Why this project?
LangOER: Enhancing teaching and learning of less used
languages through Open Educational Resources (OER)
and Practices (OEP)
Deals with 3 main questions:
•How can less used languages, including Regional
and Minority languages, benefit from OEP?
•How can OER be shaped to foster linguistic and
cultural diversity in Europe?
•What policies are favourable to the uptake of
quality OER in less used language communities?

Why this webinar?
Topics to address:
•How are OER understood in the US and in
Europe and what kind of OEP emerge for
language learning and teaching?
•What kind of research has been conducted
so far?
•What are the similarities and differences
between the US and Europe and how should
they be tackled?

Research Project #1
An OER/OEP Survey: How Open is Foreign
Language Education in the United States?
Sponsored by the Center for Open Educational Resources
and Language Learning (COERLL)
The University of Texas at Austin
Project Director: Dr. Joshua Thoms
Utah State University
Reason(s)/Rationale for Research Project #1
 To date, no wide-scale study has been carried out in the
United States (US) regarding (a) how FL and ESL educators
perceive and make use of open educational resources (OER)
in their classrooms, and (b) the nature of and reasons for the
rise in open educational language practices (OEP) in the US.
 Connexions, Merlot, and OER Commons showing two to
three times as many entries for science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics categories as compared to
the arts, humanities, and social sciences (Thoms & Thoms,
2014).
 FL OER/OEP issues represented far less at open education
conferences (e.g., upcoming Open Education 2015 in
Vancouver, BC, past Open Education Global conferences)
when compared to other fields.
Survey Details
 Survey created in Spring 2015 and distributed early Summer
2015
 Survey partially based on 2014 survey Opening the
curriculum: Open educational resources in U.S. Higher
Education
 Targeted survey respondent populations:
 FL and ESL educators at the K-16 levels (e.g., primary, middle and high school
teachers, instructors/lecturers/professors at community colleges and at public and
private four-year colleges and universities)
 A wide range of FLs represented
 Diverse group of educators (various educational backgrounds, teaching experience,
etc.)
 Number of respondents: 1,972
Sample questions posed in survey
 What are the reasons why FL and ESL educators are using
OER/developing OEP in their classes?
 What are the barriers to widespread adoption of FL and ESL
OER/OEP?
 What are the areas of content and training that might result
in more FL and ESL educators using OER and/or adopting
OEP in their courses?
 What are the primary differences between traditional,
publisher-produced FL and ESL materials/content when
compared to FL and ESL OER?
 If you have incorporated OER in your FL or ESL course(s),
how it has changed your teaching practice?
*Preliminary* Results (i.e., trends)
 Educational context of respondents
*Preliminary* Results (i.e. trends)
 Awareness of OER
*Preliminary* Results (i.e. trends)
 Reasons why OER resources are used in FL and ESL classes
1. Addresses aspect of my course not found elsewhere
2. More current than publisher-produced materials
3. Easy to find/locate
*Preliminary* Results (i.e., trends)
 OER vs. traditional publisher-produced content
*Preliminary* Results (i.e., trends)
 OER vs. traditional publisher-produced content
*Preliminary* Results (i.e., trends)
 Deterrents to using OER in FL and ESL classes
1. No comprehensive catalog of resources
2. Too hard to find what I need
3. Not knowing if I have permission to use or change
Research Project #2
Assessing the OER Needs of FL and ESL
Educators in the US: High Schools,
Community Colleges, and Four-Year Colleges
 Focal group interviews to better understand and specify
what FL and ESL educators need regarding OER (i.e.,
materials and technological tools).
 Tentative time frame for data collection: Fall 2016

The European landscape: short overview of
research on OEP in language education
Katerina Zourou, LangOER project manager
“European” landscape: how homogeneous?
• 28 EU countries, each having own national (+regional)
policies on OER: dependence on national priorities in
education/ on political choices regarding public
investment
• No central policy (EU) that mandates open policies in
education and/or other fields
• At EU level: the Communication “Opening Up
Education” (2013): recommendation that proposes
actions at EU and national levels
• Within member states: regions in Europe, with
discrepancies in terms of OER adoption differs
dramatically, see:
Bradley, L., & Vigmo, S. (2014). Open Educational Resources
(OER) in less used languages: a state of the art report.

