1px; margin-bottom: 5px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/embed_code\/key\/xmcVL8eFbrnwJ\" width=\"595\" height=\"485\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"> <\/iframe><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A particularly interesting presentation I attended was by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wfvanvalkenburg\" target=\"_blank\">William Van Valkenburg<\/a> from the Delft University of Technology (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tudelft.nl\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">TU Delft<\/a>) in the Netherlands who presented on \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything you want to know about MOOCs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TU Delft now has a portfolio of over 60 MOOCs on the edX platform with top MOOCs in the areas of Data Analysis, Creative Problem Solving, Astrophysics and English Grammar and Style.

Paola Curti presented on the research of Jane-Francis Agbu (who was unable to attend), that foregrounded the issue of the shortage of space in Nigerian universities for high school graduates. While 1.4 million youth qualify for university entrance, there are only 400 000 spaces available. To fill the gap for students who were not able to get a place at the university, a year long MOOC, \u201c<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The History and Philosophy of Science<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d was run in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. The findings of this study were unexpected; it found that the MOOC missed its intended target audience, as of the 401 participants, 56% were well-educated &#8211; having completed a postgraduate degree! This resonates with much of global MOOC research, where MOOC participants are commonly found to be degree-holders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another MOOC-related presentation was an Action Lab by colleagues in CILT around the idea of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/oeconsortium\/designing-a-framework-for-making-use-of-moocs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making Use of MOOCs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Drawing on examples of how MOOCs, both at the level of individual materials and\u00a0used as a whole or part of a course, are being deployed for a variety of educational purposes, this workshop explored the development of a framework for MOOC re-use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to\u00a0MOOCs there were also presentations on other prominent projects incorporating OERs. One such project<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0is the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/roer4d.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research on Open Educational Resources for Development<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> project (ROER4D) which presented its work and research on the adoption and impact of OER and associated practices in the Global South (see <a href=\"http:\/\/roer4d.org\/2888\">blog post<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The examples described above are a just a few of the research projects and initiatives taking place in OE around the world which were showcased at the conference. \u00a0While OEGlobal2017 demonstrated that open education continues to be on the rise, it also highlighted that there are still a number of challenges it faces along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From 8-10 March, Cape Town played host to Open Education Global (#OEGlobal2017), an international conference organised by the Open Education Consortium.
