The 4 R’s of OER: Reuse, Revise, Remix, Redistribute OER is not simply information to link to but quality educational content that can be safely shared and repurposed The 4 R’s of OER: Reuse, Revise, Remix, Redistribute

Encourage research on OER

USE REUSE PRODUCTION LEARNING SUSTAINABILITY 2007/2009 Are OER being used by teachers? OLNET 2010: What are the main barriers to OER reuse? OpenLearn 2007: How to transform for open content? Do we have users? OportUnidad 2012: How can we help institutions to develop sustainable OER initiatives? How can we support informal learning communities? What are the main drivers for OER reuse? What tools do we need? Can we reach the world? What are the possible business models for instituitons providing OER? How can we understand the user-provider-user cycle? How do OER change tradition teaching and learning practices? Can we bring content from the world? What do they do with the content? What are the possible business models for publishers in this new OER context? How can web 2.0 technology support learning and communities of practice? What evidence do we have for OER reuse? Do we give new life to things the world values? Can anyone learn anything? How to embed OER production and use into an existing academic system?

Foster awareness and use of OER

Support capacity building for the sustainable development of quality learning materials

OLnet participated at the conference E-learning Africa 2010 (Lusaka, Zambia), and also paid a visit to Aisha Project School. The goal was to understand how teachers at Aisha have been using OER with the support of UK funded initiatives. There is a mix of ‘chalk and talk’ and the use of technologies to enhance learning at the school, given that the learners have no access to text books. However, the teachers at Aisha have been moving away from chalk and talk and using more enquiry-based learning to teach with OER – indicating that OER can encourage new teaching practices.

‘The idea of redesigning something offered by the OU is a little daunting, even if they do have publishing/editing control. I will probably limit myself to some key skills modules where I can do less damage.’ Learner A

‘You cannot actually do any damage because your work is copy of the original’ Learner B ‘You may not do any damage but it is still daunting all the same. I think most of us have respect for other people´s text and feel quite shy to meddle with it. Perhaps a younger generation will feel less inhibited?’ Learner C

Encourage the development and adaptation of OER in a variety of languages

Cultural imperialism or Cultural mix? BUT actually if we consider ourselves as part of the picture it is more that we are supplying one element in a cultural mix http://www.lumaxart.com/
