About the Course:

Inspired by projects in the Open Education movement such as the University of Michigan’s Open.Michigan, MIT’s OpenCourseWare and Berkeley’s Webcast program, Digital Berkeley seeks to connect students directly to the creation and dissemination of Berkeley course materials. The point of Digital Berkeley is to have students take materials from a Berkeley class, consult the professor(s)/lecturer(s)/facilitator(s) and turn those materials into legal, digital, accessible, usable, Open Educational Resources (OER).

While the long-term goal for this class is to establish an open, free repository for Berkeley course materials in the form of OER, the short-term goal is to connect students to the process of creating OER, and thus forge relationships that will help the project grow as a campus-wide service.

The course will begin with an overview of the Open Education movement, copyright, and alternative licensing. As students become comfortable with these basic topics, they will begin to work on their semester-long OER projects. Precise statements of the course outline and schedule are included below. There will be supplemental discussions/readings throughout the semester. There will also be periodic check-ins, a midterm progress report, and a final presentation.

Students are encouraged to be creative and to share their expertise and experience by collaborating with other students. However, individual progress must be tracked.
