“Your OERs will outlive you: Open Education in the long term” – Day 1 at 09.45.

This talk is about the seeming paradox of the long-term sustainability of educational resources which need continuous evolution to stay relevant. The preservation of the utility of educational content is more challenging than just preserving that content. I will defend a web-of-knowledge approach rather than an atomistic approach. In the increasing ubiquity of these webs of knowledge justifies optimism about the sustainability of open educational resources and communities.

Professor Ewan Klein

Ewan is Professor of Language Technology in the University of Edinburgh’s School of ewan kleinInformatics, where his areas of research include the semantic web, open data and the human-data interface. He was recently appointed as joint lead of the SICSA Future Cities Research Theme and is part of a core group piloting an experimental Internet of Things network on the University of Edinburgh’s campus. As the Scottish Ambassador for Open Knowledge International, Ewan has been instrumental in building a cross-sector local network for people interested in open data and related topics.

Talk summary:

A Living Lab methodology involves carrying out research “in the wild”, where as far as possible we treat human participants as co-creators rather than experimental subjects, and try to address research issues that are embedded in everyday situations. We use a wide variety of kinds of data, both qualitative and quantitative, and treat evidence as a contested space which is open to negotiation. The approach raises a number of challenges for data sharing and data repositories. I will focus on two salient (and related) issues: (i) an increasingly large volume of data will be streamed from sensors, and (ii) much of the data collected is likely to be personal.

Ewan will be delivering his keynote on Day 1 at 13.15.

‘The Secret Diary of a Repository Aged 13 ¾’ – Day 2 at 15.30.

Now that many of our repositories are entering their teenage years, it’s good to look back at what they have achieved, how they are reacting to becoming teenagers, what their peer group are doing, and where they are going next. Or better put: what are their exam grades, what are they wearing, what music are they listening to, and who are they hanging out with?
