abstract |
The purpose of this document is to capture the ideas and recommendations, within and
beyond the ICOPER community, concerning the reuse of learning content, including appropriate
methodologies as well as established strategies for remixing and repurposing reusable
resources. The overall remit of this work focuses on describing the key issues that
are related to extending effective reuse embodied in such materials. The objective
of this investigation, is to support the reuse of learning content whilst considering
how it could be originally created and then adapted with that ‘reuse’ in mind. In
these circumstances a survey on effective reuse best practices can often provide an
insight into the main challenges and benefits involved in the process of creating,
remixing and repurposing what we are now designating as Reusable Learning Content
(RLC).
Several key issues are analysed in this report: Recommendations for extending effective
reuse, building upon those described in the previous related deliverables 4.1 Content
Development Methodologies and 4.2 Quality Control and Web 2.0 technologies. The findings
of this current survey, however, provide further recommendations and strategies for
using and developing this reusable learning content. In the spirit of ‘reuse’, this
work also aims to serve as a foundation for the many different stakeholders and users
within, and beyond, the ICOPER community who are interested in reusing learning resources.
This report analyses a variety of information. Evidence has been gathered from a qualitative
survey that has focused on the technical and pedagogical recommendations suggested
by a Special Interest Group (SIG) on the most innovative practices with respect to
new media content authors (for content authoring or modification) and course designers
(for unit creation). This extended community includes a wider collection of OER specialists.
This collected evidence, in the form of video and audio interviews, has also been
represented as multimedia assets potentially helpful for learning and useful as learning
content in the New Media Space (See section 4 for further details).
Section 2 of this report introduces the concept of reusable learning content and reusability.
Section 3 discusses an application created by the ICOPER community to enhance the
opportunities for developing reusable content. Section 4 of this report provides an
overview of the methodology used for the qualitative survey. Section 5 presents a
summary of thematic findings. Section 6 highlights a list of recommendations for effective
reuse of educational content, which were derived from thematic analysis described
in Appendix A. Finally, section 7 summarises the key outcomes of this work. |
