“teaching, learning and research
materials in any medium, digital
or otherwise, that reside in the
public domain or have been
released under an open license
that permits no-cost access, use,
adaptation and redistribution by
others with no or limited
restrictions”

Open Educational Resources (OER) - A Quick Introduction
So…how do I find the material I need for my teaching?
Open Educational Resources (OER) - A Quick Introduction
Google“AdvancedSearch”resultsforOERonChemistry(24thMay2012)
Native search mechanisms perhaps?
i. Facilitate finding, retrieving
and sharing of OER.
Encourage the
development of user-
friendly tools to locate and
retrieve OER that are
specific and relevant to
particular needs.

OER vs. MOOC
Open Educational Resources (OER) - A Quick Introduction
“The large scale of the community, from several
hundred to several thousand participants,
maximizes the possibility that the “long tail”
effect will enable someone with even the most
esoteric interests within the overall focus of the
MOOC to find people with whom to share and
collaborate” McAuley, Stewart, Siemens, & Cormier (2010)
McAuley, A., Stewart, B., Siemens, G., & Cormier, D. (2010). The MOOC Model for Digital Practice. Retrieved 12 15, 2013, from
http://www.elearnspace.org/Articles/MOOC_Final.pdf
“...what MOOCs will not do is address the
challenge of expanding higher education in the
developing world. It may encourage universities
there, both public and private, to develop online
learning more deliberately, and OER from MOOC
courses may find their way, alongside OER from
other sources, into the teaching of local
institutions”. Daniel (2012)
Daniel, J. (2012). Making sense of MOOCs: Musings in a maze of myth, paradox and possibility. Journal of Interactive Media in
Education, 3.

Change in public opinion on ‘OER’ vs. ‘MOOC’
for a 6 month timespan between May to October 2013
• there is an increasing amount of interest
on MOOC;
• the public still hasn’t formed strong
opinions regarding MOOC due to the
novelty of the ideology;
