This document summarizes the responses from professors and students regarding open educational resources (OER) development and reuse. Professors and students were asked about their experiences using and creating OER, what gives them a sense of ownership over ideas and materials, how and with whom they would share ideas, and what tools and contexts could help increase collaboration and engagement with OER. Both groups saw benefits in collaborative environments like universities for sharing ideas early and improving a culture of open sharing and development of knowledge resources.
Task 3 challenges and perspectives for oer development and re-use
- 1. TASK 3 Challenges and perspectives for OER development and re-use Group 1 Livia Di Paola Ana Martínez Alonso Beatriz Mª Luzón Medina
- 2. Have you used OER for learning or teaching? Professors: Students: ● Teaching ● Learning ● Researching ● Learning ● Researching ○ Wikis, virtual courses, moodle & social networks
- 3. What does it take that you feel ownership for something? Professors: Students: ● People’s presence (online too) ● You have the right to decide who you share it with and what use it should be given to it ● When you can change it and use it according to your responsibility, managing the information. ● Books, materials, schoolmates and teacher (distance could be a problem) ● “I don't feel any ownership of the material: I feel I can use those resources to improve my knowledge and that sharing ideas will help me to improve those ideas”
- 4. Who would you share your ideas with? Professors: ● Online, among peer. Not online, with people who have more experience because you need more discussion; people with different experiences ● With anybody willing to make good use of it ● With somebody who is interested in the same field Students: ● ● Among peer with different experiences It depends on the idea: general ideas with people interested on them, and the most technical ideas with people who can help that person to improve them and to apply them
- 5. How to best express new ideas and innovations? Professors: Students: ● With anybody willing to make good use of it ● Through conferences and professional networks ● In a close environment, with ideas and innovations about the same topic ● Through conventions of expert people ● Trying to use it (going from the theoretical field to the practical one).
- 6. Where would you share? Professors: Students: ● In a way that fits the content, because every idea requires its own "vehicle" ● In the faculty, in the department of education. ● In conventions or specific expositions ● Through different forums, or university platforms available on the Internet
- 7. Which tools would you use? Professors: Students: ● If we mean on the internet, any (video, text, online teaching platform...) ● Internet: specific forums, universities platforms (MOOCs, etc.) and facilities, as well as entrepreneur conventions and forums ○ short videos on Tumblr ● Computer programmes and books. ○ videos and spots on YouTube
- 8. How to create use engagement to increase re-use and development of OER in collaborative settings? Professors: ● Open licenses ● Platforms that act as an aggregator ● Explaining how to use OER by organizing courses and special training Students: ● ● Greater compatibility among different devices The most important key is the community build around the knowledge field. ○ The collaboration of the people is the main driver of the e-learning because they decide what they need and what they want to learn ○ They increase the use and development of OER needed in order to create a big and active learning community
- 9. Why do you think people hesitate to create and share OER? Professors: ● Cultural limitations ● Illusion of losing control ● Responsability ○ everybody can criticize you if you try to do something new and you fail Students: ● ● ● ● Fear ○ Ideas and projects can be copied and commercially exploited by other stakeholders The amount of work behind the creation of OER Collaborative culture is not widespread yet Copyright ○ Maybe someone can copy that knowledge without giving any credit to the person who created it
- 10. Which tools allow/ do not allow to re-use and modify OER? Professors: Students: ● Copyright ● Absence of standards ● Blogs, podcasts or social networks ○ You can share, upload, compare and modify information ● Absence of media education ● Digital devices ● Copyright licences
- 11. What context would help users to start collaborating on idea development already? In an early stage of OER development? Professors: ● Formation and organization of the team in the design phase Students: ● ● A young and innovative environment with students looking for a new job opportunity, as pioneers of new technologies University context to improve the culture of collaborating. ○ Universities should push students to share their researches, ideas and innovations with their colleagues
- 12. How would you explain the emotional relationships between the creator of OER and his/her collaborators and the artefacts that they create? Professors: ● Metaphor uncle and nephew (you can be nice and bright without having the responsibility of a parent): The risk is the lack of gratitude ● It depends very much on the situation and the people involved Students: ● ● Emotional relationship should be overcome, otherwise it becomes an obstacle Parental relation: ○ ○ ○ The idea that you have shared is like your son, you try to develop/improve it as much as you can, and then you put it in the real world Yyou share it with people in order to improve all together In the future, the idea will be improved and all the people influenced by this would be better or, at least, this is what you would like to.
- 13. When do you think intentional and conscious feeling of “emotional ownership” can be better created? Under which conditions? Professors: ● ● Awareness, team, honesty, making known the contribution of others The more demanding the task is, the more engagement it fosters, provided that it is something appealing to the creator in the first place Students: ● Working on together as a team
