Open Education Resources and Opportunities for Research By Chao Charity Mbogo Panel Presentation at e-learning innovations conference, Nairobi.

A bit of my background Bsc Mathematics & Computer Science – KeMU. Msc Computer Science - University of Oxford. Head of Department, Computer Information Systems, KeMU. PhD Computer Science - University of Cape Town (Grad 2015). Google Anita Award Winner – Europe, Middle East and Africa (2014).

Current research Scaffolding new learners of Java programming to write programs on a mobile phone

What is OER? OER describes any educational resource that is openly (freely) available for use and permits re-use by educators and learners.

Examples of OER Learning content: MIT Open Courseware Tools: Open Source Software Implementation Resources: Intellectual property licenses promoting free publishing.

Why get involved in OER? ‘What you give, you get back improved.’ Can be used as PR to attract new students. Lowering education cost. Generate revenue through Ads.

Challenges of OER 1. Compromise on quality.

Opportunities for research: Quality Opportunity 1: Develop /Use Plagiarism detection systems at our institutions. Opportunity 2: Study the impact on use of current plagiarism detection systems. Opportunity 3: Devise internal quality checks that can be documented and published.

Opportunities for research: Quality Opportunity 4: User evaluation

Opportunities for research: Quality Opportunity 5: Peer review systems. I would wish to see full paper submissions in future eLearning innovations conferences. Indexed access to Google Scholar etc.

Challenges of OER 2. Sustainability How useful is your resource? Interoperabilty Funding

Opportunities for research: Sustainability User-Driven research. From design to evaluation

Opportunities for research: Sustainability Good research is one that kicks the door open for another researcher to go through. Originality is the only kick hard enough to open the door for further research.

Opportunities for research: Sustainability Writing grant proposals Involve learners to design payment models: For example, the conversion model. Follow the community model (involving targeted stakeholders).

Conclusion OER provides numerous research opportunities. ELearning is the right platform to be involved in OER. Let us not compromise on quality for quantity. Users, Users, Users.