“European” landscape: how homogeneous?
Subtitle
• Fred Mulder (2013): OER expansion in 2001-2010
through some large scale projects run by national
policies or small groups of pioneers.
Example: Wikiwijs: a ground-breaking iniative in the
Netherlands (funded by NL MoE in 2009) enhancing
OER uptake in formal education. Funding reduced in
2014 due to new policy priorities.
=> Today’s imperative: sustainability to mainstream the
OER approach.
Several challenges still…
Persistent confusion
Alek Tarkowski at webinar "Moving towards Open Educational Practices“, April 21,
2015
https://eu42.spreed.com/c/740774990/spreed/100/recorder?recording=1#ok
Several challenges still…
Engaging in OER creation/re-use and its implications on professional
identities: fear of criticism/ fear of not being acknowledged
“Many colleagues still feel an enormous amount of pressure or sensitivity
in relation to critique of their teaching or teaching materials - anyone who
is truly invested in their teaching cannot help but be emotionally invested.
A low rating on a teaching material may devastate the contributor, and it
may not even be their fault (e.g. a resource intended for an upper primary
class cannot be expected to work well in a tertiary environment, etc.). This
sort of system does not encourage sharing but serves to make people
nervous about doing so” (Zourou, in press).
=> See also Pulker (2013); Whyte et al. (2014).
A “European” research on OEP in language education?
• No common European research agenda:
– Research teams often follow national and institutional timing and priorities on
OER. UK being a pioneer (also: 2 language ROER, LORO and Humbox)
• Increasing number of cross-national and cross-institutional synergies (e.g.
ITiLT, LangOER, ExplOERer projects).
• Most common research topics include
– OER for less used languages (Borthwick & Dickens, 2013; Tiedau, 2013; Bradley
& Vigmo, forthcoming),
– crowdsourcing and social networking practices (Lane & al., 2013; Beaven &
al., 2013; Tarasowa et al., 2014; Zourou, in press),
– the use of OER-based language corpora (Fitzerald, 2013)
– OEP from a teaching perspective (Calvi et al., 2013; Beaven, 2015; Borthwick &
Gallahger-Brett, 2014).
Some research trends
• “How to embrace openness” (Comas-Quinn & Borthwick, 2015) =>
approaches to sharing and reusing open content
• OER remix from a design perspective (Colpaert, 2015- MOOCs as OER
mashups-; Murray 2015)
• Collective learning and communities of practice (online and offline) around
OEP, including badging (Kurek, forthcoming; ExplOErer project)

  • 5. Why this project? LangOER: Enhancing teaching and learning of less used languages through Open Educational Resources (OER) and Practices (OEP) Deals with 3 main questions: •How can less used languages, including Regional and Minority languages, benefit from OEP? •How can OER be shaped to foster linguistic and cultural diversity in Europe? •What policies are favourable to the uptake of quality OER in less used language communities? Fryske Academy, The Netherlands Web2learn, Greece European Schoolnet, Belgium University of Gothenburg, Sweden Jan Dlugosz University, Poland Mykolas Romeris University, Lithuania International Council for Open and Distance Education, Norway Linnaeus University, Sweden Rezekne Higher Education Institution, Latvia European Commission co-funded project (2014-2016)
  • 6. 6 strands of activities 1. State-of-the-art of OER in less used languages 2. International policy maker capacity building 3. Teacher training 4. Regional and minority languages & OER 5. Challenges for language learning 6. Mainstream good practice at European policy making level
  • 7. Why this webinar? Topics to address: •How are OER understood in the US and in Europe and what kind of OEP emerge for language learning and teaching? •What kind of research has been conducted so far? •What are the similarities and differences between the US and Europe and how should they be tackled? Joshua Thoms, US Carl Blyth, US Katerina Zourou, GR Teresa MacKinnon, UK

