Differentiating Between Open Access and Open Educational Resources
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

Differentiating open access and open educational resource can be a challenge in some contexts. Excellent resources such as "How Open Is It?: A Guide for Evaluating the Openness of Journals" (CC BY) https://sparcopen.org/our-work/howopenisit created by SPARC, PLOS, and OASPA greatly aid us in understanding the relative openness of journals. However, visual resources to conceptually differentiate open educational resources (OER) from resources disseminated using an open access approach do not currently exist. Until now.

This one page introductory guide differentiates OER and OA materials on the basis of purpose (teaching vs. research), method of access (analog and digital), and in terms of the relative freedoms offered by different levels of Creative Commons licenses, the most common open license. Many other open licenses, including open software licenses also exist.

In Romanian universities, European Studies are traditionally focused on social and political sciences, economics, law or history, as well as international relations. Lately, EU aspects have increasingly been included in study areas that are not specifically related to the EU, and tailor-made courses on specific EU issues have been introduced that are relevant for graduates in their professional life.Unfortunately, only a few interdisciplinary modules have been developed over the last few years in Romanian universities. Therefore, West University of Timisoara (WUT) looks to the best ways of delivering the European dimension in all study programmes, by involving the use of new technologies and innovative teaching methods.Thus, the general aim of the proposed project is to integrate a short teaching programme about digital literacy (DL) into different European contexts, into curricula of different specialisations within WUT. The proposed module adopts innovative teaching methodologies based on Open Educational Practices (OEP), such as flipped classroom, MOOCs.

Com as mudanças de paradigmas na Educação, é importante que os professores conheçam as transformações a que se têm assistido, nomeadamente no que concerne à Educação a Distância, cada vez mais propagada no mundo académico. Tendo esta última modificado nos últimos anos as formas de ensino e aprendizagem, torna-se cada vez mais necessário que entusiastas da área compreendam as metodologias da EAD de forma mais progressiva e sejam capazes de as integrar no processo. Partindo deste pressuposto, “Educação a Distância e Mediação para Professores” é um curso de curta duração que se destina a compartilhar recursos de desenvolvimento profissional e de instrução que enaltecem o papel do professor como agente principal na mudança do processo de ensino / aprendizagem. Pretende-se que os docentes interessados adquiram uma profunda compreensão acerca do papel da Educação a Distância, dos processos de transição entre modelos presenciais e a distância, da virtualização de cursos, desenvolvimento de actividades na rede, bem como do uso de recursos capazes de ajudar os alunos a atender às novas expectativas, entre outros.Este trata-se por isso de um curso de formação de professores para todos os que pretendem utilizar a WEB nas suas aulas mas não sabem como incorporar as novas tecnologias eficazmente neste contexto, usar e integrar materiais motivadores que funcionem como elementos enriquecedores da experiência de aprendizagem online, bem como desenvolver pedagogias integradas e tangíveis. Os conteúdos programáticos do curso proposto assumem-se como os seguintes: 1. Ensino a Distância – contextualização do seu papel no século XXI2. Autonomia na Aprendizagem3. Perfil do Professor e a importância da comunicação4. Concepção e desenho5. Selecção de Plataformas6. Utilização de Recursos Educacionais Abertos7. Planeamento de Actividades Online O presente módulo abrange conteúdos acerca da primeira temática do curso - Ensino a Distância e a sua contextualização  no século XXI.

Equity and Consent in Open Education
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This lesson plan, developed originally for graduate Library and Information Science (LIS) students is focused on developing culturally responsive and equity-minded LIS professionals when promoting open education with students, scholars, and community members from historically underrepresented backgrounds and/or with marginalized identities. Though many open practitioners discuss and leverage open education as a means of democratizing education and information access, we must remember the harm that learners and scholars face when we adopt openness with a paternalistic mindset. This lesson consists of readings, case studies, slide decks, and discussions.

Frog Heart Preparation
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

An isolated frog heart preparation is useful in the study of cardiac cell excitation. The small size of the frog's heart means that drugs applied to the outside of the heart will peneterate the myocardium and modify the functions of the heart's cardiac chambers. Thus, the effect of the autonomic neurotransmitter substance together with their modification by other drugs can be studied by addition of these agents to the heart.This module has been internally reviewed by a cross-disciplinary committee within KNUST prior to releasing as an Open Educational Resource.

This is a very well-produced website with material on a wide range of art-related topics. There are essays on specific artists and on more quirky topics like pop star clothing. The images on individual art historical movements are interactive, click and more information appears. There are embedded videos on certain topics. It is a relatively comprehensive and entertaining website, although the topics have to be searched for - it is not chronologically laid out as a text.

Health Management I Module Guide
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This module was developed at the School of Public Health, University for the Western Cape for the Postgraduate Certificate in Public Health which was offered as a distance learning module between 2001 and 2008. Health management is considered an important skill area for Public Health professionals. The module covers three key management areas: people management, planning and resource management. Through exploring these areas, the module aims to provide information and assistance at a practical level, continually referring the student to management issues within their own context.Ę As management is cross-cutting in relation to other Public Health fields, the student is also expected to relate much of the management study material to the contexts of the other Certificate modules.

ISKME Michelson 20MM: OER Campus Administrator Quick Start Guide
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This OER campus administrator guide, officially entitled "OER & Online Learning: Administrator Quick Start Guide, Strengthening the Shift to Online Learning in California Community Colleges Through the Use of OER", is an outcome of a project by ISKME, supported by a grant from the Michelson 20MM Foundation, to conduct a study and develop a set of resources to accelerate OER use for distance education, especially the urgent shift to remote learning during the pandemic in 2020.

The Guide, created in collaboration with a selection of OER and online education champions across California community colleges (CCC), seeks to support community college administrators in California and beyond in more effectively supporting faculty use of OER as they work to address the reality of online learning in response to COVID-19 and future disruptions. The guide provides quick tips and starting points for campus administrators as they work to create the policy and practice environments needed to foster increased OER use for online learning.

This rubric defines a set of open educational practices that help educators to advance a classroom and school culture of open education and to advocate for the potential benefits of open educational resources (OER) in the context of continuous improvement. The rubric is intended to guide educator practice in working with OER to ensure that every student has the opportunity to engage in learning effectively. The rubric supports educators in accessing, curating, evaluating, and adapting OER in response to students’ particular needs, interests, and contexts, to author and share original or remixed resources, and to disseminate approaches to the implementation of those resources for future OER users to benefit from.
