OER Basics: 3-2-1 Reflection
by Susan Payne 4 years, 4 months agoAfter reviewing the OER Basics section of the User Guide, share:
- 3 things you learned
- 2 questions you still have
- 1 next step you will take
After reviewing the OER Basics section of the User Guide, share:
Things I learned: fair use guidelines, using OER resources in Google Classroom, guidelines for remix of CC licensed resources
Questions I still have: none at this time
Next step: learning more about using 'groups' in our hub
I like how I can move through the guide and focusing on what I need to know to move forward. Three things I learned:
1. I learned how to properly attach Creative Commons license information to documents.
2. I learned about the lesson template which I hope to use when working with projects that involve collaborative lesson development with teachers.
3. I learned about the heirarchy built into Oregon Open Learning. I like the flow from collaborative space to vetted resource.
Questions I still have:
1. What does collaboration within OOL look like? I think I will need to dive in and start some sort of collaborative project or participate in one to develop a resource.
2. How will we actually vet resources? I like the document that can be used to evaluate resources, but I don't see where there is a place to include that within OOL "attached" to a resource.
Next Step
My next step will be to look for appropriate resources to populate the Math group.
Things I learned: OER resources are superior to commercial products; students perform as well or better; OER fosters equity.
Questions: How widely used are these resources in Oregon? What are the biggest challenges to get these resources more widly used?
Next step: Explore hubs for personalized learning resources.
I learned the best places to find Open Educational Resources, how to refine searches, and about remixes.
Questions: How will the resources be vetted?
Next step: Contributing to the Early Learning Resources
Three things I learned: 1) more options for CC licensing, 2) how to share resources in Google Classroom, 3) that current research shows that CC curricular materials are statistically equivalent to publishers' curricula. Two questions I still have: 1) how can we ensure that Oregon educators' efforts are maintained as CC BY-NC-SA in perpetuity? and, 2) how do we more effectively market Oregon Open Learning as an important resource for educator and student agency? One next step I will take: engage with Jessica and Emily to determine our legislative history and legal options, respectively, related to my questions.
New learning for me included the 5 Rs of OER, the Creative Commons license and how to look for it attached to resources, and the research efforts involving Open Educational Resources. Two questions for me center on how I will be able to contribute and/or vet, and what resources will look like for Career & Technical Education. The next step is to learn more by investigating other learning hubs and discussions with my colleagues!
3 things I learned: Differences in the Creative Common Licenses; 5 R's; compatibility with Google Classroom
2 questions I have: Who decides what gets accepted as a resource? How to request to have materials put in for CCL?
1 next step: Look for materials/resources to add to my groups
3 things learned
1. copyrights are complex
2. how to search for a resource with parameters
3. The various licenses
2 questions still have
1. what does it look like to remix (exactly, need to do to completely understand)
2. How to work with others on the same resource over time
1 Next step I will take
1. reach out to Hubs again about how they can use OOL
Three things I learned: Open licenses, CC licenses, and the specifics of fair use and copyright
Two questions I still have: How and where Alt Ed fits (is it integrated or separate?), and how to engage more educators
One next step I will take: share the User Guide with my Alt Ed community

1 next step:
Things I have learned: how open education resources can help close the equity and access gap for teachers and students, that OER can be empowering to teachers so that more time is used for teaching relevant/current information, the five R's: reuse, remix, revise, retain, and redistribute.
Two questions I have: I will be managing a WBL hub which current doesn't have "standards" to align too, will this imapct the evaluation and approval process for what is published in the hub? Recommendations appreciated.
Next step I am taking: during the summer I will begin evaluating and approving documents to fill the WBL Hub with.
