An OER is a online storage system that allows educators to share, manage and use education resources. The repository contains a collection of learning items that support instruction. These items include:
open textbooks
lesson plans
quizzes (i.e. iclickers, etc.)
videos, animations, handouts
interactive activities and tools (e.g.apps)
powerpoint presentations
For the purpose of this project, we will be excluding the following from the OER definition:
MOOCs (list of MOOCs, full course MOOCs)
open access journals and books
Paid resources
Government websites
Definition Breakdown
space includes diverse material but doesn’t fall “neatly” within the OER definition
Exclusion Criteria for Guides
paid resources
K-12 (unless significant content for introductory classes)
lack of comprehensive content (e.g. focus on lecture capture only)
government websites (dependent if the focus is too narrow and/or thematic – e.g. history.nasa.com)
Purpose
The purpose of this work will be the development of subject guides with approved open education repositories (OER) to be used by faculty and librarians.
Process
Review the OER Rubric. Discuss why and how it should be used. The OER Rubric is a working document. Suggestions and modifications can occur throughout the hackfest. Erin and Melanie will make note of issues as they arise and add them to a OER rubric review document.
Review the google doc for suggested subject areas. Break groups up according to interest in subject areas. Assign one individual as Group Facilitator. The Group Facilitator will discuss issues that arise with Erin and Melanie; assist with technical issues; motivate group; etc.
Before beginning, brainstorm a process of finding OERs (e.g. literature review, etc.) Write suggestions strategies on a flip chart for referral.
Brainstorm where the content should reside (wiki, google doc). Review the Subject Guide Template.
Begin!
Subject Guide Template
The template will allow the working groups to create standardized information across the guides. The templates should include the following metadata:
Source Types
The kind of content found in the OER. Example: video, audio file, quiz, etc.
Author(s)
Creators of the OER.
Title
Title given to the resource.
URL
Location of the resource. Preferably a stable or permanent URL (PURL).
Subject(s)
This field will outline the subject covered in the resource.
Abstract
A brief description of the OER.
Copyright/Licensing
This field will describe the kind of licensing that has been assigned to the OER (e.g. Creative Commons, YouTube Standard License). Note – If the OER licensing is varied, mention so here.
Level
The rating provided to the OER based on the assessment rubric.
Exclusion List
If an OER has been reviewed and will be excluded from the list, enter it into the following form:
