OCL Lessons Learned
Phase 1: Using a learning management system was a barrier
– No way to compare work between course teams
– Hard to search for content items– Must import content into another learning
management system
Phase 2: Building content in Google Docs
– Can collaborate during development– Easy to share and search– Separates content from delivery
