Goal: to design a course integrating OER, making use of the OER life cycle. You will learn how to use OER: 1. as educational resources to prepare your course, providing

the content your students will need to complete the learning activities and reach the course goals;

2. as artefacts produced by your students, as a product of a learning activity, released as OER.

Activity 1

Think, Group, Share:

• OER- Do you know what it is?• Have you used OER?• Have you produced your own OER?• Have you produced an Open Course (released on OCW)?

A. Course DesignLearning objectives

By the end of this course students will be able to…

Learning activities

What actions will students perform to meet the objectives?Discussion, case-study, exercises, group work, quiz, peer-review, etc.

Resources

What can I reuse? What do I need to produce?Textbook, video, animation, article, website, etc.

Assessment

How will students be assessed?

8

A. Course Design

1. Define learning objectives

2. Explore OER

3. Plan open activities

4. Select & adapt OER 5. Publish OCW& students’ artefacts

9

A. Course DesignActivity 2: Think of one learning objective and open activity Step 1: Write down one idea for a topic for which you could use an OER in your course. Step 2: Write a learning objective Step 3: Come up with an ‘open activity’ where you (as a teacher) make use of OER for your own course

Step 4: Share your ideas in plenary

10

B. Overview of OER in Engineering Education

Explore open educational materials to see what's available "out there“Which are the most common and relevant places to find OER in engineering Higher Education institutions globally?

Everything contains carbon

45%of carbon is in plants

Herbivores eat plants

Carnivores eat herbivores

Animals are decomposed

Carbon returns to the soil

Plants grow from the soil

C. The OER Life CycleFirst let’s look at ….The Cycle of Life

Life means using and reusing!

C. The OER Life Cycle: Compose • Align the OER with your learning objectives• Consider the language used• Consider the level of your learners • Chunk, structure and sequence • Include methodology/pedagogy

C. The OER Life Cycle- Produce, Deploy and use, Refine

Produce: paper, online, blended...(has implications for distribution and access).Produce: Quantity/ licenses needed, implications for cost.

Deploy: Who should have access to the OER and when? (students on campus, outside campus)

Refine: After the first run the course needs to be refined/revised based on ‘lessons learnt’ so that it is remains useful.

C. The OER Life Cycle- A good practice

ACE Maths OER project: contribution of the community helped to improve the materials they first released themselves as OER. (from COL OER Change in Higher Education).

They then shared the improved version back as OER. This means one of the largest benefits of the project was Quality. (p. 75 -88)

International norm design time per notionable learning hour is between 20 and 100 hours. However with the ACE Maths OER project only 4 hours were spent on average!

Final Activity: Design the Optimal Open Course Activity

Think of one idea for an activity that you could do with students that would lead into the production of an OER. (e.g which instructional strategy, method, tool could you use?)

Design the activity that will lead the students into the production of an OER, that will meet your learning objectives (and assessment requirements). The activity should be an optimal example that we can share on the OCW website.

23

Finally, The Big Question is….

Will we be able to find an OER produced by you/ your team next year?
