Are your resources Open enough?

1. Are your resources readily available online, indexed by search engines?

2. Do you make your resources openly licensed, specifying terms of re-use?

3. If someone wants to reuse your resources, are they in a format that can be revised or remixed? Or at least embedded or directly linked?

TLTP Projects

In 1992-93 76 projects were funded to develop computer based learning resources.

Many were CD Rom based Large Monolithic resources Though aged pedagogic content is still

relevant.

Example of TLTP Resource

Page 5: Dissemination Of Open Educational Resources

How Open are TLTP resources

1. Available online, indexed by search engines?

CD Rom Based, not indexed in search engines.2. Openly licensed, specifying terms of re-use?

Most resources subject to copyright. Many sold licences to use the resources.

3. Format that can be revised or remixed?Not technically or legally editable. Many resources are now not available, as project staff are not in a position to maintain. Can’t easily link to a specific part.

ReSET Project

2004-05 Repurposing of legacy Engineering resources on CD Rom to Content Packages that could be delivered in a VLE. CALGroup, EDEC, HELM and MATTER.

Reversioning from old versions Authorware to Authorware Web Player

Deposited in Jorum Learning Object Repository.

Reminder of EDEC Resource

Example of ReSET Resource

Page 9: Dissemination Of Open Educational Resources

How Open are ReSET Resources?

1. Available online, indexed by search engines? Searchable within Jorum LO Repository and from other cross search tools such as PerX.

2. Openly licensed, specifying terms of re-use? Licenced under Jorum Licence, display, download, excerpt, annotate, aggregate and modify but not republish.

3. Format that can be revised or remixed?Resources are split into smaller sections. Users can change order of resources but can’t technically edit content. Can be uploaded to VLE.

Rejuvenating MATTER

2007 Rejuvenation of Materials Science on CD Rom (TLTP Resource).

Reimplementation as no source code available (used CD as advanced storyboard) in HTML and Flash.

Deposited in Jourm and put on UKCME website

Example of MATTER Resource

Rejuventaed MATTER Resource

Page 13: Dissemination Of Open Educational Resources

How Open are MATTER Resources?

1. Available online, indexed by search engines? Searchable within Jorum, (website is also indexed by Google but difficult to find).

2. Openly licensed, specifying terms of re-use? Resources licenced in Jorum, no mention of licence on UKCME website (download or view).

3. Format that can be revised or remixed?Content Packages can be downloaded. Source code available for users to edit. HTML editable. Flash can be implemented into other resources. User have choice of uploading to VLE or directly linked.

OER Ideal Scenario

1. Available online, indexed by search engines?

Resources are easily discoverable. Indexed in search engines and found in places users expect to find them. YouTube, Flickr, Slideshare, Eng SC website.

2. Openly licensed, specifying terms of re-use? Resources are clearly licenced through Creative Commons.

3. Format that can be revised or remixed?Resources are editable, both technically and legally. Open standards are used.

How do I Licence my OERs?

Creative Commons LicencesAttributionNon CommercialNo Derivative WorksShare Alike

Jorum Open Licence (probably creative commons or similar).

Page 24: Dissemination Of Open Educational Resources

How do I make resources editable?

Granularity, split larger resources into smaller sections

Ensure text is editable i.e. HTML Let users download resources Include source code Ensure individual assets can be

accessed (i.e. Images/Flash Animations for re-use elsewhere)

Use appropriate Standards

Page 25: Dissemination Of Open Educational Resources

Portability of Resources

Content Packing Embedding resources RSS Feeds and Blogs

Workflow

Adapted workflow diagram from LearnEM project

Page 27: Dissemination Of Open Educational Resources

Identification Workflow

Rights Clearance

Locate Replacements

Location

OER Workflow

Selection

Location Collect together Resources to be made open.

Selection Decide which resources are appropriate to be made open and are in timescale

Rights Clearance ensure approval is granted for making resources open, ensure third party materials can be cleared, if not ensure replacements can be found

Rejuvenation Includes removing or replacing unlicenced third party content - Technical rejuvenation(use appropriate standards)

Licencing Decide which licence to apply (Creative Commons Attribution/Non Commercial/Share Alike)

Making your resource available upload and describe resource in web 2.0 services, JorumOpen and perhaps own website(s).

Discussion

Do you think developments in new media and the internet fundamentally challenge notions of accessibility, engagement and the practices of teaching and learning?
