The “5th R”, Redistribute

Question

“I had an interesting conversation with a faculty member the other day, who has

fully embraced OER (well, almost). The individual has adopted and adapted

content to create a complete a course using all OER. I congratulated the individual

and asked if/where the course material would be available for others.

The response was a jaw drop and pause..."Blackboard?...oh wait...I hadn't

thought about that...I don't know if I'm ready for the world to see it."

“

The “5th R”, Redistribute

Answer

“We encourage faculty to pilot it for a semester, make necessary changes based on their

experiences and student feedback and then share it. They also may want to share it with

their colleagues prior to sharing it with the world”

“A staged approach is usually helpful, as is waiting to share (but get the license agreed

upon early).It's also good to work with the faculty to know what level they need their content

to be at before they are comfortable sharing out. Having a set of criteria (eg been reviewed

by two colleagues,been piloted, etc) can set a launch point you can aim for.”

“I had not heard about the staged approach but am appreciative it was provided. I am the

OER coordinator but also have been putting together OER courses (or at least no cost

courses, some do integrate library resources) as I personally teach them for the CHDEV

department. I know for me as a faculty member the redistribute ‘R’ is the “scariest” because

of the fear I “did something wrong” or judgment on the quality. The staged approach feels

like baby steps toward sharing with the big scary world of other educators!”
