Turning a Resource into an Open Educational Resource (OER)
Open Education: becoming mainstream? : JISC
Writing in Simulacra and Simulation in 1981, Jean Baudrillard could scarcely have predicted the way in which the growth of a global network of computer systems would accelerate and manage the growth of information and meaning. The “information revolution” has led to the co-creation of a massive library of human knowledge made accessible to everyone, and the tools needed to share, discuss, analyse and add to this corpus in order to create meaning from information. Formal education has slowly begun to embrace this newly created reality, opening up their own stores of information and drawing on the vast stores of resources available to them. But new models are constantly being devised and refined, with a much greater range of actors – bringing in charities and the private sector alongside, or instead of, traditional providers.10 Open Education Resources You May Not Know About (But Should) | MindShift
Horla Varlan This week, the OCW Consortium is holding its annual meeting, celebrating 10 years of OpenCourseWare . The movement to make university-level content freely and openly available online began a decade ago, when the faculty at MIT agreed to put the materials from all 2,000 of the university’s courses on the Web. With that gesture, MIT OpenCourseWare helped launch an important educational movement, one that MIT President Susan Hockfield described in her opening remarks at yesterday’s meeting as both the child of technology and of a far more ancient academic tradition: “the tradition of the global intellectual commons.” We have looked here before at how OCW has shaped education in the last ten years, but in many ways much of the content that has been posted online remains very much “Web 1.0.”
OER Visualisation Project: What I know about #UKOER records on Jorum and OER Phase 1 & 2 [day 18] – MASHe
*viewed doesn’t necessarily viewed by a human. There are multitude of bots and automated code that might visit the jorum site which could increase a records view count. For example the process of me getting this data scraping each record page generated almost 10,000 ‘views’. Most of the numbers above come from two spreadsheets: CETIS PROD Spreadsheet ; and jorumUKOERReconciled – Issue 2 . I’ve mentioned both of these spreasheets before ( day 8 | day 16 ), but you might like to File > Make a copy of these to play with the data yourself and see some of the formulas used. An additional note on the resource view counts.
Open educational resources (OER) are digital materials that can be re-used for teaching, learning, research and more, made available free through open licenses , which allow uses of the materials that would not be easily permitted under copyright alone. [ 1 ] As a mode for content creation and sharing, OER alone cannot award degrees nor provide academic or administrative support to students. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] However, OER materials are beginning to get integrated into open and distance education . [ 4 ] Some OER producers have involved themselves in social media to increase their content visibility and reputation. [ 5 ] OER include different kinds of digital assets. Learning content includes courses, course materials, content modules, learning objects , collections, and journals.
