Social, educational & open media in an SFU classroom.

I have used Storify to introduce social media before. And I’m not above doing so again. For its sheer ease of use, and how quickly you can assemble a story from a wide assortment online sources, it should be an early stop on your Edmedia quest.

I have tried to keep a robust set material to explore on the Open Educational Resource Page (OERs), but this is a topic that is shifting so fast these days its impossible to keep up but in a cursory way. Unless of course you are leveraging a ‘PLN’ (more on that in class discussion 😉

As noted, there has been a more extensive set of learning objectives for this session, but I have been updating it for today’s session.

Debate social medias use in the classroom
Review ETUG fall 2017 workshop
Mike Caulfields online text “Web Literacy for Student Fact-Checkers“
Use googles advanced search to locate openly licensed resources
Practice using Creative Commons licensing
Be familiar with Copyright best practices at SFU
Locate resources regarding OER opportunities at SFU.

And hopefully many more.

I am hoping by linking to the awesome CC artwork I will be OK as far as licensing goes, but there is a story there.

Also, this video…

Below is a snippet from a Storify story created using found media online.

Embedding videos and images from OTsummit

Last week the 3rd annual open textbook summit was held in Vancouver B.C. There was an amazing turn out and it was clear that this initiative is picking up steam, from various institutions including the BC and Alberta provincial governments, faculty and students. This is an eg. of how media elements (video and pics) can be “embedded” from external sites such as youtube and flickr.

There was a graphic recording on site to augment the keynote, it had an immediate as well as a delayed impact, by design.

This image was created on from amazing keynote from Dr. Rajiv Jhangiani titled “An openness to openness: The terrifying and liberating process of disrupting higher education”.
