1) The document discusses research on optimizing the use of open educational resources (OER) by teachers. It outlines motivators and barriers for teachers in adopting OER. 2) Quality is identified as a key factor, and a quality model is proposed with criteria for OER content and design. 3) Two scenarios for OER use are described: a reading list and instruction model with more student agency. Support needs for teachers and students are noted.
Towards optimal benefiting from OER
- 1. Towards optimal benefiting from OER Robert Schuwer
- 2. About me • Born in The Hague, the Netherlands (1955) • MSc in mathematics (1980) & computer science (1989) • PhD on knowledge base systems (1993) • In the “field of open” since 2006 • My research interest: how to widen adoption of OER by teachers, institutions and governments?
- 3. Our research What have we learned sofar about sharing and reusing OER? (Baas & Schuwer, 2020; Schuwer & Janssen, 2019; Schuwer, Kreijns & Vermeulen, 2014)
- 4. Motivators for teachers – Efficiency gains – No expensive resources – Educational gains – Personal gains
- 5. Barriers for teachers – (Lack of) time – (Lack of) support – Quality – “What’s in it for me” unclear – No or unknown policy – No recognition • Research is considered more important
- 6. Other observations – Quality, quality, quality – Teachers have different images about the concept OER – There are more valuable resources than OER • Just open access, no 5R • Semi-open resources Optimum mix of learning materials
- 7. Quality, quality, quality • Quality model – Set of requirements and norms – Must Have & Nice to Have • Minimum quality model • Provide guidance for teacher
- 8. Process flow
- 9. Case Bachelor Nursing • 15 UoAS collaborate in creating, sharing and reusing OER (start 2017) • Community of Practice • Start: formulated quality model – 6 months throughput time – Each year refinement • Institutions adopted model for all their learning materials
- 10. Quality model Nursing • Only applicable for lessons and courses • Six criteria on content – E.g. It is clear which CanMeds role the resource is meant for • One criterion on didactics – Learning outcomes are defined • Six miscellaneous criteria – e.g. Open license available; no breaches on copyright
- 11. What’s in it for me? • Connect to passion of the teacher – And that is NOT open licenses • Conceptual model
- 13. Conceptual model Learning outcomes Teaching and learning activities Assessment Constructive Alignment Closed Open Infrastructure (Technical, organisational, accommodating policy) Learning materials Principles
- 14. Two scenarios • Reading list – “classic” • Instruction – More agency for students – Open Pedagogy • http://openpedagogy.org/
- 15. Reading list
- 16. Instruction
- 17. Support needed • For each of the activities • Both for students and teachers
- 18. Competencies • Competency framework for OER – From UNESCO (2016) • Five classes of competencies – Becoming familiar with OER – Searching for OER – Using OER – Creating OER – Sharing OER
