Beyond Open Access: OER - Open Access Week 2009Garin Fons
You have questions about how to open your content. Open.Michigan has solutions to help you share your materials openly and connect yourself to a global learning community.
A bit of background on COERLL - the Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning - at the University of Texas at Austin. Presentation also explains Open Educational Resources in the context of Creative Commons. Looks at the value proposition of sharing and participatory culture. Also, provides insight into repositories, websites, and other tools available for foreign language teachers, educators, and self learners to find, organize, and create high quality and relevant resources for learning a language.
Bridging Informal MOOCs & Formal English for Academic Purposes Programmes wit...Alannah Fitzgerald
Presented at the Teaching and Language Corpora (TaLC) Conference in Lancaster on July 23, 2014. Based on collaborative work with the FLAX Language Project (Shaoqun Wu and Ian Witten) and the Language Centre at Queen Mary University of London (Martin Barge, William Tweddle, Saima Sherazi).
This task was designed to help guide discussions during the second meeting of partners on the C-SAP (Higher Education Academy Subject Centre for Sociology, Anthropology and Politics) Open Educational Resources [OER] Phase II project: Cascading Social Science Open Educational Resources. Through the use of reflexive tasks, the project team aims to develop a collaborative framework for cascading OERs within social sciences.
What can Open Access offer me as a teacher?: A guide to Open Access and to ed...Stian Håklev
Presentation given with Clare Brett as part of Master of Teachers Tech Day at OISE, Oct 20 2010.
Abstract: Open Access (OA) and Open Educational Resources (OER's) are terms being increasingly used in educational circles. There are a lot of free, well-designed and interesting curriculum resources out there for the discerning teacher to find and use in their classroom. This workshop will provide a tour of some of the key locations for finding such resources for k-12 teachers, as well as introducing you to the ideas behind Open Access in general, and a discussion of interesting new directions for lifelong professional development, such as the Peer-to-Peer university. The workshop will consist of introducing you to the terms and resources of Open Access as well as small group discussions on strategies and issues about using these resources in your classroom. This will be an interactive session, where your questions are welcome and will guide the kinds of materials we discuss.
This work presents a data architecture based on semantic web technologies that support to the inclusion of open materials in massive online courses. The framework provides transparent access to RDF data sources for Open Educational Resources stored in OpenCourseWare repositories.
Speaker(s): Nelson Piedra and Edmundo Tovar
This presentation will focus on your next steps of evaluating a range of OER resources so that you can enhance the use of OER for your purposes.
Learn how you can efficiently evaluate these resources for:
quality
content
appropriateness
reputation
pedagogical methods
customization & refinement

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

potential of OER. We need to help more
people understand that these materials are not
just free, they can also create communities of
teachers and learners who collaborate on their
continuous improvement, and that’s the real
magic – in the actual reuse and remix.”
