Open educational resources
This document discusses open educational resources (OER). It defines OERs as teaching, learning, and research materials that can be freely used and modified by others. It provides examples of OER repositories and news about legislation in California supporting open textbooks and OERs. The document also gives tips on locating open textbooks and content/courses through search engines, repositories, and platforms like MOOCs, Merlot, MIT OpenCourseWare, and Khan Academy. It recommends using Creative Commons licenses to share content openly.
OER Aguinaga
Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research materials that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license permitting free access, use, adaptation, and redistribution with limited or no restrictions. OER offer benefits like more timely information not dependent on textbook revisions, opportunities for customization and accessibility in digital formats. However, challenges include ensuring quality, sustainability, knowledge of technology use, and potential pushback in a capitalist society focused on traditional resources. The document advocates being agents of change by adopting OER.
OERS's
The phrase "Open Educational Resources" or OER was first adopted by UNESCO in 2002 to describe educational materials that are freely available online for anyone to use. OER includes learning content, courses, tools for creating and delivering content, and intellectual property licenses to promote open publishing. There are currently over 2,500 open access courses available from over 200 universities worldwide addressing sustainability of OER initiatives.
OER, OPEN ACCESS-DIGITAL LITERACY IN ART EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY BASED
1) The document discusses open educational resources (OER) and their use in technology-based art education classes. OER includes learning content, software tools, and implementation resources that can be accessed freely.
2) Popular OER include MOOCs, open textbooks, and video lectures. Effective use of OER requires skills in choosing and utilizing these resources.
3) The study examines the use of OER materials like tasks uploaded to YouTube, SlideShare, blogs, and eBooks in ICT-based art education. OER allows greater access to course materials if internet access is stable and fast.

Benefits and challenges to Open Educational Resources (OER)
This document summarizes open educational resources (OER). It defines OER as teaching and learning materials that are freely available online for anyone to use, such as individual resources or full courses. The document lists some benefits of OER for different groups, including easy access for students, wider reach for teacher expertise, and increased student capacity and partnerships for educational institutions. Some challenges of using OER are also presented, such as OER not being easily searchable, low public understanding of copyright laws, difficulties dedicating ongoing resources for content creation, and issues with sharing intellectual property.
OER benefits and challenges: One person's opinion
This document discusses the key benefits and challenges of using open educational resources (OER). It defines OER as teaching, learning, and research resources that are freely available in the public domain or under an open license. The main benefits are that OER save students money, provide high-quality materials from top institutions, and allow for more timely and customized learning. However, challenges include educating teachers about OER, requiring changes to teaching methods, ensuring the sustainability of OER archives, and maintaining consistent quality.
Why OER for iPad education
1. The document discusses why open educational resources (OER) are better suited than digital rights management (DRM) or digital licenses for iPad education.
2. DRM and digital licenses overly restrict what users can do with content by prohibiting activities like copying, highlighting, and sharing. They also expire and require subscriptions.
3. In contrast, OER allows users full rights over materials and can be freely copied, modified, and shared without restrictions or subscriptions. This open approach better supports the goals of education over commercial control of content.

What We Talk About When We Talk About OER
This document discusses open educational resources (OER). It defines OER as teaching, learning, and research materials that are free of cost, barriers to access, and carry open licenses allowing free use, adaptation, and sharing. OER can be retained, reused, revised, remixed, and redistributed under a Creative Commons license. Barriers to OER adoption include not enough subject resources, difficulty finding materials, and lack of comprehensive catalogs. OER can help lower student costs of textbooks and materials, improve retention and completion rates, and allow for ownership of course content and new collaborative opportunities. Librarians can play a key role in increasing OER awareness, education, adoption, and support services.
Textbook Affordability and OER: A National Strategy
Open educational resources (OERs) refer to educational materials like textbooks, curricula, and multimedia that are available freely for anyone to copy, use, adapt, and re-share. OERs range from full courses to individual learning objects like videos, simulations, lectures, and assignments. They can be downloaded and edited to better serve all students by improving access and lowering costs compared to traditional textbooks. The document discusses the need for a national strategy to promote greater adoption of OERs in higher education in order to address issues of textbook affordability and accessibility.
Open Educational Resources and Repositories: Discussion Breakout Session
These slides accompanied a breakout discussion session on open educational resources and repositories at the 2009 Intrallect Conference, 25-26 March 2009.
Open Educational Resources
Open Educational Resources (OERs) are freely available educational materials that can be used and modified openly. OERs provide widespread access to courses from top universities and help make education more affordable by replacing expensive textbooks. However, OERs can be time-consuming to develop and implement due to a lack of support, and their content may disappear or become outdated. Overall, OERs present exciting new opportunities for supplemental and engaging educational resources, though they have not fully replaced textbooks for all subjects and classes.
OER's: Models of sustainability
Many open educational resource (OER) organizations receive funding from major foundations like the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation to develop and provide open access to educational content. MIT OpenCourseWare was initially funded by grants from the Hewlett and Mellon Foundations. Stanford's program received funding from a venture capital firm. The Open University of the UK launched its site with a grant from Hewlett. Yale's site also receives support from Hewlett to increase international access to educational opportunities.

