Open Educational Resources (OERs)Open Educational Resources (OERs)AdvantagesAdvantages
They are free to use and publicly available. They can be used and/or reused in teaching and learning (usually with
attribution to the creator). They can be repurposed, that is, modified/adapted for a educational
different context of use. They can improve teaching by building on other people’s work. Their development is a global movement and as a result educational
communities across boarders can be created around them.

They are represented in the form of Learning Objects (LOs) and include: “video and audio lectures (podcasts), references and readings, workbooks and textbooks, multimedia animations, simulations, experiments and demonstrations, as well as teachers’ guides and lesson plans”
They are classified and stored along with their associated metadata in web-based repositories which are called Learning Object Repositories (LORs)

Learning Object Repositories (LORs)Learning Object Repositories (LORs)LimitationsLimitations
Typically, although it appears that people visit regularly and download heavily LOs from those LORs, still, there is limited offer of LOs from those people and there is limited feedback on the actual use eventually made by them.
As a result, we have limited evidences on LORs’ impact towards supporting teachers and/or educational practitioners in enhancing their teaching practices.
It might be argued that this is due to the fact that existing LORs are lacking systematic mechanisms for relating their educational resources to their learning and educational context of use.
Teachers and/or educational practitioners could benefit from having access to best teaching practices, sharing their teaching practices with other teachers and/or educational practitioners and reflecting on each others’ teaching practices.
This also bares the potential to provide learning and educational contextual knowledge to educational resources available in LORs.

Open Learning Designs (Open LDs)Open Learning Designs (Open LDs)DefinitionDefinition
An Open Learning Design (Open LD) is defined as: “the description of the teaching-learning process, which follows a specific
pedagogical model or practice that takes place in a unit of learning (e.g., a course, a learning activity or any other designed learning event) towards addressing specific learning objectives,
for a specific target group in a specific context or subject domain”

Title: Proteins
Description: In this unit we explore how proteins are the 'doers' of the cell. They are huge in number and variety and diverse in structure and function, serving both the structural building blocks and the functional machinery of the cell. Just about every process in every cell requires specific proteins. The basic principles of protein structure and function which are reviewed in this unit are crucial to understanding how proteins perform their various roles.

Open LDs along with their associated metadata can be organized, classified and stored in web-based repositories which are referred to as Learning Design Repositories (LDRs).
LDRs are built so as to support storage, discovery, retrieval, use, re-use and sharing of Open LDs and Open LD templates (that is, Open LDs without specific educational content) among educational communities.

the educational scenarios (that is, a structured flow of learning activities populated with resources and facilitated by certain tools and devices, where teachers and students participate assuming certain roles).

A Model Learning Design RepositoryA Model Learning Design RepositoryThe Case of COSMOS LD RepositoryThe Case of COSMOS LD Repository
The COSMOS LD Repository (http://www.cosmosportal.eu/) was developed in the framework of the COSMOS Project (http://www.cosmos-project.eu/) and provides access to Science Education Open LDs (compatible with IMS LD Specification) for school and higher education.
In order to enable the users of the COSMOS LD Repository (namely, Science Education Teachers) to develop their Open LDs in a commonly understandable manner and share them through the COSMOS LD Repository, we defined a strategy that includes: The expression of typical pedagogical models used in Science Education, in the form of Open LD Templates by using an
existing LD authoring tool, namely the ASK Learning Design Toolkit (ASK-LDT)
The customization of the selected authoring tool (the resulted tool was named COSMOS ASK-LDT), so as to incorporate the produced Open LD Templates and facilitate science education teachers to develop their Open LDs (based on these Open Learning Design Templates ) and share them through the COSMOS LD repository.
The COSMOS LD Repository has more than 1.650 registered users from 65 countries and includes more than 350 Open LDs and more than 100.000 OERs

Discussion-ConclusionsDiscussion-Conclusions OERs are classified and stored along with their associated metadata Learning
Object Repositories (LORs). However, there are limited evidences on LORs’ impact towards supporting
teachers and/or educational practitioners in enhancing their teaching practices.
We consider that this might be improved if we move towards the design and development of Learning Design Repositories for storing, classifying and sharing Open LDs.
Nevertheless, this would require: (a) authoring tools and (b) appropriate strategies for populating the LDRs, as well as appropriately designed LDRs
Within this context, we consider COSMOS LD Repository as a model LD Repository, which can contribute to the advancement of the efforts for building LDRs
