Section 1 examines contemporary discourses around open education, offering a commentary on the perception of openness as both a disruptive force in education, and a potential solution to contemporary challenges. Section 2 examines the implications of the lack of consensus around what it means to be open, focusing on the example of commercial and proprietary claims to openness commonly known as ‘openwashing’. Section 3 uses Raymond's influential essay on open source software ‘The Cathedral and the Bazaar’ as a framework for thinking through these issues, and about alternative power structures in open education. In Section 4, an explicit link is drawn between more equal and democratic power structures and the possibility for developing pedagogies which are critical and reflexive, providing examples which show how certain interpretations of openness can raise opportunities to support critical approaches to pedagogy.}, number = {2}, urldate = {2020-01-13}, journal = {Learning, Media and Technology}, author = {Farrow, Robert}, month = apr, year = {2017}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.1080/17439884.2016.1113991 4804264:DFTVDUK7}, keywords = {Final\_citation, MOOC, OER, cited, critical pedagogy, critical theory, critique, discourse analysis, evidence, existing, open education, openwashing}, pages = {130--146}, } @article{pitt_supporting_2020, title = {Supporting open educational practices through open textbooks}, volume = {41}, issn = {0158-7919}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1080/01587919.2020.1757411}, doi = {10.1080/01587919.2020.1757411}, abstract = {There has been little research into the impact of textbook costs on higher education in the United Kingdom. To better understand textbook use patterns and the issues faced by UK students and educators the UK Open Textbooks Project (2017–2018, http://ukopentextbooks.org/)) conducted quantitative survey research with United Kingdom educators in September 2018. This article reports on the findings of this survey, which focussed on awareness of open educational resources; textbook use and rationale; awareness and use of open textbooks; and open licensing. Results reveal fertile ground for open textbook adoption with potential to support a wide range of open educational practices. The findings indicate strategies for supporting pedagogical innovation and student access through the mainstream adoption of open textbooks.}, number = {2}, urldate = {2021-03-24}, journal = {Distance Education}, author = {Pitt, Rebecca (Beck) and Jordan, Katy and Arcos, Beatriz de los and Farrow, Robert and Weller, Martin}, month = apr, year = {2020}, note = {Publisher: Routledge \_eprint: https://doi.org/10.1080/01587919.2020.1757411}, keywords = {United Kingdom, higher education, open educational practices (OEP), open educational resources (OER), open pedagogy, open textbooks}, pages = {303--318}, } @article{bozkurt_speculative_2023, title = {Speculative {Futures} on {ChatGPT} and {Generative} {Artificial} {Intelligence} ({AI}): {A} {Collective} {Reflection} from the {Educational} {Landscape}}, copyright = {Copyright (c) 2023 Asian Journal of Distance Education}, issn = {1347-9008}, shorttitle = {Speculative {Futures} on {ChatGPT} and {Generative} {Artificial} {Intelligence} ({AI})}, url = {http://www.asianjde.com/ojs/index.php/AsianJDE/article/view/709}, abstract = {While ChatGPT has recently become very popular, AI has a long history and philosophy. This paper intends to explore the promises and pitfalls of the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) AI and potentially future technologies by adopting a speculative methodology. Speculative future narratives with a specific focus on educational contexts are provided in an attempt to identify emerging themes and discuss their implications for education in the 21st century. Affordances of (using) AI in Education (AIEd) and possible adverse effects are identified and discussed which emerge from the narratives. It is argued that now is the best of times to define human vs AI contribution to education because AI can accomplish more and more educational activities that used to be the prerogative of human educators. Therefore, it is imperative to rethink the respective roles of technology and human educators in education with a future-oriented mindset.}, language = {en}, urldate = {2023-03-15}, journal = {Asian Journal of Distance Education}, author = {Bozkurt, Aras and Xiao, Junhong and Lambert, Sarah and Pazurek, Angelica and Crompton, Helen and Koseoglu, Suzan and Farrow, Robert and Bond, Melissa and Nerantzi, Chrissi and Honeychurch, Sarah and Bali, Maha and Dron, Jon and Mir, Kamran and Stewart, Bonnie and Costello, Eamon and Mason, Jon and Stracke, Christian M. and Romero-Hall, Enilda and Koutropoulos, Apostolos and Toquero, Cathy Mae and Singh, Lenandlar and Tlili, Ahmed and Lee, Kyungmee and Nichols, Mark and Ossiannilsson, Ebba and Brown, Mark and Irvine, Valerie and Raffaghelli, Juliana Elisa and Santos-Hermosa, Gema and Farrell, Orna and Adam, Taskeen and Thong, Ying Li and Sani-Bozkurt, Sunagul and Sharma, Ramesh C. and Hrastinski, Stefan and Jandrić, Petar}, month = mar, year = {2023}, keywords = {\_r:ImportedToMyEducationEvidence, artificial intelligence (AI), artificial intelligence in education (AIEd), future educational perspectives, generative pre-trained transformer (GPT), natural language processing, speculative methodology, ⛔ No DOI found}, }
