Ria Jacobi und Nicolai van der Woert, Special Interest Group Open Educational Resources, März 2012 (pdf) - 1 views

  •  
    Jochen Robes: "Ein lesenswerter Report, der aus der Fülle von Berichten über Open Educational Resources (OER) heraussticht. Herausgeber ist eine niederländische Special Interest Group, die sich mit Blick auf den Hochschulbereich dem Thema OER widmet. Der Report versammelt 12 Artikel und kurze Spotlights, die aus verschiedenen Perspektiven (educational, content-related, technological, organisational) den aktuellen Stand der OER-Bewegung zusammenfassen. Dabei sparen die Autoren nicht mit kritischen Anmerkungen, was den Stand der konkreten Anwendung von OER-Materialien betrifft - sowohl in den Niederlanden, aber auch darüber hinaus. Wie in vielen Berichten der jüngeren Vergangenheit wird auch hier betont, dass "there is currently a transition from an emphasis on Open Educational Resources (OER) to one on Open Educational Practices (OEP). Whereas OER focus on how resources can be made available and stored for the long term, OEP have to do with how OER can be utilised in an education system in such a way as to bring about an improved learning experience." (S. 18) Ein weiterer, interessanter Artikel beleuchtet OER aus der Perspektive "content curation" und verbindet OER und Scoop.it! ("Content curation: a new way of monitoring "The Truth"?") Und an vielen Stellen wird eine Verbindung zwischen OER/ OEP und Massive Open Online Courses hergestellt!"

OER in Australia - WikiResearcher - 0 views

  •  
    (last updated 2010) Although the Open Educational Resources (OERs) movement has been developed almost a decade ago, Australian higher education sector seems to be still resisting this movement. This project intends to develop a "Feasibility Protocol" to enable and facilitate the adoption, use and management of OERs for learning and teaching within higher education (HE) institutions in Australia. This project will also explore how OERs will enhance teaching and learning, enable and widen participation for key social inclusion targets in higher education, promote lifelong learning and bridge the gap between non-formal, informal and formal learning in Australia. This is very important for the development of Australia education national and internationally because it will support educational institutions that are currently limited by the lack of guidance regarding OERs, speed up the process of appropriate adoption of OERs, and provide additional venues for universities to pursue innovative strategies to better support current students, attract new ones and be internationally recognised and competitive.

  • there has never been a more important time to support teachers
  • this year marks the tenth anniversary of a project I fund personally, separately from the foundation
  • the OER Project
  • free online courses and professional development for educators
  • Although OER courses won’t solve every problem that the pandemic has caused for schools, they’re an important part of making sure teachers get the support they deserve—and students get the high-quality curriculum they need—in such difficult times.
  • there’s nothing new about the concept of OER
  • Every teacher who has ever downloaded a worksheet from Pinterest has used an open educational resource
  • complete courses, including the equivalent of online textbooks for students, coupled with instructional support and professional development for teachers
  • first two courses, Big History and World History, have reached more than 1 million students and 20,000 teachers around the world
  • Given the success we’ve seen, I’m quite optimistic about the broad impact that OER materials can have in education
  • We would love for many others to get involved and keep raising the quality of the digital tools that teachers can use. A great goal for the entire field would be to create courses and professional development for every subject and every grade. The potential here is enormous.
  • For one thing, regardless of what course or grade you’re talking about, the content needs to be developed by experts in the field and in classroom education
  • The OER Project was able to offer on-demand professional development, virtual training sessions, and an online community where teachers can share ideas and resources
  • It can be updated more frequently than print publications can
  • Courses should be created by educators and subject-matter experts, supplemented with professional development, and regularly improved with feedback from the teachers who use them
  •  
    Very good point, we should move away from the standard of printed educational books, after all in the modern world data is constantly updated so books should be revised with time.
