We’ve been publicising open education week<\/a> to our students this week, letting them know a bit more about what it means and what they might to explore further on our Departmental website<\/a>.\u00a0 While we took this chance to tell them about OER and open ed more widely, we also blew our own horn a bit too….<\/p>\n

The Department for Continuing Education was one of the first departments to contribute to Oxford’s iTunes U site and Marianne Talbot<\/a>, the Department’s Director of Studies in Philosophy, has had her lectures downloaded more than three million times with two of her podcasts – ‘A Romp Through the History of Philosophy’, and ‘The Nature of Arguments’ – being global number one on iTunes U. You can listen to Marianne’s lectures and other podcasts from the Department’s podcasts site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As well as contributing to the University’s open education initiatives, the Department has undertaken research into the use of open educational resources by tutors and students<\/a> and, where possible, releases the outputs of its teaching and learning projects as OER.<\/p>\n

One example is the Course Design Moodle<\/a>, which highlights examples from some of the Department’s online courses<\/a> and aims to help teachers worldwide to develop their own high-quality online learning resources.<\/p>\n

The Department is also embedding open practices across its work and has just started an exciting new project to create OER as part of the Weekly Classes<\/a> programme. So far, the project has made available more than 150 online resources from 11 weekly classes and will be openly licensing these resources in the future.
