2. UNESCO/COL
Open Educational Resources (OERs) are any type of educational materials that are in the public domain or introduced with an open license. The nature of these open materials means that anyone can legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them. OERs range from textbooks to curricula, syllabi, lecture notes, assignments, tests, projects, audio, video and animation.

3. UNESCO/COL
COL-UNESCO defines OER as: The phenomenon of OER is an empowerment process, facilitated by technology in which various types of stakeholders are able to interact, collaborate, create, and use materials and pedagogic practices, that are freely available, for enhancing access, reducing costs, and improving the quality of education and learning at all levels
(Kanwar, Balasubramanian & Umar 2010)

10. Product/Process (Mackintosh 2013)
“In education, quality is more about the process than a product. Most open developments start as a first draft -- the expression of an idea. Through repeated iterations and refinements, and collaboration from the [community] the quality of individual projects improve over time."

11. HEA/JISC OERinfoKit QA will occur as a result of
Self-assessment (individuals and institutions release resources of highest quality possible)
Internal QA processes
(institutions to QA their own resources before release)
Rating systems (community- driven QA through ratings and comments within OER release platform)
Individual review (comments and suggestions made by individuals and institutions)

17. Open Education Network
http :// www . open - ed. net
the five Domains of Learning :
Cognitive : the aptitude, prior knowledge and skills necessary for performing
a task or test, and the content knowledge and reflective critical thinking skills to be learnt
Affective : the motivation, attitude and decision to initiate performance,
including the will to reduce own autonomy in order to achieve group tasks
Metacognitive : understanding how the task is performed, and the ability
to self-monitor, evaluate and plan own future learning, and willingness to help others to learn
Environment : the social or physical forum and virtual or augmented reality
in which learning occurs, including any group characteristics
Management : coping critically with massive amounts of information
to obtain appropriate material in a suitable quality for learning, and time management
Kawachi P (2014) FRSA

19. ..biggest challenge in innovation
is envisioning a new paradigm and
abandoning the old constructs
….growing disruption of higher
education’s traditional business
models, there is a steady move
towards ‘openness’ that is
driving innovation and has the
potential to create a new paradigm
in HE
…glocalisation
…time that we accept
this challenge and
recreate our institutions
for service in a networked,
lifelong learning context
…in the final analysis, responsibility for
assuring the quality of OER used in
teaching and learning environments will
reside with the institution, programme/
course coordinators, and individual
educators responsible for delivery of
education
