Knowing the OCW project .

In 2012, the plaintiff through INESPEC Platform OCW intended to publish to the academic world. There are already several scholarly works , between Neuroscience and Pharmacology ( list at the end of the book , e-book ) . Thus , I feel the urge to declare in public the global importance of this project for society and for the author (who in all his books published in the virtual one has read about for more than 150,000 readers in Spanish, English , among others).

OpenCourseWare also identified with the acronym OCW , is a term applied to the contents generated by universities and shared freely all over the internet . The movement was led by the OCW MIT in October 2002 by the launch of MIT OpenCourseWare . From this movement of MIT , several other universities have started creating their own designs OCW . Today there are more than 200 universities in the world working on this new concept of releasing the knowledge generated in academia for everyone. A perfect socialization of knowledge making it available both for teachers , students and self-learners around the world. According to the OCW Consortium requests that certain requirements are followed , such as : You can not have commercial purposes , must contain a reference to the institution that publishes original and, where appropriate, the name of the author of the material , the material resulting from use OCW should be free for others to use and be subject to these same requirements . FGV in Brazil is the first educational institution in Brazil to present a project OCW . The author (Silva , César Augusto Venancio . PHARMACOLOGY COURSE - Volume III - 1st Edition - 2013 ) on your website http://farmaciaead2013.blogspot.com.br/ maintain a link for access to the portal Veduca ( For courses in pharmacy and Medicine ) and now includes over 5000 video lessons available for 16 educational institutions by the OpenCourseWare project , organized in 21 subjects . The content is subtitled in Portuguese.

UNESCO.

The books of Professor César Augsto Venancio da Silva will join the NETWORK of open educational resources ( OER ) as part of an effort by the international community to create Internet -driven educational goods belonging to humanity . A current definition of REA , made in collaboration with the OER community in Brazil was adopted by UNESCO / COL : " The OER are teaching materials , learning and research in any form or media that are in the public domain or are licensed openly , allowing them to be accessed, used , adapted and redistributed by others . use of technical formats facilitates open access and potential reuse of resources. the REA may include full courses , parts of courses , modules , guides for students , notes , textbooks , research articles , videos , assessment tools , interactive features such as simulations and role-playing games , databases , software , applications ( including mobile versions ) and any other educational resource utility . OER movement is not synonymous with learning on online , distance learning or education through mobile devices . REA Many - even that can be shared via digital formats - can also be printed . " Including the present work . There is no single definition of what constitutes an open educational resource . However , newer definition and participation of actors from different countries and study area has helped to build a more robust definition for movement . In an event organized by UNESCO in July 2012 , the " Paris OER Declaration " REA defines as: " teaching materials , learning and research in any media , digital or otherwise , which is situated within the public domain or have been released under open license that allows access, use , adaptation and free redistribution by third parties , by any restriction or few restrictions . the open licensing is built within the existing structure of intellectual property rights , such as those defined by international conventions , and respects authorship of the work . " The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation propose the following definition for OER : " REA are resources for teaching , learning and research that reside in the public domain or has been published under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and remixing by others. OER include full courses , course content , modules , books , videos , tests , software and any other tools , materials or techniques used to support and enable access to knowledge . " A report, OLCOS Roadmap 2012 , notes that there is no established definition for OER and prefers to identify three key attributes to be followed : What access to open content (INCLUDING metadata ) is provided free by educational institutions , content providers and users end as teachers , students and students free; what content is licensed in a generous so it can be reused in educational activities and free of restrictions that prevent you from being modified , combined and remixed. Consequently , this content will have a design ideal for easy reuse within the Free Standards and formats being employed ; What systems and tools used have the source code available ( ie free software ) and are offered Application Programming Interfaces ( open APIs ) and authorizations to re - use Web services as well as resources ( eg for educational content RSS ) . The universe includes REA : Content: full courses , course materials , threads of content , learning topics , collections and journals , among others . Tools: Software to support the creation , delivery, use and improvement of open learning content including searching and organization of content , content management system and learning tools, content development , and online learning communities . Resources for implementation: intellectual property licenses to promote open publishing of materials, design principles and establish content localization. Practices: narratives of use, publishing, techniques, methods, processes, incentives and distribution . Unlike open education and distance education ( DE ), OER resources are focused on themselves and the practices associated with these.

REASONS TO BE THIS ACADEMIC PUBLISHING .

CONCEPTS OpenCourseWare and OCW site. The concept OperCourseWare. OCW (OpenCourseWare) initiative is a large-scale electronic publishing, which began in April 2001 , based on internet and founded jointly by MIT ( Massachusetts Institute of Technology , its acronym in English ) in collaboration with the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon .

Your initial goal is :

1. Providing free access , simple and consistent teaching materials for educators of the nonprofit sector , students and self-learners around the world.

The success made possible the second objective :

2 . Create a flexible movement based on an efficient model that other universities may emulate when publishing their own teaching materials generating synergies and opportunities for collaboration .

What is an OCW site ?

Web space containing teaching materials for use in higher education .

These materials represent a set of resources ( documents , programs , calendars , ... ) used in the teaching - learning of the subjects that are taught by teachers .

They are offered freely and are universally accessible over the network .

Its diffusion is not limited by issues related to intellectual property.

Its use , reuse , adaptation and distribution are allowed with certain restrictions .

What is not an OCW site ?

There is , a service of distance education and, therefore , authorize or opens the possibility of access through the content , teachers - the same authors , nor entitle to claim any credit or recognition by the institution.

A OCW site will not have , therefore, the forums or mail or other means of interaction between teachers and students . A Not Made the OCW site will have , therefore, the forums or mail or other means of interaction between teachers and students .

Materials uploaded to a site OCW .

We present two levels of reuse:

a) Structured and in combination , they all make a proposal for a study in the context of a full story . Therefore , it is proposed to incorporate not only documents of studies , but also the set of materials that a teacher or a student uses to study the matter : Program , Calendar , teaching guide , proposed activities , etc. ;

b ) Individually, each study document meta- data are incorporated and becomes a package on " learning object " , in order to be part of other " digital libraries" and to be reused in other contexts .
