Slides to support a workshop at a University of Suffolk teaching and learning day on 14 December 2016. The workshop looked at challenges involved in sourcing digital resources for learning and teaching, and discussed the role that OER might play. We also looked briefly at the Jisc resource and app store, in beta at December 2016.

7. Two definitions of OER
»“Open Educational Resources
(OER) are teaching and
learning materials that you
may freely use and reuse at no
cost, and without needing to
ask permission.” (from OER
Commons)
»“Open educational resources
include full courses, course
materials, modules, textbooks,
streaming videos, tests,
software, and any other tools,
materials, or techniques used
to support access to
knowledge.” (from the
Hewlett Foundation)

8. Open education
‘…open education is not limited to just open educational resources. It
also draws upon open technologies that facilitate collaborative, flexible
learning and the open sharing of teaching practices that empower
educators to benefit from the best ideas of their colleagues. It may also
grow to include new approaches to assessment, accreditation and
collaborative learning'.
