abstract |
Open Educational Resources (OER) are available globally in many OER repositories.
Since The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (http://web.mit.edu/) OpenCourseWare
(OCW) initiative began, seven years have elapsed. Therefore it is time to consider
and evaluate what has worked, why and how we can maximise on the design and redesign
of OER for the benefit of learners and teachers. Open Learning Network (OLnet) is
an outward facing and open research project, which started in March 2009. Based on
lessons from experience and evidence worldwide, the initial aim of the project is
to draw in existing OER and social networked communities to evaluate what types of
OER have worked well in terms of learning and teaching. The project investigates the
best ways to develop new OER and redesign existing OER for reuse. OLnet is funded
by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and starts from a base of having a number
of partners, to build upon over the three-year period of the project. Methods for
developing Open Educational Resources (OER) have evolved from different initiatives
and projects. The first part of this paper is a step towards exploring the challenges
faced and opportunities gained from different approaches. The methods adopted by two
OER projects OpenER and OpenLearn are considered. Although OER may be created with
one audience in mind (Higher Education) they can be adopted and adapted by different
age groups and those with a variety of prior learning experiences. The second part
of the paper considers the potential and actual adoption of OER by the school and
further education sector. Questions addressed regarding the potential of OER are as
follows: - Could OER material fit into the present timetable of study? - Might institutions
provide assessment for OER material? - How would material be assessed? - What policies
and procedures would need to be used or changed to allow the adoption of OER material
for assessment? - Might OER material be better suited to learning in cases of non-accreditation?
Finally the paper discusses two examples of reuse: one of material from DigilessenVO
and the other a contrasting example from OpenLearn. |
