Presentation given Summer 2013 for the COETC team regarding moving the developed hybrid courses to published OER. Open educational resources are changing the landscape of course content into a more transparent and open process that fosters fellowship across departments and educational institutions. In the spirit of the process, Colorado Community College System received a TAACCCT grant with the stipulation of publishing the courses to OER. CCCS has been successful in creating/sharing content between the 13 system colleges, 3 independent colleges and the world .
2. How will this OER course be used?
Could be used in its entirety by consortium members
who are offering the same course
Could be used in parts by those looking for content,
activities or assessments for the same course
Will be published in OER to share with other
practitioners
3. Creating the OER course
Work with your team to complete the course
Review the course to ensure it meets all current competencies and the
competencies are part of the first page of the course
Write to a broader audience
Choose the right tool to publish to OER
Full courses—www.merlot.org or www.cnx.org
Instructor or institutional videos— institutional YouTube channel or public media
host
Presentations—institutional presentation hosting site like www.slideshare or or
www.prezi.com
4. Course design basics
Organize by competencies and topics
Don’t use unit numbers, weeks or dates
Include all of the course elements
Keep in mind that once in OER, all parts of the course
will need to be public
Consciously think about 3rd party proprietary material and
is there an alternative (OER sources or instructor created)
5. Course elements which should be
included in OER version
Course information
Content
Activities
Assessment
Feedback loops
11. Why start with a course map?
Organizational tool
Includes all of the design elements
Identifies all material in the course and if material should or
should not be published to OER
12. Best Practices for Publishing TAACCT
Material to OER
Contents are presented and delivered predominantly in multimedia formats
