The Ins and Outs of Building a Digital Curriculum with Free and Open Resources
- 1. Ins & Outs of Using Free & Open Resources for Building Digital Curriculum Dr. Steven Baule Philip Lacey
- 4. Discussion What are you looking for? What are your challenges? Where do you go? Policy Issues? Implementation issues?
- 5. CCSS is causing curricular change One of the immediate issues is that there are few if any truly CCSS-aligned textbook series, so there is a need for more digital curriculum to at a minimum supplement traditional texts. The movement away from text-based curriculum is strong.
- 6. OER, What is it?
- 9. Free, Like a puppy
- 10. Exactly, “Free like a Puppy” = Lots of work For instance instead of history texts with snippets of speeches or documents (and lots of errors), students can have access to the original documents and contemporary commentary. If you thought the Civil War was about “state’s rights” (as most texts articulate), you would be wrong. Read South Carolina’s Declaration of Succession http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/csa_scarsec.asp This definitely requires more work on the part of teachers and curriculum developers, but primary digital resources can remove the filters of editors, state textbook adoption agencies, etc. It can make for a stronger and more engaging curriculum.

Editor's Notes

- OER, What is it? OER is content, not programs (GAFE MS360) or platforms (LMS: Edmodo, Moodle) shared under a CC license Image: Pacific sand crab or Pacific mole crab, is a species of small, sand-burrowing decapod crustacean found living in the sand along the temperate western coasts of America.[1] It is found on exposed sandy beaches in the swash region of the intertidal zone.
- Creative Commons vs Copyright Copy Left vs Copy right Creative commons licensing allows for individuals to share with the world, while retaining their intellectual property rights.
- Implications using of CC material Many users fail to grasp the implications of the attribute and SA concept. If you use something designated SA, you are obligated to share it back with the world, for others to use...
