The essence of OER• 1) Open access• 2) Freely available• 3) Shareable• 4) Relatively discrete ‘chunks’• 5)Saves needing to ‘re-invent the wheel’• 6) Needs to be contextualised• 7) You can add to the OER pool.

1. Identify the main generic headings for course content (key topics for discussion and
learning)
2. Search for relevant
resources that can be re-
used for these headings
3. Write ‘wrap-around’ materials that
contextualise and support the learning resources
4. Add your new materials
to the common pool (if required)
5. Select the format for
sharing (wiki etc)

Advantages
• Rich and ready-made resources
• Share the best of what is available
• Free at point of use• Encourages best
practice• Builds a library of
diversity
![Page 16: Opening up Educational Resources](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032514/55d55f92bb61eb43038b45da/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Disadvantages
• Variably quality (but can be brand-led)
• Can be hard to locate (need to learn new skills)
• Can be size problems (what is appropriate?)
• Need to be contextualised (content only is not enough)

How OER are usedOpen
• Ad hoc (on the fly)• Bottom-up• Low cost (or free)• Not always peer reviewed• Free to all users• Weak marketing brand• Inexpensive to maintain• Reliant upon individuals• May need contextualisation• Wide variation in level
Membership• More structured• Tend to be top-down• Can be expensive• Usually peer reviewed• Free to membership• Strong marketing brand• Expensive to maintain• Reliant upon organisations• Probably contextualised• Greater consistency in level

Some things to watch
The Attention Economy Self-organisation of learners Integration of platforms BIG OER meets small OER Course components will be owned and shared Dominance of Third Places – ubiquitous
learning Institutions will provide student support
