OER (Open Educational resources) Reuse

JISC OER Impact project - See My Notes The first UK study of OER reuse can be viewed in the findings of the JISC OER Impact project which analysed the link between the value of use and its impact in teaching and learning.

Iceberg metaphor (see next slide, left)

TOP OF THE ICEBERG- ALTO: Whole Modules small pieces of OER made into a whole. Visible reuse (Institutional representational - LOW RISK)

BELOW THE WATER LINE: Private spaces (VLEs) images in power point, licences not important - Random finds (found footage)

Rapidly evolving OER movement.

Little evidence of how OER content is being used. Example: Over 30,000 views - proves people are looking at this content but how are they using it ?

There is currently a shift away from the production of OER towards Open Educational Practice (OEP) to discover how OER content is being used.
