Editor's Notes
- Open – what does it mean when something is “open”? (free, available, ….)Open Educational Resources (OER) – have you heard this term before? What does it mean to you?Open Education Movement - "The Open Educational Resources movement began in 2001 when the Hewlett and the Andrew W. Mellon foundations jointly funded MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW), the first institution committed to making all of its course materials freely available. Since then, more than 60 additional institutions have launched OpenCourseWare Web sites.“ (Baker, 2009)

- Creative Commons – a nonprofit organization
- Many sites offer groups of materials already provided in whole course format or in learning modules. OCW – 50+ participating universities and affiliatesKaplan offers 11 courses under the CC-BY-NC-ND license as part of the OCW
- We seem to always be looking for ways to add interest to our courses. This usually takes the form of visual elements and multimedia – these can be the most problematic in terms of time and resources – take a look at some of the existing online items that could be helpful to your students – video, audio (podcasts), images…
- From: http://cnx.org/content/m14466/latest/ - Judy Baker (2009)Some benefits of OER include: * Fosters pedagogical innovation and relevance that avoids teaching from the textbook * Broadens use of alternatives to textbooks while maintaining instructional quality * Lowers costs of course materials for studentsSome disadvantages of OER include: * Quality of available OER materials inconsistent * Materials may not meet Section 508 ADA accessibility or SCORM requirements and must be modify to bring into compliance * No common standard for review of OER accuracy and quality * Need to check accuracy of content * Customization necessary to match departmental and/or college curriculum requirements * Technical requirements to access vary * Technological determinism created by the delivery tool
- 1)Commercial v. non-commercial – should others be allowed to offer the material for a fee?Share alike – should others be required to make their versions and revisions of the original work available for yet others to revise?Derivatives – should the original work be considered only as-is, as a whole, without changes or can the original work be modified or used in part?
