WHY DID OUR CONSORTIUM USE OER?

Conditions of

GENERAL BENEFITS OF USING OER

10

1. Learning effectiveness

Better quality or more recent material

2. Scale

Cost effective

3. Access

wider variety of learning materials

4. Faculty success

Avoid “reinventing the wheel”

5. Student success

Better quality and easier access

BENEFITS THE CONSORTIUM REALIZED

► Contents are displayed in multimedia formats so user knows how

the student will see the material

► Content is compiled and edited by the instructor

► Adaptability for individual colleges and instructors

► Digital OER textbooks are condensed

► Building and sharing content between colleges decreased

development time and maximized resources

► Content was “standardized” between the 7 Energy colleges

11

BUILD AND SHARE CONTENT BETWEEN

COLLEGES

12

Example: Fundamentals of DC/AC 3 different courses were developed with grant funding

Negative: duplication of effort and a waste of

resources

Positive: One consortium college discovered need for

ELT106 in Nov. 2013 for a Jan. 2014 deployment.

In December 2013, a new instructor could select content from

each of the OER courses to build a course unique to there

student population and launch the course for January 2014

students

CHALLENGES TO USING OER! Technology

Time

Quality Assessment-Reluctance to “share” and the reluctance to “accept other instructors work”

Policies on academic freedom, open access licenses (CC BY)

Evolving Online/Hybrid Pedagogy

Differing LMS’s

Competency-based courses which used industry supplied manuals for content delivery

CHALLENGES TO CONTRIBUTING TO OER• Technology—OERs are built on the different platforms such as HTML vs. XML

• Time—Sharing to an OER Repository requires manual recreating of content

since SCORM or common cartridges uploads are not standard

• Quality Assessment—reluctance to “accept” others work as “equivalent” as

their own material or view as “inferior” to publisher created material

• College or Faculty Property—who actually “owns” the content created within a

college system?

• If a system owns all material created by faculty/employees while being paid

with system funds, can course material be contributed to OER?

• Creating a different CC BY license for each OER published

• No Central OER repository

WAS OER A “HARD SELL”

YES !!!!

16

WHAT DID IT TAKE FOR “BUY IN”

A specific “on message”

Instructional designers

Recognition of impact across college

departments

17

DEALING WITH OER

What Works?Detailed Plan

Central URL repository for easy access to OER sites

Central website for OER index

Multimedia hosted on an institution channel or institutional account

Allocating enough time to search & revise content
