The Meaning of Quality in an OER Ecosystem
COL-UNESCO Nine point Guideline for the production of OER
1.Include labeling to indicate what learning needs the resource addresses;2.Allow the creation of variations and enhancements through open licenses;3.Support flexible styling (e.g., enlarging the font, enhancing the colour contrast and adjusting the layout for students with vision impairments or mobile devices);4.Support keyboard control of functions and navigation (for students who cannot use or do not have access to a mouse or pointing device);5.Provide audio or text descriptions of non-text information presented in videos, graphics or images (for students who have visual constraints or who have limited displays);6.Provide text captions of information presented in audio format (for students who have hearing constraints or lack audio interfaces);7.Cleanly separate text that can be read in the interface from underlying code or scripting (to enable translation);8.Use open formats wherever possible to make it easier for alternative access systems and devices to display and control the resource; and9.Adhere to international standards of interoperability so that OER can be used on a wide variety of devices and applications.

A PERSPECTIVE ON QUALITY
Rethinking Openness

Rethinking Openness[SOURCE: JEREMY KNOX, 2013]
Much of OER literature focuses on the removal of perceived barriers to access and thus neglects to consider adequately how self directed learning might actually take place in the absence of an educational organization.
![Page 18: Developing Quality Guidelines for Open Educational Resources](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062709/55903d331a28abbd6a8b4580/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Rethinking Openness[SOURCE: JEREMY KNOX, 2013]
This endorsement of the institution is problematically combined with a neglect to address the role of pedagogy within a university and an exaggerated and untheorised promotion of learner-centred education
![Page 19: Developing Quality Guidelines for Open Educational Resources](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062709/55903d331a28abbd6a8b4580/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Rethinking Openness[SOURCE: JEREMY KNOX, 2013]
OER literature often promotes a paradoxical claim of institutional circumvention alongside an explicit endorsement of the accreditation systems and prestige of established university structures
![Page 20: Developing Quality Guidelines for Open Educational Resources](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062709/55903d331a28abbd6a8b4580/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Rethinking Openness[SOURCE: JEREMY KNOX, 2013]
The OER movement tends to make presumptions about the ability of human beings to self-direct in the processes of learning, often appearing to assume the innate qualities of autonomy and instrumental rationality
![Page 21: Developing Quality Guidelines for Open Educational Resources](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062709/55903d331a28abbd6a8b4580/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Rethinking Openness[SOURCE: JEREMY KNOX, 2013]
The use of OER can be perceived, not as a more rational improvement to education, or a more humane and naturalized form of learning, but as a further refinement in the exercise of power.
