Don’t want to develop your new course from scratch, but you’d rather reuse what others have already created? Have you ever considered integrating a MOOC in your campus course? In this practical workshop you’ll create your open course design. You will learn where to find educational resources available for reuse and how to integrate them (including MOOCs) in your course design.

2. After this workshop you will be able to:
1. Describe what OER are
2. Reflect on why you could use them
3. Identify and find different types of OER
4. Come up with a few examples on how you could
integrate OER in your course design and delivery.
Goals

5. What is OER?
Have you used OER?
Have you produced OER?

6. Open Education:
Open Education "...is the simple and powerful
idea that the world’s knowledge is a public
good and that technology in general and the
Worldwide Web in particular provide an
extraordinary opportunity for everyone to
share, use, and reuse knowledge."
The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation

7. Open Educational Resources (OER)
“OER are teaching, learning, and research
resources
that reside in the public domain or have been
released under an intellectual property license
that permits their free use and re-
purposing by others.

8. Open Educational Resources (OER)
Open educational resources include:
full courses, course materials, modules,
textbooks, streaming videos, tests,
software, and any other tools, materials,
or techniques used to support access to
knowledge.”
The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation

9. Why should you (not) use OER?

10. Why should you NOT do it?
•How do I assess the quality? (It’s free so can’t be good
enough)
•Takes more time than when I do it myself
•The context is often not relevant
•The level is often not good
•I am the expert in this area
•It is hard to find exactly what you are looking for

11. Why should you do it?
•Enhances quality
•Saves time
•Exposes me to new insights, I get Inspired
•It adds on to my own teaching
•OER can be usefull to fill a gap in entrylevels
•OER can be useful to re-explain the contents to students
•Saves money
•Why reinvent the wheel
•Avoid IP issues
•Spirit of openness and sharing-broadens access
•Build reputation/ marketing
•Builds networks/ collaboration
•…

“UCI is a member of Coursera. Why aren’t you offering these
courses on one or another MOOC platforms?
We think that Coursera is a great platform, but it may not be the
optimal platform for transfer of educational resources by other
universities or community colleges. By publishing the video lectures
with an open, Creative Commons license, another institution may
incorporate one, two or all of the video lectures as may fit their
needs. Furthermore, they don’t have to ask permission. Permission
is granted in advance through the license selection. Also, a learner
can access these resources regardless of course dates.”

23. Course Design
Learning objectives
By the end of
this course
students will
be able to…
Learning activities
What actions will
students perform to
meet the objectives?
Discussion, case-
study, exercises,
group work, quiz,
peer-review, etc.
Resources
What can I reuse?
What do I need to
produce?
Textbook, video,
animation, article,
website, etc.
Assessment
How will
students be
assessed?

24. Course Design
1. Define learning
objectives
2. Explore OER
3. Plan open
activities
4. Select & adapt OER 5. Publish OCW
& students’ artefacts

25. Take Away Exercise
Activity: How could you integrate OER
in different stages of course
design/delivery
Everyone can ‘steal’ resources, objectives, images, video etc. But how
can you make use of these ‘OER’ to improve your education process?
Pick one course /topic (from your group) and try and come up with
examples on how you could use OER in the different stages of course
design and course delivery.

26. Finally, The Big Question is….
Will we be able to find an
OER produced by you/
your team next year?
