 Hello all and thank you for joining on my talk about designing an open educational resources platform to support continuous learning and all educational sectors. I'm Anna and I come from CSC IT Center for Science which is a state and higher education institutes owned business that makes services for education and science. I only have 10 minutes so this is going to be a fast ride, but the slides are on the conference presentation page and I hope that we can continue to discuss them on the same page and of course if you want to email as well. To give a bit of background, open education or advancing open education might be a bit different in Finland than in other countries, mostly because education in itself is free in Finland. So affordability has not been such a big issue instead we emphasize cooperation between teachers and educational levels and educational institutions and further and continuous education and enabling it. Open education as such is quite new. We have had many initiatives that work with similar issues but do not call it open education as such but currently we have expert panel in open education that is for higher education that does national policies and guidelines. And then we have the library of open educational resources that is a digital library for all educational sectors. It is a very strong library network that does a lot on open education as well as open universities that have a lot of studies. For the background of library of open educational resources, there are many open educational resources in Finland but they are scattered so there are personal blogs or elsewhere and they're hard to find and at the same time we have many initiatives for digitalization of education, which made it possible for us to start a joint infrastructure that connects all the educational levels and all the institutions therein. And also, it was really important that all the educational sectors were there because without it we would not have enough funding to have a national infrastructure. So the library of open educational resources is a digital library. So it's a place to find open educational resources and it's a place to share open educational resources, both the files and metadata. We also emphasize on cooperation so we have a piece and other functions that allow open educational resources to be wherever Finnish people study or work. So for example with libraries and learning management systems. One of our main functions is search and for the shirts we have emphasized on having a basic search as well as narrowing possibilities. So we have one page for all the educational levels, but if you want you can go straight to for example basic education or secondary education materials. We also have other critical maligned information. So for example what sort of learning objects that are teach. The idea is that you start here and you learn wherever you want to learn. So you can take the open educational resources with you as downloads or as embed links. It's also a place for sharing. So if you want to share your open educational resources, you download the files or the link and give us information on for what is it for educational resources. We use learning resource metadata initiative metadata, which is, which has a curriculum information as well and we can get the curriculum and information through Eberostat service which is a service that was existing before us and enables us to have the curriculum information. We also have flexible understanding of open educational resources, meaning that one resource can have many files, and it can have many different sort of files of videos and texts and so on. We also try to find ways to support open educational resources. Otherwise, we have found that quality is a big question when supporting open educational resources. And for our solutions are having creation tools and assessment tools so that the users can assess the quality. We also have, we also embrace continuous development of open educational resources and this we do through version history and references. And as I said, we want the learning resources to be wherever learning is. So we, for example, have cooperation with Vinnna, which is a service for library archive and museums that collects all the information of these institutes to one of you. So it has both open clam resources, open science resources and open educational resources in one view, and also apply a piece so that it that this information can be used elsewhere. So for the design. As I said, we started as a joint effort between educational institutions, educational levels, I mean, sorry. So that also already gave us the principles quite well. So we have stronger together, meaning that we try to find synergies between the educational levels and educational institutions for continuous education. So that we also take in consideration those people that are not currently enrolled within an educational level interoperability so that we are one piece of puzzle that works for different kind of services and openly supporting open, meaning that all our materials and code are to be or are already openly licensed. If something I want for you to hear is cooperation. So I've already said quite many times, but for us, it has been one of the main points to notice that we do not have a formal group of representatives of different educational institutions. Instead, we have different open ways to engage with different different people from different educational institutions and levels. So how does that continuous education and different educational levels. How is it shown in our service. One example is the metadata fields. So basically different educational levels have different curriculum information and they even have different ways of addressing the same issues. For this we try to have both educational specific information when possible and use a language that could be joined between all of us. So for example, when inputting metadata, you first choose your educational level and then you get fields that are specific for that level. But then if you search for a specific educational subject, you get a field that says Opiaine Tutkinto or Tietana line in Finnish, which translates educational to educational job check in English, which is a lot better word, but in Finnish we don't have an equivalent. So we use words that are educational specific, but in a one sentence. Another example is, well, actually the same. So it's furthering from the search perspective. So as we did cooperation with different educational levels, some people find it important that we would have basic education that AOE does see. So this sort of one minute, please wrap up. Yes, that are only for one educational level. But as we did not want that as we want the synergies, we have one view, but with the possibility to narrow it to different educational levels. I'm skipping this cooperation to wrapping it up to say the final words. Yes. So what to learn from us. I think that it's important to survey the field so there are existing differences and similarities that affect new services and I'm pretty sure that there can be examples that make it easier to cooperate. So for example, we have the Aperosta service where we get the information and we have had many different projects that have been doing cooperation between different educational sectors and we can learn from them and we have learned from them. Also, you should have an approach and compromises. So there's always conflicts between different groups. So you need to decide on which group to prioritize or what is the best solution for everyone. And of course, Cooperate. And on that note, if you want to cooperate with us, there's openmodelovarand.cs.fi or my own mail, which is undoubtedly enforced at CSC. Thank you very much. Very interesting development in Finland. And then the next session.
