Objectives and timing
This workshop module invites you to examine existing open educational resource (OER) projects and begin to determine the time, human resources, and planning issues involved in the implementation of an open educational resource (OER) project.
Assessing and defining the needs of an OER project
What kinds of OER projects exist across the world?
An Open Educational Resource (OER) project can take many forms. In this section of the workshop we’ll look at some examples of OER initiatives that have different purposes.
For example:
- It can be a project designed by a non-profit organization to share free educational resources. The OER Commons is a project of this type. http://www.oercommons.org/
- It can be a project designed to invite educators to work together to produce freely available educational resources. The WikiEducator project is a project of this type. http://www.wikieducator.org/Main_Page
Exploring OER projects and their goals
We will explore a selection of OER projects from various parts of the world to determine:
-
The purpose and objectives of the project
-
The target groups or audiences for the project
-
The kinds of OERs the project provides
-
The technology requirements for using the OERs
-
The value the OER project provides
Activity: Exploring OER projects and their goals
