allow me to talk about ETA alluring and
eerie search or teachers and learners
become co-creators of academic texts in
these digital times I'm fortunate to be
able to teach with you P open university
designed to be in the core of open
distance e-learning in 2001 we have
noticed that academic text in hard print
into you know as gun hypertext visual
text as hyper media in audio and moving
the images is hyper multimedia rich
media all we've been migrating to the
internet after weighing its pros and
cons you P Open University has decided
to get into online learning to enhance
the learning experiences of our students
and to reach more Filipinos here and
abroad
so today our students comfortable over
60 locations in more than 40 countries
across the globe the various creation
also coincided with inception on the
Internet in the Philippines from the
time the university was established to
the time the internet took off in the
country the university has not invested
much in physical infrastructure
associated with earlier models of
distance education this made it easier
for the university to get into online
models of delivery and digital mode of
printing like print on demand and in
2007 we adopted resource-based learning
as an approach to course development and
the internet was a rich source of open
educational resources and we decided to
top on this for our courses we were also
err that to participate in the knowledge
Commons means that we needed to be
producers and contributors of oer and
not just mere consumers we're also
believed we also believe that we have
the responsibility to tell and share
with the rest of the world the filipino
perspectives narratives experiences and
solutions and there is a part of move
toward sharing and respecting cultural
diversity this is part of participating
in what we call as cultural dialogues
and so the stablishment of you pou
networks came about a web base station
where we share our educational videos
and in addition we have conducted the
series of workshops to craft policies
that will guide the university in the
creation utilisation and distribution of
OE ours to further expand a reach but
under the university's mandate of public
service and extension we offered in the
in 2013 the first massive open online
course book on Android apps developed it
and this is followed and by many more
MOOCs and we have collaborated networked
and partnered with different
institutions for course development and
production Odell assured and the greater
concern for openness and new peerless
engagement with books massive open
online courses which are free for all to
enter and to call for higher education
to doors the use of open educational
resources oer is part of a movement for
openness for sharing free in it smokes
in our massive open online courses which
we call modal this type of oer should
have original text and must use ours as
references
well an online course is not
automatically oer or an all-year is not
necessarily a course it can also be just
a material a photo or an essay or an
article or podcast or a documentary or a
video informational material we are
hoping to have many more module courses
and MOOCs and now we are producing
master voices as oer this will be
sharing of ideas coming from national
artists - allure scientists professors
emeriti and also the university
scientists and university artists for
general education courses model is also
being studied for credit to be
accessible for all faculty and students
of all soaks and hei I'd like to share
with you my courses to be more specific
very quickly this is this forum that is
some way we we do want to adapt and for
many other courses that we have and for
my courses are in this mode but the rest
of my courses on theory are mostly
interactive print with sprinkling of
video references linked they are links
to video references so like in my course
mmm as one one one gender and multimedia
I would just think you know my courses
as an example here and in the multimedia
courses I teach for example on top of
serious principles and production I
consider my classes as research classes
as well and this contributes in assuring
in new knowledge in our discipline i
facilitate the maximum exchange of ideas
among my students through online forums
and students submit their papers and
multimedia requirements online and
conduct and disseminate their research
using multimedia approaches and formats
I do need to sit back and give both
qualitative and numerical assessment and
our students are considered as
co-creators of academic text if you
google mm f-111 gender in multimedia
you'll be able to access the videos that
are produced by my students and I teach
while I've been teaching multimedia and
as research and have pushed the
thickening of the discourse on gender
and what I needed and I've been teaching
this course since 2008 and there are
more than a thousand videos that are
there large in YouTube and Vimeo
available for access you bail you had to
prepare faculty members by doing
training and workshops in course writing
instructional design and be familiar
with virtual learning management systems
our my portal and the virtual classroom
in addition to training we have also
conducted roundtable discussions as I
said earlier and where we share with
each other our teaching learning
experiences and practices I will just
take my courses again in the multi music
courses I teach on top of theories
principles and production and pushing
again research and I facilitate the the
maximum exchanges when it comes to
disseminating the research and what I
media approaches I do this not daily not
weekly but probably three times a month
to be able to have time for my students
to chew on the materials and for them to
with papers synthesis papers and also
reflection papers I also tap the social
media like YouTube and Vimeo to conduct
exhibits and festivals for my students
so elevator works for public discourse
and have feedback from the communities
of practice mandating my students to
produce only original text and elicit
reflective thinking from my students I
have also produced video lectures of my
own that are accessible other upo
