Congratulations! That’s cool! So how do you feel about the award? I just mean, did you always have these goals, what are your hobbies? How do you pace yourself? I’m just curious I always like to hear perspectives, if you don’t mind, if you do mind I apologize. I mean no disrespect.
Today I am discovering the wonderful world of Open Access APCs. I, a poor queer independent researcher, would like to publish my research open access because I believe it should be free to any who need it. The publication we were pointed to as being ideal for publishing our work....wants to charge over $3000USD. I thought I was misreading that at first, but no apparently not. @academicchatter#academicchatter#OER#AcademicPublishing
We have looked to MOOCs, OERs, open access publications, and online education generally to widen access to higher education for those disadvantaged by the digital divide as well as for learners worldwide who are not affluent enough to access f2f higher education.
@SteveMcCarty@edutooter@academicchatter@OnlineEducation Steve McCarty, It’s the tools that we have in our daily possession that allow us to have daily access to Higher Education. Ideas have not changed that much from allowing general public access to published books at Carnegie Mellon Libraries, University Repository Library Depositories, Public Broadcast System (PBS/NPR) via TV & radio, World Wide Web/Internet via personal computers & SMART phones. New tools improve general public HE access.
Hello, everyone!
It's time for a proper #introduction!
I'm Nefeli, a 2nd grade #teacher from Greece.
I'm mostly interested in #education and #edtech 👩🏫👩💻
In my spare time, I'm also building @elemedu, an #OER sharing platform for school #teachers!
I'd love to connect with #educators who share the same interests. @edutooters
About 30,000 words but each chapter is short, and many focus on visual demos.
The last chapters are a little rough. If anyone has comments, or ideas for making it more useful as an #OER, lemme know! #perception#cognition@cognition
@tomstafford@cognition thank you Tom! Yes I think I gradually worked out how to use bookdown well, just in time for it to be superseded(?) by Quarto books!
He clarified that he means "textbook-free, not free textbooks." Hence #OpenTextbooks (#OER) won't satisfy him. But he encourages OER as if they would.
Faculty criticized him for “encouraging [them] to invest significant time” in creating “#OpenAccess materials" (OER) rather than using or improving materials from publishers.
During my time as a teacher in the mid noughties I never had access to OER material and the commercial resources required lots of extra labour to use them for lessons.
I had assumed it was just how teaching resources work. Is that me or a common experience?

Turns out the University of Illinois Online Instructional Activities Index is now behind a wall. Therefore…
I created a new Online and Hybrid Instructional Activities Index with updated ideas and added a new feature—related Ed Tech tools you might use for those online activities. It won’t disappear from the web. Feel free to share widely or suggest other ideas!
