This document provides an overview of Open Educational Resources (OER) from a workshop for BCIT part-time studies. It defines OER as freely accessible teaching, learning and research resources that can be fully used and shared digitally. Examples of OER include open textbooks, videos, course materials and software. Research presented found that student achievement and outcomes were the same or better when using OER compared to commercial textbooks. OER quality was evaluated in studies and found to be about 50% as good, 35% superior, and 15% inferior to traditional resources. The document discusses OER licensing, notably Creative Commons, and provides lists of open education repositories and resources that instructors can use and adapt for their courses.
OER and OEP - what they are and what impact might they have on ALsOEPScotland
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and open educational practices (OEP). It defines OER as educational materials that are freely available such as textbooks, videos, and assignments. OER allow users to retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute content. The document notes that while OER promise free, high-quality education for many, their impact has so far been limited, mainly benefiting those already experienced with higher education. It encourages the use of open repositories and creative commons licensing to expand access to non-traditional learners.
This document summarizes a presentation about using open educational resources (OER) to renew education in the Netherlands. It discusses VO-content, a nonprofit organization set up by Dutch schools to share OER. In its first 4 years, 30% of Dutch secondary schools participated, reducing costs and innovating. Trends include personalization using learning analytics and the growing use of mobile devices. Challenges include collecting user data on open content and implementing open standards across organizations. The presentation aims to enhance cooperation and knowledge sharing to improve quality and accessibility of educational resources.
Types of Open Educational Resources (OER)Ankuran Dutta
The document outlines different types of open educational resources (OER). It discusses OER in terms of the media they use (such as text, images, audio, video), their quality (self-published, peer-reviewed), authorship (individual, collaborative), how they are presented (slides, e-content), licensing (Creative Commons, public domain), and their nature/format (reading materials, course modules). The goal of the document is to provide an overview of the different categories that can be used to classify OER.

Open educational resources (oer) power pointrobinec
Open educational resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that are freely available online for anyone to use, adapt and share. OER include full courses, textbooks, modules, videos and other materials. There are several advantages to using OER, such as reducing costs for students, increasing accessibility of educational resources worldwide, and allowing for customization and incorporation of updated content. However, some disadvantages include the effort required to evaluate and validate large volumes of OER materials, lack of funds to support ongoing updates and maintenance, and potential issues with attribution, copyright and access to technology for disadvantaged students.
Open Educational Resources (OER) - Benefits and Challengesrebeccagottberg
Open educational resources (OER) are educational materials that can be freely used and reused without cost. This document discusses the benefits and challenges of OER. The benefits include affordability, accessibility, additional learning resources, engagement, and up-to-date materials. However, challenges include issues of sustainability, quality, gaining faculty and institutional acceptance, and ensuring equal digital access. Overall, OER has potential to improve education but also faces obstacles that must be addressed for broader implementation.

The Non-Disposable Assignment: Enhancing Personalised Learning - Session 2Michael Paskevicius
Slides from our second meeting of three from a course redesign series on creating non-disposable assignments.
As advertised:
Do you want to offer students an opportunity to bring their passions, personal interests, and individual strengths into their coursework?
How can we design assessment which students feel connected to, value, and are proud to share with their peers?
Are you interested in learning how to create a non-disposable assignment for your students?
This 3-part assignment redesign workshop will take you through the steps to create a non-disposable assignment from beginning to end.
Disposable Assignments: "are assignments that students complain about doing and faculty complain about grading. They’re assignments that add no value to the world – after a student spends three hours creating it, a teacher spends 30 minutes grading it, and then the student throws it away” (Wiley, 2013).
This series is about creating a non-disposable assignment. The three sessions will blend a combination of some pre-reading, discussion, and in session time to flesh out the details of a rich assignment that allows students to co-create knowledge, be creative and engage in a personalised learning experience.
We’ll focus on crafting projects which meet your existing or redesigned course learning outcomes, explore tools for students to demonstrate their learning, and identify strategies for conducting peer-review. In the end you’ll end up with plan for implementing your redesigned assignment in Spring 2018 or Fall 2018.
Throughout the three-part workshop we will also be collectively exposing our own learnings to others in the group through a live reflection and blogging site to support our work. We hope faculty can attend all three parts as they are planned with the intent you are coming for the whole series.