Simon Ball - Day 2, Workshop 2
Public libraries play a key role in promoting accessible technology. They are often the only place people can learn about opportunities offered by technology. While there is less difference in library usage between rich and poor areas than other cultural sectors, libraries help bridge this gap. Libraries provide free internet access, assistive technologies, alternative formats, and ebooks to help users of all abilities be productive. The focus should be on productivity rather than barriers to encourage inclusive use of technology.
Wesites and what are useful websites for students
A website is a collection of related web resources, such as web pages and multimedia content, that are identified by a common domain name and published on at least one web server. Websites can serve various functions like providing information for individuals, companies, governments, or organizations. Some important educational websites that provide free learning resources for students include SSRN, ACER, ICSSR, ERIC, and Edutopia. These sites offer research papers, online assessments, scholarships, teaching ideas, and other tools and content to support learning.
Week 3 presentation draft
OER Commons is an online library that allows educators to search for and share open educational resources (OER). It was created by the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education to facilitate collaboration around OER materials. The library has offered high quality learning materials from around the world since 2007. Educators can use Open Author to combine different media types and share resources with other educators. Examples of shared content include full courses, course modules, syllabi, lectures, assignments, quizzes, and activities.

The document discusses the history and development of open educational resources (OER). It notes that while the term OER was coined in 2002, initiatives sharing openly licensed educational content began earlier, including MIT's OpenCourseWare project launched in 2001. Key developments included the introduction of the term "learning object" in 1994, the coining of "open content" in 1998, and the founding of Creative Commons in 2001 to provide improved open licenses.
eLearning and Open Educational Resources (OER)
This document discusses e-learning and open educational resources (OER). It begins by providing context on the origins of OER through the MIT OpenCourseWare project in 2001. It then discusses how OER are part of the open access movement and have been adopted by many institutions. The document examines definitions of OER and questions concepts like what makes resources open and educational. It also outlines some of the major OER repositories and barriers to producing and using OER. Finally, it provides examples of how OER are used in online courses and MOOCs.
Open educational resources & open access
OER and open access aim to increase access to educational materials through openly licensed content that allows users to retain, reuse, revise, remix and redistribute. OER is defined as educational resources that are freely available online for anyone to use, and open access refers to copyrightable works licensed to allow free use. Studies show that many students do not purchase required textbooks due to high costs, and financial concerns negatively impact academic performance. Implementing OER in higher education can help give students access to materials from day one of class at low or no cost, and allow instructors to customize resources for their needs. The University of Hawaii promotes OER through its repository and recommends applying open licensing to works and adding materials.

The document discusses open educational resources (OER) and the open courseware (OCW) movement. It notes that OER include openly licensed educational materials found in institutional repositories, community initiatives, and individual websites. It then describes that OCW are high-quality educational course materials that are openly shared online, including course planning documents, content, activities, and evaluations. Finally, it provides background on how the OCW movement began with MIT's decision to openly publish educational content online and how it has grown globally with the establishment of the OCW Consortium to support over 100 OCW sites worldwide.Oer slides - Goodman OER 101 SBCTC
This document discusses open educational resources (OER), which are freely accessible teaching and learning materials that can be reused and adapted. It outlines several pros and cons of using OER. The pros include savings for students who do not have to pay for textbooks, more choice as OER are not limited by traditional publishers, and less copyright restrictions. The cons discuss sustainability concerns if funding for OER decreases, the non-revocable nature of Creative Commons licenses, and potential accessibility issues for students with disabilities.
Open Educational Resources and the School Library
Open Educational Resources and the School Library. Presented at EduTech, Future Libraries Congress, Sydney, Australia, 7 June 2018. Teacher Librarians can play a vital role in finding, selecting, curating and promoting Open Educational Resources (OER) to their school communities. Gain an understanding of OER and the issues surrounding OER for K-12 teacher librarians and teachers. Discover a variety of OER and Open Access (OA) repositories and sources suited to K-12 education. Examine strategies and tools employed by teacher librarians to manage and encourage OER use.
OER as Educational Philosophy
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and open educational practices (OEP) from an educational philosophy perspective. It defines OER and notes that while OER themselves are not aligned with a specific philosophy, the OER movement implies certain values like freedom, inclusivity, and autonomy. Adopting OEP could have significant institutional implications by changing processes like publishing, curriculum design, and staff expectations. Viewing OER through the lens of "Bildung," the German concept of holistic self-cultivation, may help develop a distinctive educational philosophy for the OER movement.
Global OER
The document discusses the global open educational resources (OER) movement. It notes that OER involves many organizations around the world and is funded through various sources including foundations, governments, and institutions. OER can be found on funded and non-funded websites, repositories, and initiatives. The document also briefly discusses open courseware and the open courseware consortium, which aims to advance learning through sharing open educational course materials worldwide.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