  • 15. Research Project #1 An OER/OEP Survey: How Open is Foreign Language Education in the United States? Sponsored by the Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning (COERLL) The University of Texas at Austin Project Director: Dr. Joshua Thoms Utah State University
  • 16. Reason(s)/Rationale for Research Project #1  To date, no wide-scale study has been carried out in the United States (US) regarding (a) how FL and ESL educators perceive and make use of open educational resources (OER) in their classrooms, and (b) the nature of and reasons for the rise in open educational language practices (OEP) in the US.  Connexions, Merlot, and OER Commons showing two to three times as many entries for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics categories as compared to the arts, humanities, and social sciences (Thoms & Thoms, 2014).  FL OER/OEP issues represented far less at open education conferences (e.g., upcoming Open Education 2015 in Vancouver, BC, past Open Education Global conferences) when compared to other fields.
  • 17. Survey Details  Survey created in Spring 2015 and distributed early Summer 2015  Survey partially based on 2014 survey Opening the curriculum: Open educational resources in U.S. Higher Education  Targeted survey respondent populations:  FL and ESL educators at the K-16 levels (e.g., primary, middle and high school teachers, instructors/lecturers/professors at community colleges and at public and private four-year colleges and universities)  A wide range of FLs represented  Diverse group of educators (various educational backgrounds, teaching experience, etc.)  Number of respondents: 1,972
  • 18. Sample questions posed in survey  What are the reasons why FL and ESL educators are using OER/developing OEP in their classes?  What are the barriers to widespread adoption of FL and ESL OER/OEP?  What are the areas of content and training that might result in more FL and ESL educators using OER and/or adopting OEP in their courses?  What are the primary differences between traditional, publisher-produced FL and ESL materials/content when compared to FL and ESL OER?  If you have incorporated OER in your FL or ESL course(s), how it has changed your teaching practice?
  • 19. *Preliminary* Results (i.e., trends)  Educational context of respondents
  • 20. *Preliminary* Results (i.e. trends)  Awareness of OER
  • 21. *Preliminary* Results (i.e. trends)  Reasons why OER resources are used in FL and ESL classes 1. Addresses aspect of my course not found elsewhere 2. More current than publisher-produced materials 3. Easy to find/locate
  • 22. *Preliminary* Results (i.e., trends)  OER vs. traditional publisher-produced content
  • 23. *Preliminary* Results (i.e., trends)  OER vs. traditional publisher-produced content
  • 24. *Preliminary* Results (i.e., trends)  Deterrents to using OER in FL and ESL classes 1. No comprehensive catalog of resources 2. Too hard to find what I need 3. Not knowing if I have permission to use or change
  • 25. Research Project #2 Assessing the OER Needs of FL and ESL Educators in the US: High Schools, Community Colleges, and Four-Year Colleges  Focal group interviews to better understand and specify what FL and ESL educators need regarding OER (i.e., materials and technological tools).  Tentative time frame for data collection: Fall 2016
  • 26. This project was financed with the support of the European Commission. This publication is the sole responsibility of the author and the Commission is not responsible for any use that may be made of the information contained therein. The European landscape: short overview of research on OEP in language education Katerina Zourou, LangOER project manager
  • 27. “European” landscape: how homogeneous? • 28 EU countries, each having own national (+regional) policies on OER: dependence on national priorities in education/ on political choices regarding public investment • No central policy (EU) that mandates open policies in education and/or other fields • At EU level: the Communication “Opening Up Education” (2013): recommendation that proposes actions at EU and national levels • Within member states: regions in Europe, with discrepancies in terms of OER adoption differs dramatically, see: Bradley, L., & Vigmo, S. (2014). Open Educational Resources (OER) in less used languages: a state of the art report. http://langoer.eun.org/resources Study available for free in EN, EL, PL, LV, LT, NL, SE & Frisian.
  • 28. “European” landscape: how homogeneous? Subtitle • Fred Mulder (2013): OER expansion in 2001-2010 through some large scale projects run by national policies or small groups of pioneers. Example: Wikiwijs: a ground-breaking iniative in the Netherlands (funded by NL MoE in 2009) enhancing OER uptake in formal education. Funding reduced in 2014 due to new policy priorities. => Today’s imperative: sustainability to mainstream the OER approach.
  • 29. Several challenges still… Persistent confusion Alek Tarkowski at webinar "Moving towards Open Educational Practices“, April 21, 2015 https://eu42.spreed.com/c/740774990/spreed/100/recorder?recording=1#ok
  • 30. Several challenges still… Engaging in OER creation/re-use and its implications on professional identities: fear of criticism/ fear of not being acknowledged “Many colleagues still feel an enormous amount of pressure or sensitivity in relation to critique of their teaching or teaching materials - anyone who is truly invested in their teaching cannot help but be emotionally invested. A low rating on a teaching material may devastate the contributor, and it may not even be their fault (e.g. a resource intended for an upper primary class cannot be expected to work well in a tertiary environment, etc.). This sort of system does not encourage sharing but serves to make people nervous about doing so” (Zourou, in press). => See also Pulker (2013); Whyte et al. (2014).
  • 31. A “European” research on OEP in language education? • No common European research agenda: – Research teams often follow national and institutional timing and priorities on OER. UK being a pioneer (also: 2 language ROER, LORO and Humbox) • Increasing number of cross-national and cross-institutional synergies (e.g. ITiLT, LangOER, ExplOERer projects). • Most common research topics include – OER for less used languages (Borthwick & Dickens, 2013; Tiedau, 2013; Bradley & Vigmo, forthcoming), – crowdsourcing and social networking practices (Lane & al., 2013; Beaven & al., 2013; Tarasowa et al., 2014; Zourou, in press), – the use of OER-based language corpora (Fitzerald, 2013) – OEP from a teaching perspective (Calvi et al., 2013; Beaven, 2015; Borthwick & Gallahger-Brett, 2014).
  • 32. Some research trends • “How to embrace openness” (Comas-Quinn & Borthwick, 2015) => approaches to sharing and reusing open content • OER remix from a design perspective (Colpaert, 2015- MOOCs as OER mashups-; Murray 2015) • Collective learning and communities of practice (online and offline) around OEP, including badging (Kurek, forthcoming; ExplOErer project) http://www.exploerer.gu.se/ Moving To Open Learning Ecologies: not a brand new idea!

  3. Spanish in Texas Development of materials using video samples from the Corpus Editing pedagogically-useful clips and sharing on YouTube Experimenting with TedEd Launching Facebook community, etc.
