Overview
This resource is part of the OERizona Advanced Course. This section supports faculty in reviewing OER of their choice. In this section, the faculty will review three OER using the OERizona Network Standards.
Practicing OER Evaluation
In this Module, you have explored OER Commons and the OERizona Hub, which are locations to start your search for high quality OER to use in your courses.
To help contribute to the OERizona community, this course will support you in evaluating three different resources. Your evaluations will help curate high quality OER while also increasing the viewpoints of instructors who share the strengths and opportunities for growth within the resources they review.
For this section, please follow the below steps:
- Make sure that you are logged into OER Commons.
- Locate an OER of your choice that already exists on OER Commons. We suggest using the "Advanced Search" feature.
- Save the resource to your "My Items" so you can find it again later. We recommend making a folder specifically for this Advanced Course.
- Leave a review in the "Comment" section of the resource's landing page. Include the following four things in your comment:
- An overview of the resource
- One indicator from the OERizona rubric that is a strength in this resource and the specific location in the resource that is a strength.
- One indicator from the OERizona rubric that is an area of growth in this resource and the specific location in the resource that is an area of growth.
- A note about possible collaboration or iterations that could be made to use this resource in your specific teaching setting.
- Repeat. You should review three different items. Be sure the resources are saved in your "My Items" so you can find the URLs to submit at the end of this Module.
