With the rapid development of information technologies and the spread of the Internet, universities have been able to extend their learning environments using technology all over their campuses. Numerous universities have implemented OpenCourseWare (OCW) initiatives and OER(Open Educational Resources) development to share their learning materials on the web. In addition, some universities provide free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) with large-scale interactive participation and open access on the Internet. This keynote evaluates the status of the Open Education movement and its dissemination in higher education. It reviews the growth of MOOC movement, activities of MOOC providers and consortiums, introduction MOOC to university education as well as the possible impact on higher education.

In addition, this keynote introduces current open educational practices in Hokkaido region, utilizing OER across campuses to improve student outcomes. In the Hokkaido region, Japan’s second largest island, 7 public universities are pursing such an approach, having recently concluded an agreement to cooperatively develop and deliver components of liberal arts education in a way that will leverage local characters and specializations and will integrate a credit transferring system across the consortium. As part this effort, Hokkaido University, as a leading institution in the consortium, has launched a new organization called Center for Open Education as a central part of the cooperative program. In this context, Center for Open Education simultaneously make use of OER in blended and hybrid settings to improve student engagement and learning outcomes while also contributing back to the commons MOOC and the best of consortium-developed materials. From spring semester in 2014, the consortium starts credit-bearing courses using OER on flipped classroom among institutions. In this July, Hokkaido University opens MOOC on edX reusing consortium-developed materials with English translation. This keynote will discuss lessons learned at the midpoint of the project for institutions that may be interested in pursing similar ventures.
