Why be open?2
Several (good!) arguments to be open
• technical argument
• political argument
• economical argument
• evolutionary argument
• educational argument
One could turn the question:
why NOT be open...?
Technical argument:There is, technically spoken, no education without being Open

teachers share
knowledge, experiences,
feedback, knowhow, criticism,
insights, respect, engagement,...
students share
papers, practice examples, insights,
criticism, respect, answers to questions,
engagement,... (and sometimes hard
questions)
Education = magic! one can share something without losing it.

Why pay times for education, if you
already paid for it?
as your taxes are
being used to pay
education's bills...!

• Won't editors' businesses crash?o Research1 shows evidence that in many cases the
sale of books increases when an online version is offered open (and for free)
• Exposure o organisational level
• university• school
o individual level• teachers• researchers
"Wow! Have you seen what kind of
high quality research and education
this university has to offer!? You should
check it out!
Evolutionary argument:
• Being Open
Quantity of feedback will increase
Benefits for your course materials
Benefits for your own students
• Being open and creative / innovative
More exposure
More feedback
Etc...
Educational argumentsPresence in the educational world
Use open courses to show to candidate students what your education looks like Take away their doubts about the educational culture and the level of
courses at university: "will I be able to understand the scientific articles that are part of the course materials at university?"
Use open courses to give students extra study support
Use open courses to support students with learning difficulties or disabilities
By opening up 'stumble courses' and providing them with weblectures, students can rewatch the lecture. They get a second chance to understand the learning content.
Easily adapt learning materials to e.g. visually impaired students. Or provide weblectures with subtitles to help hearing-impaired students.
Teach your students in a "flipped classroom" systemLet them gather the information by taking an Open Course, online, before they come to class. In the classroom you can come to deeplevel learning using interaction between students.
So...
Why NOT be Open?

cMOOC
• Studentgestuurd – contact
tussen peers is primair
• Geen strakke
voorgeschriften qua
doelstellingen en/of
assignments
• Lerende stelt eigen
doelstellingen op
• Communities creating
knowledge rol van leraar
ligt heel anders
• Autonomie troef!
• Nadelen:• ‘chaotic experience’
• Moeilijk te graden
xMOOC• Docentgestuurd• Kern zijn de lessen door docent gegeven (vaak weblectures)• Sluit discussiefora en/of ‘samen-leren’ niet uit• Nadelen:
• Discussiefora vaak niet gemodereerd• Eén teacher voor heel veel studenten
