Open Educational Resources (OER)
•To benefit society by increasing access to quality educational resources at little or no cost to anyone seeking to learn.
•There is a variety in open educational resources projects
•OER has come to mean freely accessible at no cost to teachers and learners.
•Variations on how OER can be accessed and reused, depending on the source of the content.

The Value of Sharing
• Provide high-quality and diverse content
• Leverage resources of all participants
• Professional development opportunities
• Showcase faculty and institutional expertise
• Provide multi-modal learning experiences and
options for students
• Save time and money

NROC Network: a learning network for faculty and administrators using online content to teach. Institutional members have access high-quality multimedia courses to reuse and adapt for their own use.
Hippocampus: free multimedia lessons and course materials for students and instructors, searchable by topic, textbook and state standards for member organizations.
MERLOT: (Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching) a searchable directory of open educational learning objects developed and submitted by faculty to share.
Creative Commons: an organization that specializes in open intellectual property licenses which allow creators to share their content under various types of use agreements.
OER Commons: a portal to a world of information and links to sources of open education resources.
Open Courseware Consortium: a global network of universities putting faculty lecture materials online under Creative Commons licenses.

Metadata
Example: NROC’s metadata criteria based on IEEE’s Learning Object Metadata
(LOM) Standards
Chose and use metadata standards so that learning objects can be cataloged and searched in various systems

Metadata Resources
IEEE Learning Object Metadata Standards (LOM)http://ltsc.ieee.org/wg12
“Relevant attributes of learning objects to be described include: type of object; author; owner; terms of distribution; format; and pedagogical attributes, such as teaching or interaction style.” (wikipedia)

Organize semi-annual live online meetings within your field, state, system or institution
• Structure online session for people to discuss
what courses they need, what they offer, and what they may like to co-develop
• Showcase some of the courses that are available for swapping
• Give update and previews of new courses in development

Co-development and co-reviewing
Co-Develop: You can mash up existing materials to create new or more complete course, add investment to improve, or develop from scratch
Vocational/Career TechHigh School versions of AP courses Professional
Development modules for online teachers Credit Recovery “packaged solutions” for math
Co-reviews: Post a list of courses you would like others to review for your institution in exchange for reviewing some of theirs
