DESCRIPTION
Opening Up ICT Education: Open Source, Open Textbooks, Open Courses, and Open Access Journals The open source pioneers launched the “open” movement in the 1990s with the promotion of freely reusable software and community development. Since that time open textbooks, open courses, and open-access journals have joined the disruptive “open” movement. IEEE, the world's largest technical professional organization, recently announced that all its peer-reviewed journals will offer open-access publishing. Come and find out about the repositories for open textbooks, open courses, and journals that you can freely reuse in your ICT classroom to lower costs and enhance your teaching. This session will help attendees to understand the current open education movement in the context of the early open source initiative and how that eventually lead to the open course movement, open textbooks, and open access journal publishing. The presenter will share the IEEE and ACM policy studies of transformig their scholarly journal business from an “all rights reserved” to “open access option” publishing model. In addition, recent California state higher education policy and legislation that has been supportive of open educational practices to lower costs for students will be discussed. Finally, attendees will have an opportunity to explore national and international repositories for open courses, open textbooks, and open access journals that can be freely re-used in community college ICT classrooms.

OER are teaching, learning, and research resources Reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license (creative commons) that permits their free use and re-purposing by others.
Includes full courses and supplemental resources such as textbooks, images, videos, animations, simulations, assessments with licensed that allow:
• Reuse• Revise• Remix• Redistribute
Open Education Resources

Open ICT Courses
Open ICT Textbooks
•
Open AccessFree, immediate, permanent online access to the full text of research articles for anyone, webwide.
Two Approaches: 1. Author’s institution pays fee for refereeing/publishing outgoing articles instead of charging the or by simply making online edition free for all.
2. Authors provide open access to their own published articles, by making eprints free for all.

Taxpayer Access to Publicly Funded Research
• White House Directive (2013)
Federal agencies with $100M in R&D expenditures must make results of federally funded research freely available to the public within one year of publication
• California State AB 609 Open Access progresses to Senate 2014.
IEEE Open Access Journals• Fully Open Access & Hybrids
– Both are fully peer-reviewed– OA includes Emerging Topics in Computing
• Wireless, mobile, socio-technical special issues
• IEEE Access– Multidisciplinary open access mega journal– Rapid decision, author pays
“IEEE peer-reviewed journals receive more than three times the number of patent citations of
competing publishers.*
ACM Open Access
• Options for Rights Management– Author may choose traditional copyright or may pay for
open access option.
• Open Access at SIG Conferences Option – SIGs will have the option to make the proceedings from
their conferences freely available via the ACM DL
• Many free career resources for students
• Textbooks available to ACM members– Student membership $20.00 annually
Obviousness of “Open”
• Cooperation & Sharing is a win-win– Faculty have more choices– Can improve upon open resources
• Affordability– Students cannot afford textbooks.
• Self-interest– Good things can happen when I share …
• Social Justice Issue– Access to publicly funded research & digital resources
