Quality is importantCreating OER is acollective activity
Existing OER communities do not join voluntarily in Wikiwijs
Sharing OER has tobe encouraged and should be made easy
Creating OER is acomplex task
One interface does not fit all
Governmental policies &
regulations are needed
Lessons Learned
• Underestimating the complexity of creating and remixing OER will cause demotivation of teachers to create and remix OER.
• Needed: carefully designed easy to use remix tools are key. • Needed: training for acquiring the competences to create and remix
OER technically and didactically
• Working from complete open courses and open complete books
- Not only buidling content elements to complete courses- But working from complete courses/ open books as well !!
Darco Jansen
Lessons Learned
• Do not underestimate the role of quality of OER • Do not assume that all OER have acceptable quality, so create some
form of quality control
• Quality of the elements VERSUS complete of the whole courses / books
Darco Jansen
Lessons Learned
• All stakeholders should be involved.
• More prescriptive policies and regulations are also needed to avoid the current situation where no sense of urgency is felt by both management and teachers to adopt an OER policy

Aim of open education:
• an approach to education that seeks to remove all unnecessary barriers to learning, while aiming to provide students with a reasonable chance of success in an education and training system centred on their specific needs and located in multiple arenas of learning.
