This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and summarizes some of the key findings from an OECD/CERI study on OER. It finds that while the number of OER initiatives is growing, there is still conceptual ambiguity around what constitutes an OER. Preliminary results suggest that typical OER users are well-educated individuals, and that lack of time and reward systems are barriers to wider involvement. Proponents argue that open sharing of educational resources can increase access to knowledge and support academic values.
The document discusses the University of Waikato's Mixed Media Pathway program, which uses blended learning for their Bachelor of Teaching degree. It describes how the program allows students to complete most of their studies online or at local schools rather than having to physically attend campus each day. The program was developed in response to teacher shortages and to provide more flexible options for students. While technology plays a role, relationships and support from peers, teachers, and staff are also important factors for student success. Blended learning provides benefits for both students and teaching staff by allowing more flexibility, but also poses challenges in workload management and student support.
