There is a handbook on “open educational resources” (OER) which I found very interesting. It starts simple and you don’t need much prior knowledge just a little experience with the computer and browsing the net would be helpful. Open educational resources refer to the useful resources needed in class. Like lesson plans, quizzes, syllabi, and instructional modules.
Key points
With OER you are free to:
Reuse – Use the work verbatim (unaltered), without having to ask permission.
Revise – Alter or transform the work to meet your needs
Remix – Combine the (verbatim or altered) work with other works for enhanced effect
Redistribute – Share the verbatim, reworked, or remixed work with others.
(Wiley, 2007)
With OER students are introduced to how they can make the best out of their knowledge on the net.
With OER students and teachers save time, since there are a lot of spaces already created online and there’s no need to start from scratch. This way the users can the best of their time.
