The document discusses the benefits and challenges of using open educational resources (OER) for course development. Some key benefits mentioned include decreased development time through collaboration and sharing of content, improved quality through remixing of resources, and cost savings. Challenges include issues with technology, the time required, reluctance to share or accept others' work, and different learning management systems. The document then provides examples of how a consortium developed OER courses and addressed challenges through planning, instructional designers, and creating a central website to host OER content.
Opening the gate -a fast and easy way to build and share coursescccscoetc
Presentation given at the Sloan-C Emerging Technologies for Online Learning conference in Dallas, TX, April 9-11, 2014. Open educational resources are changing the landscape of course content into a more transparent and open process that fosters fellowship across departments and educational institutions. In the spirit of the process, Colorado Community College System received a TAACCCT grant with the stipulation of publishing the courses to OER. CCCS has been successful in creating/sharing content between the 13 system colleges, 3 independent colleges and the world .
The Colorado Virtual Studio System incorporates gated and monitored access to valued tools (production and post production equipment) in the creation of original student work. In order to access production equipment, students must present written work (outlines, then treatments, then screenplays) that serve as the blueprint to the final project (completed film). The student project leader assembles a team of specialists (actors, producers and/or directors, art directors, directors of photography, production managers, lighting and sound technicians, makeup, wardrobe, and set design trainees, logistical coordinators, production assistants, camera operators, location managers, etc.) required for successful project completion. However, within this system, project completion is not the mere lensing and editing of the proposed project. It is the delivery of the project to the consumer (audience) through a variety of venues. Consequently, the gated access to desired resources is contingent on market focus, just as it is in the real world.
This is a short presentation created on November 19, 2021 for an assignment regarding OER resources. I teaching English to speakers of other languages, so I included my perspective of OER for English language learning instructors.

Re Defining The Learning Architecture In Your School Tony Carrucantcarrucan
This presentation provides information on how schools can implement cloud computing to extend their learning architecture and optimise the use of social networks.
This presentation was delivered as part of the Scotland’s Colleges/College Development Network Dangerous Ideas event. The focus is open education and sharing of open educational content. The presentation was delivered by webinar in June 2012.
The HVA Gaming project was a collaborative effort between RRCC and PPCC designed to incorporate a first-person gaming simulation into the existing HVAC curriculum. In order to deliver the gaming simulation to students, RRCC and Interplay Energy adapted an HVAC simulation program developed by Delmar/Cengage Learning. The interactive gaming interface created a more engaging and exciting learning experience for students while sharpening HVAC troubleshooting skills. Although there is no substitute for hands-on lab time, access to the simulation software gave students the ability to greatly increase their virtual lab time. Student feedback surveys, which were collected both before using the simulation software and after using it, generated very positive remarks. This project also allowed for the creation of a hybrid class, giving students another learning option.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

CHEO--OER -a fast and easy way to build and share courses
1. OPENING THE GATE:
OER IS A FAST & EASY WAY TO CREATE,
COLLABORATE AND SHARE COURSES!
Presenter: Brenda Perea
April 10, 2014
2. WHY DID OUR CONSORTIUM USE
OER?
Conditions of
However….
Know what you’re getting into before you accept
the money
Know what needs to be done before full scale
adoption

5. GENERAL BENEFITS OF USING OER
5
1. Learning effectiveness
Better quality or more recent material
2. Access
Wider variety of learning materials
There are 750 free online courses from leading universities
that are open to the public
Enhances opportunities for learning
Informed decisions as to content and class preparation
3. Scale
Cost effective
Adaptability for individual colleges and instructors
6. GENERAL BENEFITS CONTINUED….

4. Faculty success
► Avoid “reinventing the wheel”
► More Clarity and/or certainty regarding reuse of
materials
► Content is compiled and edited by the instructor
5. Student success
► Better quality and easier access
► Better informed decisions in choosing the right course
and preparing for class
► Digital OER textbooks are condensed
7. WHAT WERE THE “REAL” BENEFITS?
►Building and sharing content among colleges decreased
development time and maximized resources
►Quality improvements through collaboration, visibility,
creativity, and critical thinking
► Content is compiled and edited by the instructor
► Time and effort were saved through the reuse and remixing of
resources
► Content is adaptable for individual colleges and instructors
►Content was “standardized” among the 7 Energy colleges
►New Partnerships Opportunities

10. CHALLENGES TO USING OER!
Technology
Time
Quality Assessment-Reluctance to “share” and the reluctance to “accept
other instructor’s work”
Policies on academic freedom, open access licenses (CC BY)
Evolving Online/Hybrid Pedagogy
Differing LMS’s
Competency-based courses use industry supplied manuals for content
delivery

CHALLENGES TO CONTRIBUTING TO OER
• No Central OER repository
• Technology—OERs are built on the different
• Time—Sharing to an OER Repository requires manual recreating of content since
SCORM or common cartridges uploads are not standard
• Quality Assessment—reluctance to “accept” others’ work as “equivalent” to their
own material or view as “inferior” to publisher created material
• College or Faculty Property—who actually “owns” the content created within a
college system?
• Creating a different CC BY license for each OER published
Super Villain by tikigod published under a CC BY-

13. WHAT DID IT TAKE FOR “BUY IN”
A specific “on message”
Instructional designers
Recognition of impact across college
departments
Bookstores
Publisher relationships
13
14. HOW DID WE START
Developed a Plan “A”
1) Listed all the certificates and courses covered by
the grant
2) Identified courses in currently in hybrid status
a) Identified content in the course as either local
course or publish to OER
3) Published those courses to OER
4) Created a website as the COETC OER Index
a) Published all OER URL’s to the index
14
15. IF PLAN A DIDN’T QUITE FIT…GAVE THEM
PLAN B
Plan B
1. Used an instructional designer to work with
faculty to convert F2F courses to hybrid
2. Created new courses in hybrid format
3. Returned to steps 3 and 4 of Plan A
15
16. DEALING WITH OER
What Works?
Detailed Plan
Central URL repository for easy access
to OER sites
Central website for OER index
Multimedia hosted on an institution
channel or institutional account
Allocating enough time to search &
revise content
