Open Education Resource:

Operating System as a Resource Manager

About the OER The open education resource is a collection of MOODLE Lesson activities that are useful as out-

of-class activity while flipping the classroom. There are six lessons as part of this OER, and each

deals with an aspect related to Operating System as a resource manager. Six lessons are divided

into two sub-topics, Process Management and Memory Management.

OER is downloadable from: https://fdp1101os.wordpress.com/

Target Audience: Second Year Engineering Students (Computer and IT domain)

Tags: Flipped Classroom, MOODLE, Memory Management, Process Scheduling,

Paging, Segmentation

OER developed in MoodleCloud

Section 2: Design Decisions

Nature of Decisions taken by the team for planning OER

The design decisions involved in the creation of this OER were of broadly three types:

1. Content Decisions about the scope of the topics

2. Pedagogic Decisions about what strategy to use for OER

3. Technology Decisions about open source tools to use

(1) Decisions related to Content

Here the decisions were taken related to topics, relationship between topics, flow

of lessons, etc.

1. All the three team members are from Computer engineering background. Therefore, we

had few common courses to be taken up for creation of OER. We decided to create OER

for Operating System (OS) course. We discussed different topics of OS course and

decided to address a topic namely, Resource Management (RM) of OS.

2. Further discussion evolved in offering two subtopics under RM, namely, Process

Management (PM) and Memory Management (MM).

3. It was discussed and decided to take up 1) Process life-cycle and 2) Process scheduling as

subtopics under PM.

4. Similarly, under MM, 1) Memory management requirements, 2) Segmentation and 3)

Paging are finalized to be offered as subtopics.

(2) Decisions related to Pedagogic

It was decided to create an OER with online resources in form of screencasts,

presentations, active learning strategies, In-class and Out-of-class activities.

Typically in a flipped classroom strategy, there are two segments – Out-of-class segment

and In-Class segment. The out-of-class segment requires student to refer to some given

material (Video, presentations etc.) which are available at

https://fdp1101os.wordpress.com/ and form an understanding about the concepts that are

relevant. In terms of concept marking the pedagogic decisions that were taken for the

Out-of-class segment related to:

Cognitive Levels of Questions to be asked along with the resources – Mostly Recall to

Apply level question for Out-of-class segment and In-class segment.


Assessment Strategies – Quizzes containing multiple choice questions for Out-of-

class assessment are available at https://fdp1101os.moodlecloud.com and for In-class

assessment, Think-Pair-Share strategy will be used.

(3) Decisions related to Technology Decisions

While developing the Out-of-Class and In-class activities, the major technology decisions

taken were:

Tool to be used for creating screencast – Screencast-O-Matic, as it had a time limit of 15

minutes for free version and provided option for creating videos as .avi, .flv or .mp4 files

those can be directly played from browser. Also, the recorded video using Screencast-O-

Matic can be directly uploaded to Youtube.

MOODLE Lesson Activity to be used for setting up Out-of-Class segment as it allowed

guided self-learning. Hence, Moodle cloud, a Moodle learning platform to be used for:

1. Creating course, provide learning resources such as screencasts and PowerPoint

presentations,

2. To allow learners to complete quizzes for assessing their learning and

3. To communicate with learners

Thus, it was decided to upload PowerPoint presentations, screencasts and quizzes on the

Moodle online learning platform.

Website to be created using WordPress.com for giving access to OER contents. The

student or guest access to be given for our website so that, peer reviewer can access our

OER contents which are provided on the moodle online learning platform.

How to use this OER

[A detailed description of how to use this OER in regular teaching-learning]

Sr. No. Teaching Learning 1 Instructor/Teacher can use this OER for

flipped classroom activity

Learners/Students can use this OER for

flipped classroom activity

2 On each topic there are more than one

resources available on Moodle site

Learners/Students can access this moodle

site and use different resources such as

screencasts, PowerPoint presentations,

quizzes

3 Instructor/Teacher can communicate

with learners/students through this site

Learners/Students can use blog or write to

teacher for getting their queries answered

4 Instructors/Teachers from other

institutes can use this OER as it is

licensed under CC-BY-SA. They can

use as it is or modify and share with

their learners

Learners/Students can watch the screencasts

or PowerPoint presentations more than once

to get their concepts clear

For Students:

1. The free access has been given to self-learner for exploring the OER activities.

2. View all resources/lessons (OER) from enrolled course: „Operating System as a resource

Manager‟.

3. Attempt quizzes within scheduled deadlines before attending next class.

4. Be ready for In-Class activity.

For Instructor: 1. Create resources/lessons on Moodle cloud platform and make them available to

students as per schedule.

2. One can use the resources created in this OER, modify, extend and use them in the

classroom or in out-of-class setting.

3. The instructor can conduct in-class TPS activity. We urge the instructors to

encourage students for active learning.

4. Create quizzes/ask questions during lesson learning as part of Out-of-Class activity.

Ask students to submit the answers before attending the next class.


Section 4: Evaluating Effectiveness of OER

The OER effectiveness can be assessed at two levels:

1. At the student level 2. At the teacher/instructor level

Effectiveness at the student level

Students are expected to use OER for self-learning, and Out-of-class activities.

Effectiveness at the student level involves metrics related to student access of the

resource and student learning. How often students use resources for example, or their

performance generally indicate the effectiveness for learners.

The Moodle lesson report can be used to evaluate this effectiveness, with the report

showing the total number of students who accessed the reports (along with time) and

their marks (based on their answers to MCQs is an indicator)

Effectiveness at teachers/instructors level

OER consumers are typically teachers who want their students to learn the course content.

How did the teachers find the course, the quizzes, the references, the resources like screen

casts can be directly found out by getting feedback from teachers. Linking a survey on three

main constructs – Ease of Use, Concept Coverage and Concept Complexity, can help in

identifying the effectiveness of this OER at consumer level. This has to be done as an offline

email activity.

Implementing Survey

An alternate feedback/survey system will be carried out. Every user who downloads this

resource will be asked their email address and as a follow up the survey will be sent to their

email address. The survey results / suggestions can then be analyzed for deciding the

effectiveness for teachers and improving on the course in future.

Section 6: Building a Community of

MOODLE and Flipped Classroom Adopters

Possible Sources for Community Building

Some of the viable sources for building a community are:

• Teachers who are using WordPress • Teachers who plan to use Flipped Classroom Strategies

• Students and teachers who participate through a blog

Plans for Community Building

The login details for OER resource is already available in the webpage and its access

requires the users to provide their email id. Thus there will be a list of interested users

whom we can follow up using email.

All the interested users can then be connected using a local WordPress website.

A BLOG can be useful to have a forum for discussion, for instructors to express new

ideas, answer queries and so on.

A CONTACT tab allows users to communicate to us.
