This document outlines the agenda and goals for a workshop on using Open Educational Resources (OER) in course design. The workshop will [1] describe what OER are, [2] identify different types of OER and where to find them, and [3] have participants integrate OER into the design of their own course. Participants will then [4] reflect on the benefits and challenges of using OER. The goal is to help educators leave with the skills to design open courses using freely available teaching materials.

1. Based on Leonie Meijerink, Martijn Ouwehand, Nelson Ribeiro and Willem van Valkenburg

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.
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

21. TU Delft Examples
• Herman Russchenberg makes use of his own Water
and Climate MOOC materials plus uses MIT OCW in
his campus course

22. CitG lecturer uses the course materials of
Gillian Saunders-Smits on Research methodologies in
his own course

23. User generator content from MOOC
participants into a Book
Arno Smets asked MOOC participants to improve on his
book in his ‘Solar Energy’ MOOC

24. Use ‘Open’ text book in Perusall–
Judith Bosboom Coastal engineering

25. 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?

26. Course Design
Define learning
objectives
Explore OER
Plan Open
Activities
Select & adapt OER Publish OCW
& students’ artefacts

27. 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.

28. Why should you (not) use OER?

29. 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

30. Why should you do it?
•Enhances quality
•Saves time
•Saves money
•Why reinvent the wheel
•Avoid IP issues
•Spirit of openness and sharing-broadens access
•Build reputation/ marketing
•Builds networks/ collaboration
•…

31. And now, what does Open Education
mean to you?

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