Openness
◦Tech development and access increases: open equals access to resources anytime, anyplace
◦Consider Open Educational Resources – OER - as T&L support, partial or full content replacement, inspiration, content collaboration, or much more…
Teaching and Learning:
“... an OER is simply an educational resource that incorporates a licence that facilitates reuse, and potentially adaptation, without first requesting permission from the copyright holder."
A Basic Guide to Open Educational Resources (OER). (2011) Prepared by Neil Butcher for the Commonwealth of Learning & UNESCO. Edited by Asha Kanwar (COL) and Stamenka Uvalic´-Trumbic´ (UNESCO).

Go out and see what’s there...
Finding OER
P2PU
The Peer 2 Peer University is a grassroots open education project that
organizes learning outside of institutional walls and gives learners
recognition for their achievements. P2PU creates a model for lifelong
learning alongside traditional formal higher education. Leveraging the
internet and educational materials openly available online, P2PU enables
high-quality low-cost education opportunities.
OER Africa: proudly African (look at)
http://www.oerafrica.org/resource/guidelines-teaching-numeracy-foundation-phase
Foundation phase education resources, Grades 1,2 & 3.Share with local schools, teachers in primary school education.
Exploring OER in education:
Education with more access to knowledge
sharing purpose.
Opening Up possibilities
Why?
Let’s consider an initial way to enter the Open Educational Resource domain as
educators firstly, we’ll get to research and curriculum/content in another session
hopefully...
So, perhaps: Share the smaller items you accumulate as part of your teaching practice, the ‘stuff’ that often ends up on shelves or in
never re-opened e-files
For you as an educator:
as long as it has educational value
It doesn’t need to be ‘big’ or life-changing...
Have a presentation, video addition, images, quiz, or related item to add?
Do you have a lecture hand-out, or course reader assignment/ notice page?
Take a picture of your whiteboard after a lecture, Record an important part of your lecture or assignment on your phone/ pc.
How do I start opening up? Here’s one suggestion...
Highlight NMMU, module, topic, etc as keywords/ tags
#Hashtags (#nmmu #nmmuLaw101 #FAC2108)

◦Engage and guide in lesson times, and instead facilitate peer interaction
• Capture peer interaction as part of your assessment practice
• In your assessment practice: Consider
Google Groups, and then: Google Docs captures each student’s contribution in groupwork, saving so many common groupwork collaboration assessment issues
Flipped classroom
◦work assessment WILL include focusses on
collaboration groupwork abilities to solve problems in short-term, fragmented and problem-based engagements
21st Century skills
How does your class assessment strategy incorporate building these work assessment skills?
