Open Distance and Blended Learning I

Open Educational Resources                            

Parallel Session (A)

Facilitators: Catherine Bruen (NDLR), Fiona Concannon (NUI Galway)

Open educational resources are educational materials and resources offered freely and openly for anyone to use and under some licenses to re-mix, improve and redistribute. Open educational resources include:

• Learning content: full courses, course materials, content modules, learning objects, collections, and journals.
• Tools: Software to support the creation, delivery, use and improvement of open learning content including searching and organization of content, content and learning management systems, content development tools, and on-line learning communities.
• Implementation resources: Intellectual property licenses to promote open publishing of materials, design-principles, and localization of content.

This workshop aims to explore some of the avenues for sourcing and contributing to open educational resources. The reuse of OER in higher education is still at its infancy. The session will prompt participants to consider the driving forces behind the production and use of such materials.
