Open educational resources include full courses, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.”

OER 4R Framework
1. Reuse – the right to reuse content in its unaltered / verbatim form
2. Revise – the right to adapt, adjust, modify, or alter the content itself
3. Remix – the right to combine the original or revised content with other content to create something new
4. Redistribute – the right to share copies of the original content, your revisions, or your remixes with others
The “Sliding Scale of Openess”
• At it’s most basic level (R1), an OER can be free to use and reuse without modification
• Is there an open license that allows R2, R3, or R4?
• Always review a the resource “Terms of Use” to help with determining attribution
Examples of “Openess Scale”
Reuse (R1) – the right to reuse content in its unaltered / verba?m form hSp://www.usalearns.org Reuse (R1), Revise (R2), Remix (R3) and Redistribute (R4) hSp://americanenglish.state.gov
Creative Commons 101
• Crea?ve Commons • A nonprofit organiza?on • Provides a licensing schema to give public permission to share crea?ve work
• Six different license types state specifically how the material may be used

Finding the resources
iTunesU Students are finding that they can teach themselves things that they didn’t understand in class http://www.apple.com/education/ipad/itunes-u/
Schools can get around “I don’t have Internet at home” by pushing subscribed content through iTunes U
Lynn University has dropped it’s LMS and now uses iTunes U http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2014/01/08/lynn-university-drop-blackboard-learn-favor-itunes-u
Gooru Learning www.goorulearning.org
Khan Academy www.khanacademy.org
OER Commons www.oercommons.org
Edmodo www.edmodo.com
Sugata Mitra TED Prize Winner School in the Cloud and SOLE (Self Organized Learning Environments) Google it! http://www.ted.com/pages/prizewinner_sugata_mitra
Educreations Apps allow teachers and students to create their own material.

The “Highlander” Curriculum Theory
• There can only be one curriculum resource • There is a heated competition to select the
one resource • No one is completely happy with the
selected resource….. • --------------------------------------------------------- • Current California adoption process a
mess….. • Why replicate a broken system?
Market Driven, Crowd Source Reviewed Resources • iTunes “like” portal where all OER and paid
resources are available by “Song” and not “Album”
• RUSD students have 3-7 digital texts per course as well as multiple application & cloud based resources
• Amazon “like” rating systems that allow end users to rate effectiveness of resource. (systems like GooruLearning.org)
Teacher & Student Organized Standard Based Teaching & Learning Using OER
• Are easy to access • Can be easily edited or rearranged • Generally don’t have an approval hierarchy (State, County or Local)
• Allows focus on standard or concept using mul?ple resources as opposed to current textbook driven instruc?on
• Allows Teacher & Student to choose best resources
