OER for Precedent. Take the movement for Open Educational Resources, or OER, for example. Based on the idea of open access, OER is the free, immediate, online use of available research articles with re-use rights. Open access and OER makes content available for anyone anywhere in the world to read, access and build upon.

So, in addition to all the research on research, David Wiley presented some outcome findings for OERs. Specifically, OERs are at least as good as traditional copyrighted materials. There were some interesting insights, but I cheekily pulled more (they were offering chocolates for questions anyway).

Media elements are extremely valuable tools to publishers. Without images, any digital learning program would be dull and unengaging. This is especially true today. A 2015 study showed that teens spend an average of 9 hours a day consuming online media.

Sites like OER Commons and e-learningforkids.org accept content, so you could create something and have it used by real people. Local historical societies, museums, or unemployment services offices may be interested in your volunteer work, as might an open source project looking to educate people about their application.

OER Commons. Someone else recommended Lynda.com , which is looking for course authors but probably isn’t quite what he’s looking for. I know of several places where content can be donated or shared with a Creative Commons license. This isn’t a complete list, but a place to start: Wikieducator. Connexions.

If educational institutes start adopting OERs in classrooms, students will be able to save a lot of money that would otherwise be spent on purchasing textbooks and rental subscriptions. Although rentals are a good option approved by educational institutes, OER is yet to be widely accepted by educational institutes.

There’s no point rehashing the same lectures when the world’s best authorities have already recorded them and offered them to the world as OERs. The role of the teacher will evolve. It’s how the teacher uses that content to support learning that will make the difference. The pedagogy of MOOCs will be enriched.

MOOCs on various topics can be set up using blended content – some custom designed and some re-purposed from OERs and other available content from the net as long as one takes care to note the various IPR-related policies. MOOCs do not always require custom-built content to set up unless the need is very specific.

As I use open educational resource (OER) materials, I can easily edit the textbook as needed to accommodate student misconceptions or often will just make a short video and post it online.