Lane, A.B. (2006) OpenLearn: constructing communities of practice around open educational resources to support lifelong learning, Online Educa 2006, Berlin, 28 Nov - 1 Dec, 2006
1) Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research materials that are freely available online for anyone to use and adapt. OER can help increase access to education and reduce costs.
2) OER should be openly licensed and in open formats to maximize their reuse and adaptation. Using open source software can also help make OER more openly accessible and editable.
3) OER have the potential to transform education by improving access to learning resources, facilitating collaboration between educators, and bridging formal and informal learning. However, guidance and support are still needed for many learners and educators.
The document discusses open educational resources (OER), which are teaching and learning materials that can be freely used and reused. It outlines several benefits of OER, including lowering costs, improving access to education, and facilitating collaboration. However, it also notes that OER require supportive policies, guidance for learners, and a recognition that technology supports but does not replace good teaching.
The document discusses open educational resources (OER) and Creative Commons (CC) licenses. It provides definitions of OER, explains the different types of CC licenses from most open to least open, and how they can be used to license educational content. It also outlines some key benefits of using OER, major sources of OER, and ways that educators can create and share their own OER.
This document discusses copyright, open educational resources (OER), and Creative Commons licensing. It defines copyright as a form of intellectual property law that protects original creative works. OER are defined as educational resources that can be freely used and reused without restrictions. The document outlines several reasons for using OER, including zero cost, less time consumption, and supporting innovative teaching materials. It also discusses different types of Creative Commons licenses that can be applied to OER to indicate how others can use and share the content.
1. Open Educational Resources (OER) are digitized materials that can be freely used and reused for teaching, learning, and research. OER provide opportunities to improve access to education.
2. OER offer benefits like lowering costs, improving collaboration, and widening participation. They allow educators to efficiently create new materials and adapt existing ones. Learners gain access to new resources.
3. As educational resources transition from analog to digital formats and from closed to open systems, OER can bridge formal and informal learning and support lifelong learning through connectivity and personalization.
1. Open Educational Resources (OER) refer to digitized materials that are freely available online for use and reuse for teaching, learning, and research. OER can help make education more accessible and affordable.
2. OER allow educators to reuse, remix, revise, and redistribute educational content. They provide opportunities for collaboration between educators and learners. OER can benefit individuals by providing free learning materials, as well as educators by allowing them to create new materials efficiently.
3. For educational institutions, OER can help widen access to education, lower costs, and facilitate collaboration. They also provide opportunities for governments to showcase their education systems and develop culturally relevant resources. Overall, OER aim to
Open Educational Resources (OERs) are teaching and learning materials that are freely available online under open licenses. OERs provide benefits such as lower costs for students, improved access for underserved populations, and customizability. However, OERs also present challenges including a lack of awareness, variability in availability and quality, and difficulties with ongoing maintenance and potential bias.
This document provides an introduction and overview of Open Educational Resources (OER). It begins by defining OER and listing some examples. It then discusses how the OER movement began in the early 2000s, including the MIT OpenCourseWare project in 2001. Key organizations that have supported OER development are also mentioned, such as UNESCO, Creative Commons, and the Hewlett Foundation. The document outlines the 5R framework that characterizes how OER can be reused, revised, remixed, redistributed, and retained. It concludes by summarizing that OER are educational resources that can be freely used or adapted under an open license.
Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that reside in the public domain or are released with an open license that allows for free use, adaptation, and distribution. OER can include textbooks, videos, tests, software, and other materials used to support education. They are different from open learning in that OER focus primarily on content while open learning includes content and services. Major OER initiatives include SkillsCommons, OpenStax CNX, OER Africa, WikiEducator, and OpenCourseWare which provide open educational content and resources that can be reused and adapted for teaching and learning.
OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES: INVOLVEMENT OF LIBRARIES AND LIS PROFESSIONALS NIT Rourkela
Libraries and librarians can play an important role in supporting open educational resources (OER) initiatives in the following ways:
1. Librarians can help with copyright and licensing issues, evaluating and selecting OER, managing OER repositories, and discovering OER sources.
2. Libraries can provide advice on metadata, information management, digital literacy skills for finding and evaluating OER, and subject guides for finding resources.
3. Some ways librarians can promote OER adoption include collecting, curating, and cataloging OER; educating users; and creating OER in different disciplines.
The document discusses different types of educational resources including student created content, expert blogs, open educational resources, software, and topical training. Student created content allows students to become content producers by creating works like blogs, essays, and e-portfolios. Expert blogs promote open dialogue while open educational resources make course materials freely available. Software engages students with multimedia and interactivity. Topical training provides online and classroom seminars on various topics.
Open Educational Resources (OER) refer to teaching and learning materials that can be freely used and reused without needing permission. OER have been defined by several organizations and include any type of educational content like courseware, textbooks, videos, and tests. Creative Commons licenses are commonly used to share OER and allow various levels of reuse and modification while requiring attribution. Searching and creating OER involves tools like online repositories and authoring software that facilitate finding and producing open educational content.
Open educational resources (OER) are freely available online teaching and learning materials that can be used and reused without cost. OER benefit individuals by improving access to quality resources, education systems by lowering costs through collaborative development and reuse of existing materials, and education providers by reducing costs and allowing more diverse curriculums. OER include full courses, textbooks, modules, lessons, tests, videos, and software that reside in the public domain or are released under open licenses permitting free use.

Editor's Notes
Content Organization Modular, Reusable Basic unit of content is a module -- small “chunks” of knowledge, addressing one topic or a single aspect of a complex topic Sounds, movies, animations, images, equations, and more can be included in modules Multiple modules can be organized into a course or textbook Combine modules from different authors to build a course or collection to fit your needs
Lenses are owned by organizations like TED, professional societies, publishers, even individuals. Each lens focuses on the part of the KC deemed “high quality”. Let’s EVERYONE become an editor and reviewer. WILL SEE INCREASING USE OF SOCIAL SOFTWARE, EVEN IN ACADEMICS, BECAUSE… Traditional peer review process is broken – will be replaced by “reputation” systems like this, social software, post-publication peer review
Imagine you could do this. Then engineering professors from around the world could create a community to write a massive “supertextbook” for their field and is completely up to date and can be shared across their various institutions