networks and also as all yours in rich
media I give them relevant guide
questions which they can ponder on as
very engaged with the course materials
as you can see my students and I go
beyond the use of our LMS which we call
my portal and beyond the online forums
chats
video conferencing and the course guide
and resources listings it is important
for my courses to be preserving and
promoting multiculturalism and cultural
heritage through O'Dell
let's look at the latest course that I
have been developing and it should not
be past tense because the course
development is a dynamic continuing
experience that is the core of helping
expand and enhance audience Studies as a
whole and particularly my course art in
ASEAN region which is option 2 to 2 the
aspiration of the ASEAN perspective of
ASEAN studies one dated that the course
materials developed and the others to be
developed carried with it the authentic
voices of the different and diverse
cultures of the region the use of
written words alone may not be doing
justice to the need for authenticity
in the capturing of the true beat of the
art and culture of each nation and the
course has started with the geography
with the main author as a videographer
of course we have our multimedia crew
and staff and our our artistic staff to
be part of it in some of the art artwork
and artists and other players in the art
scene of ASEAN region are all involved
in doing these documentaries it is most
important that authentic voices of the
artists architects cultural sociologists
the anthropologists art curators are
traders art patrons national and local
cultural officials and other
stakeholders in art and culture are
captured in the video this automatically
reproduces academic texts orally and
visually putting forth the importance of
developing and strengthening other forms
of literacy as in orality and virtuality
this is most crucial as we would like to
show the uniqueness and the diversity of
our culture's and identities our
region's respect for our diversity of
cultures is our richness and our
strengths as awesome here are some

for the art in asean region

collaborating with five Austrian open
universities in designing developing and
producing an open distance e-learning
course delivered fully online maximising
multimedia redefines contemporary
academic partnerships the Chosin need in
a multimedia brings opening distance
e-learning and a different level of
teaching teaching learning and research
in the digital era in course development
production and delivery which highlights
the properties of this course as
participatory constructivist and
collaborative collaboration promotes
multiculturalism by capturing authentic
voices in an engaging process of
documentary making shared by members
with multicultural backgrounds
practicing consensus building dynamic
discourse and dialogue it is most
important to note that the identifier of
the documents and art forms in each
Austen country is the collaboration with
our partner institutions so in this
particular instance we have Hanoi
Oakland University we have Open
University of Malaysia and the sukhothai
tomatillo Open University and University
of Rochester Boca of Indonesia and so
here we have an example of capturing the
visuality of the different arts of these
countries synthesis paper ways of seeing
warrant in asean is also a requirement
in this particular course a synthesis
paper is analysis in or critic of the
materials read
and you it focuses on the highlights and
presents the gist and significance of
the materials in understanding the
subject matters presented then we have
ASEAN art forum where students are to
read view and recommend through
comprehensive annotation to our
community of ASEAN scholars on what are
the most useful articles on art from
each ASEAN country so there has been a
lot of exchanges where students and
faculty alike research in art in art
making use of art as epistemological
lens art research methods and multimedia
research forum and exhibition space
where students are to submit a short
write-up annotation of documentary and
the video production that they have
themselves produced these are all
original video documentaries that they
have produced then we have the top three
choices where students are to view all
video documentaries by their classmates
and submit their top three choices out
of the productions that have been
submitted by the students as co-creators
and academic texts the works were
revealed and critic in terms of content
the learners interacted with their
community with diverse cultural heritage
as co-creators of text in producing
their individual documentaries they tilt
their cameras to their community and
interviewed took footage and mingled
with artists art patrons art enthusiasts
and the people of the community whose
lives have been touched by the art forms
and the process the processes that go
with it in its creation
when interaction of learner and
community and practice
and presenting the reaction and insights
show the transformation as online
students into co-creators of academic
text and they're becoming active agents
of preserving and promoting cultural
heritage in what follows our multimedia
footage on activities and output of the
students and learning and multimedia
research documentaries as I have been
saying this is why we have adopted
O'Dell open distance e-learning as a
framework as philosophy as a worldview
we now live in an increasingly open and
interconnected world
we who are with educational institutions
need to examine our approaches in
teaching and learning in the light of
the demands of the global era and the
digital age we need to produce graduates
who have the ability to seek new and
research on information from different
sources communicate these knowledge in
various forms and situations and
translate these information into action
in different cultural contexts they are
innovative creative critical thinkers
make evidence-based decisions and have
good communication skills open education
offers a range of possibilities and it
is up to us to find out how we can apply
it to transform the lives of our people
and our nation
