1. Resource
Reuse
Card

(v2)
Chris Pegler

2. Instructions
This set of cards is based on factors identified in Chris Pegler’s research into reuse
of digital online resources and her National Teaching Fellowship project activity.
This resource, as part of the ORIOLE project and was funded through Chris’s NTF
award. It has been further developed as OLNET activity.
• blue cards relate to MOTIVATION factors – what is the purpose/driver
• grey cards relate to TECHNICAL factors – how this may affect reuse
• pink cards relate to QUALITY factors – level and how determined
A variety of ‘games’ can be played one-on-one or as a group sorting activity to
inform teaching or research. Lots of debate/discussion potential. Examples of use
and link to editable cards: http://orioleproject.blogspot.co.uk/p/shop_16.html
The images used in these cards are released under creative commons licenses.
Please preserve their attributions. You are free to adapt within those licenses.
Please let Chris know if anything comes from your particular reuse or
if you have comments on this particular resource. c.a.pegler@open.ac.uk
NOTE: These cards are formatted to print as Moo.com Business Cards.
