3. OER are
• teaching, learning, and research resources
• reside in the public domain
• have been released under an intellectual
property license that
• permits their free use and
• re-purposing by others

6. • Free access to high-quality
educational resources
• Developed collaboratively,
reviewed, revised, and
shared across institutions.
• Adapted to fit within the
context of specific courses
• To meet the needs of
specific students
• Cost effective compared to
textbooks and other
classroom resources.

7. Faculty
• Save time and energy
• Tailor resources to fit specific context
• Expand interdisciplinary teaching
• Network and Collaborate with Peers
Students

• Easy access

8. Recent results of Florida Virtual Campus’ 2018 Student
Textbook and Course Materials Survey show:
• 64.2% of surveyed students did not purchase a required
textbook because of the cost, which these students felt
resulted in them earning a poor grade (35.6%) or failing a
course (17.2%)
• 42.8% of students surveyed also indicated that they have
taken fewer courses occasionally or frequently
Because of the cost of required textbooks,
• 40.5% did not register for a course

14. • Keep these things in mind when you are
customizing an OER, and creating a derivative
work:
• Check the license on the OER you want to use to
be sure that it allows for derivative works.
• Consider your options for applying a Creative
Commons license to your OER so that others
can access, use, and modify it.
• Keep accessibility in mind. Make your
customized, derivative work accessible to all
learners.

15. • Most commonly used
intellectual property
license

work and make derivative works and remixes based on it
only if they give the author or licensor the credits
(attribution) in the manner specified by these. Since
version 2.0, all Creative Commons licenses require
attribution to the creator and include the BY element.
Share-
alike(SA)
Licensees may distribute derivative works only under a
license identical ("not more restrictive") to the license that
governs the original work. Without share-alike, derivative
works might be sublicensed with compatible but more
restrictive license clauses, e.g. CC BY to CC BY-NC.)

Licensees may copy, distribute, display and perform only
verbatim copies of the work, not derivative works
and remixes based on it. Since version 4.0, derivative
works are allowed but must not be shared.

18. Keep these practices in mind when creating a new OER:
• Work with stakeholders for help with creating new OER, and
to explore options for publishing and sharing your work
• Consider asking faculty or students at your institution or other
institutions to review your OER and provide feedback.
• Follow accessibility guidelines to ensure that everyone can
access and use your OER.
• Select a Creative Commons license that you feel
comfortable with that supports open pedagogy.
• Publish your work in an editable format – especially if you
want others to reuse and remix your work.
• Determine the best place to share your work. Consider options
inside (LMS) and outside (open Web) your campus online
learning spaces.

20. • MASSIVE It should allow access to a very large number
of students, much larger than a face-to-face class, or a
traditional online course.
• OPEN Open has several meanings in MOOCs. On one
hand, the course should be open to everyone and should
not require some prerequisites such as possession of a
qualification or a level of performance in earlier studies.
• ONLINE The course is done remotely via the Internet
and does not require physical attendance at a classroom.
This feature is essential for anyone from anywhere in the
world with an Internet connection can participate in these
courses.
• COURSE It should have some learning objectives to be
achieved by students after certain activities within in a
given period of time.

21. • Series of 10-20 minute lectures with
• Built-in quizzes,
• Weekly auto-graded assignments,
• Teacher moderated discussion forums
• Notable companies include Coursera,
edX, and Udacity

22. xMOOC
• Based on traditional
course structure
characterized by a
specified aim of
completing the course
• Instructor is the expert
provider of knowledge,
and student interactions
are usually limited
• Obtaining certain
knowledge certification of
the subject matter
cMOOC
• Based on connectivist
pedagogy-
aggregated, remixable, re-
purposable, and feeding
forward
• Attempt to connect
learners to each other to
answer questions or
collaborate on joint
projects
• The learners are not
assessed or tested

23. Here are some main platforms offering great
MOOCs:
• Coursera
• edX
• Udacity
• Udemy
• SWAYAM NPTEL

24. • Open access, exposing top level professors at schools
that would otherwise be unavailable to much of the
World's population
• Open courses for all interested, regardless of location,
resulting in a more diverse student base
• Collecting data via computer programs helps closely
monitor the success and failure of each student.
Traditional classroom participation cannot offer this type
of precise information.
• Some enthusiastic professors have found global sharing
of knowledge more appealing.
• Many acknowledge that MOOCs help them reevaluate
their pedagogical methods, while improving knowledge
sharing.
• No tuition fees
