3. What is OER?
OER are teaching, learning, and research
resources that reside in the public domain
or have been released under an
intellectual property license that permits
their free use and re-purposing by others.
Open educational resources include full
courses, course materials, modules,
textbooks, streaming videos, tests,
software, and any other tools, materials, or
techniques used to support access to
knowledge
(Hewlett Foundation, n.d.)

6. Advantages of OER
from the student's
perspective -
Or, what's in it for
Perry?

7. The bottom line;
http://www.oecd.org/edu/research/,https://www.americanprogress.org/wp-
content/uploads/issues/2012/02/pdf/open_education_resources.pdf
It should be provided
without technical
barriers
It should be free without
tuition fees, licenses fees,
pay per view fees etc.
It should make high quality
education available for
everyone anywhere
in the world

8. When it comes to materials, it is all about the
money, environment, quality and risks with
heavy lifting….

9. Advantages of OER
• Open textbooks can be as effective
(as measured by students academic
achievements) or even slightly more
effective than their traditional
counterparts
• Multiple studies indicate that students
generally achieve the same learning
outcomes when OER are utilized
• Students save significant amounts of
money.
Academic achievement
might improve to a
lower cost!

perceptions." Educational Technology Research and Development 64(4): 573-590.
● Studies across a variety of
settings indicate that both students
and faculty are generally positive
regarding OER.

10. Advantages of OER;
The largest study of its kind conducted to
date
Included:
• Nearly 5000 post-secondary
students using OER
• 11,000 control students using
commercial textbooks
• Ten institutions across the
United States
• Students were enrolled in 15
different undergraduate courses
Fischer, L., et al. (2015). "A multi-institutional study of the impact of open
textbook adoption on the learning outcomes of post-secondary students."
Journal of Computing in Higher Education 27(3): 159-172.
Results: Students of faculties using
OER textbooks Performed as well
or better In three key measures of
student success:
• Course completion
• Final grade of C- or higher
• Course grade

25. Ethics
Five perspectives guiding ethics when
teaching with social media:
– Utilitarian (usefulness of new connections vs. danger of
cyberbullying)
– Rights (teacher and student’s right to privacy,
especially visual images)
– Fairness (does it fairly represent difference?)
– Common Good (virtue of online communities vs
offline communities)
– Virtue (honesty and general virtue: questioning
avatars, honesty and authenticity)

Educational Resources (OER)
• -Understand how to use educational
resources responsibly
• -Feel more confident when using
such resources in my teaching
• - Learn how to share my resources in
a responsible way both with my
students and within the community
• - See new opportunities for me as a
teacher but also feel far more able to
help my students achieve a better
understanding of related issues
