This document summarizes a presentation about free, pre-designed interactive learning objects from open educational resources (OERs). It defines OERs and interactive OERs, discusses types of student interaction and outcomes from interaction. It provides examples of interactive OERs and guides the audience through the critical phases of locating, selecting, implementing and evaluating OERs. The presentation concludes with an interactive task for partners to explore OER repositories, select an interactive object, discuss implementation and evaluation plans, and share with the group.

4 Critical Phases

12. Locating OERs
•Right place?
•Right search methods?
• Spend time now, save time later.
• Get to know the repositories.

13. Selecting OERs
•Learning objectives?
•Grade level/Learner level?
•Subject matter?
•Author?
•Modify?
•User platform?
•Accessibility?

14. Implementing OERs
•Link?
•Embed?
•Placement?
•Wrap other content?
•Purpose?
•Directions needed?
•Intuitive?

15. Evaluating OERs
•Course assessment?
•Improved learning?
•Faculty/Teacher feedback?
•Student feedback?
•Focus groups?
•Testing before implementation?
