Online Learning and MOOCsWorking meeting: Thurs Nov. 29, 3:30pm-5:00pmWhat do we want to achieve? I'd be interested in hearing about: (a) status quo on Coursera courses (b) status quo on UBC tech & admin support for online courses (if any) (c) reasons for and against investing heavily in online courses -- MichielVanDePanne - 01 Oct 2012 all of the above. -- KevinLeytonBrown - 03 Oct 2012 With regard to (c), I'm interested in better understanding how current developments with online learning and MOOCS can help us provide the best education that we can for our students. I'm also interested in thoughts on whether the department should provide resources to faculty who are developing MOOCS on an ongoing basis, and if so, what types of resources and based on what criteria. -- AnneCondon - 09 Oct 2012 Given the interest in the topic, we (Anne, Gregor, Raymond, Michiel and I) have arranged a working meeting on Online Learning to be held Thu., Nov. 29, 3:30pm-5:00pm in X836. (It's in the CS events calendar - mark yours: https://www.cs.ubc.ca/news-events/calendar/2012-11-29 By online learning we mean the full spectrum from simply uploading our lectures, putting them on YouTube on the UBC CS channel, through the flipped classroom to the full-on MOOC experience (making and using same). There have been many recent developments we could discuss. Another reason for doing this is simply that the topic cuts across many of our committee mandates. I count seven with a finger in the pie: Program Experience, Science Education Initiative, Teaching and Learning Services, Communications, Space and Safety, Faculty Affairs and Computing. So there's a need for communication, coordination and for some mandate engineering. Do we need a single forum? What should that be? How should we coordinate? Do we need more transparency? What support is available? Where is this all going? ..... We'll need to decide what we want to achieve in this meeting and how to structure it. To that end Michiel has created a twiki page where you can leave suggestions as to what you want to get out of this meeting: https://bugs.cs.ubc.ca/cgi-bin/twiki/logon/Faculty/OnlineLearning![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() > > http://delivery.acm.org/10.1145/2370000/2366317/p5-vardi.pdf?ip=64.46.3.10&acc=OPEN&CFID=132282402&CFTOKEN=22415908&__acm__=1351178903_6bb9079704ea4d1ac600564c5c39245b ![]() > > Enjoy! > > Holger > -- AlanMackworth - 25 Oct 2012 From UBC University Counsel Re: IP and recording and posting lectures Subject: RE: question regarding intellectual property an posting to YouTube Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2012 23:27:59 +0000 From: Jaworski, Michal <mxj@mail.ubc.ca> To: ditchfld@csDELETEthisTEXT.ubc.ca <ditchfld@cs.ubc.ca> CC: Hancock, Paul <paul.hancock@ubc.ca> Moyra, Thanks for your email. You've asked a good question, and one on which there is little publicly available guidance at this time. What I can tell you is this: - Policy – There is no specific Board of Governors’ policy about faculty recording their lectures and posting them on publically available sites, such as YouTube. o it may be that some faculties have rules or guidelines about this, but our office is not generally involved in developing or enforcing these. The Faculty member should satisfy him/herself themselves about any applicable faculty-specific rules or guidelines. o also, Faculty members may wish to consult with the folks in the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology, who have lots of resources to assist faculty members. o Faculty members and faculties should, of course, consider the implications of using YouTube and consider whether this is the best way to achieve their goals. The University has published a Social Media Guidelines that give faculty members and faculties an overview of the suggestions and tips for establishing any sort of social media campaign (which would include YouTube).

Original Message----- From: Moyra Ditchfield [mailto:ditchfld@cs.ubc.ca] Sent: October-04-12 7:30 AM To: Moxham, Elizabeth Subject: question regarding intellectual property an posting to YouTube Hi, In the Department of Computer Science we have several faculty interested in recording their lectures and then posting them to YouTube. Can you tell me what the UBC policy is for a faculty posting lecture material to YouTube? Is it up the each faculty member to approve this for themselves or do they need permission from their department head or someone else? Is there any UBC process they need to follow prior to posting the lectures? Any information you can shed on this would be most appreciated.

0. What do we want to get out of this meeting?
1. General Discussion of Scope of Online Learning
By online learning (OL) we mean the full spectrum from simply uploading lectures, putting them on YouTube on the UBC CS channel, through the flipped classroom and online forums to the full-on MOOC experience (making and using same). Current and future trends. Coursera, Udacity, edX, … Business models.
2. Current Status at UBC
a) status quo on current Coursera courses
b) status quo on UBC tech & admin support for online courses (if any)
c) Status of UBC decision making and cttees: "Flexible Learning"
3. Implications for CS@UBC
a) Short term
Should the department provide resources to faculty who are developing OL and MOOCS on an ongoing basis, and if so, what types of resources and based on what criteria?
What resources does the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) provide?
b) What role can and should online courses play in our existing courses?
c) How can current developments with OL and MOOCS help us provide the best education that we can for our students?
d) Decision making
OL is now in the mandate of our Program Experience Cttee (PEC). PEC will take the lead.
But OL cuts across seven other committees: Science Education Initiative, Teaching and Learning Services, Communications, Space and Safety, Faculty Affairs, Finance and Computing. So there's a need for communication and coordination led by PEC.
How do we decide on what facilities and support to offer?
e) Reasons for and against investing heavily in online courses
f) How do we encourage communication and sharing of OL knowledge and best practices?
4. IP issues
Copyright – Faculty members hold the copyright in the lecture notes that they have authored and their performance of their lecture notes. This means that they, as the copyright holder, may choose how to distribute their material. If they want to publish it on YouTube, that’s their prerogative. But lecture materials are often developed by more than an individual faculty member, especially well-produced OL material.
If the faculty member does not have copyright to any material that is being presented or otherwise made visible on the video (e.g. photos, charts, etc. from textbooks), the faculty member must ensure that they comply with copyright law (see www.copyright.ubc.ca for guidance). In particular, the Digital Classroom Frequently Asked Questions has good information about this: http://copyright.ubc.ca/faq/digital-classroom/![]() | ||||||||
