Pedagogy
• Section Subtitle
• OER Learning activities should have explicit learning aims and objectives so that both learners and teachers can define their own initial, formative and summative assessment
• Pedagogies in learning activities should be clear so that adopters of the material can understand how best to use then and to enable appropriate adaptation
• Opportunities need to be made available for practitioners top experiment and innovate
