The document discusses four teaching and learning spaces - WSI Online, OTEN Online, OTEN Learning Support site, and face-to-face/workplace. It notes that resources like PowerPoints, documents, and videos are often bundled into these spaces, making it difficult to reuse individual pieces. The document then presents a second method of first uploading resources to content systems like Equella and websites like YouTube and SlideShare for storage and sharing. Teachers can then search these systems, link to, copy, and adapt individual resources as needed to customize for their students and teaching purposes across the different spaces. The document leaves with six practical tips for designing reusable resources.

3. “Each starts with a clear teaching and learning
purpose…”

4. “To support the teaching and learning
purpose we need to design tasks,
activities and resources.
How?
How do we do it so that it can be more
easily shared across the teaching and
learning spaces?”
5. “Here’s the first method…”
Powerpoints
Documents
Videos
Audios
Web pages
Zips
Uploadable things…
6. “Nice…but everything is bundled into a
space (WSI/OTEN Online, OTEN Learning
support site, F2F)…
a huge package
To reuse, you have to unpack to get the
bits you want. Takes time.”
7. “Here’s the second method…”
Equella
WWW
(YouTube, SlideShare,
Pinterest…)
“We could first upload our bits into Equella and the WWW spaces designed for storing and retrieving things.”
8. “Then, we search, link/copy/adapt the bits we want
that support the teaching/learning purpose…”
10. “I’ll leave you with 6 practical tips…”
1. As you design your resource, consider how it might be
reused for different teaching purposes – eg don’t make
them so big that it is time consuming to adapt smaller.
2. Use WSI/OTEN Online, OLS + F2F spaces for presenting,
sequencing and customising resources
3. Use content systems like Equella and WWW for uploading,
storing and sharing resources
4. Use formats that can be reused across different spaces (eg
ppt, doc, pdf, mp3, mp4, html, zip)
5. Design each resource so that each stands alone (avoid
linking from one to the other)
6. Avoid third party content that have licenses that don’t
allow people to reuse and adapt.
