OER & OEP
Why?

7.
Why open?
Access Equity Pedagogy

8.
Access
Teaching: ◦ Use/adapt small “chunks” of openly-licensed digital
content (OER) such as photos, models, infographics,
assignments, PP slides, etc.
◦ Use/adapt open textbooks

9.
Access
Teaching: ◦ Use/adapt small “chunks” of openly-licensed digital
content (OER) such as photos, models, infographics,
assignments, PP slides, etc.
◦ Use/adapt open textbooks
Learning: ◦ If module resources are OER, students have free,
any-time access (i.e. no cost, no access codes,
digital access outside VLE)

10.
Equity
Supporting all students
◦ Health, safety, wellbeing, meaningful connectivity
◦ Issues: poverty, digital poverty, discontinuous study
◦ Further detail: USI COVID-19 Survey, INDEx Survey, etc.
◦ SDG4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and
promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
◦ OER provide free, continual access to learning materials

11.
Pedagogy
OER is not only a good way of finding/adapting/creating
digital learning content...
◦ Opening learning activities
◦ Opening assessment
◦ New collaboration & partnership possibilities
◦ Students can: connect with current/meaningful issues, co-
create learning materials, contribute to public knowledge

OER & OEP can facilitate these

21.
To wrap up…
Use/adapt OER – when designing online learning, OER are a
great resource; can save time you can use for planning
interaction, designing assessment, etc.)
Create/share OER – when creating online materials or modules,
think about sharing your own adapted/improved/localized
resources openly
Don’t stop at just using OER – opening your pedagogy and
practices (OEP) can help transform learning & empower learners
