Thing 12 of our 23 things is OER. I talk a lot about OER. Last week I was talking about it in Barcelona, this week I’m talking about it in Paris, in two weeks I’ll be in Berlin. I also write a bit about OER. On this blog and occasionally for case studies and articles. …

23 Things: Thing 11 & 12 Copyright and OER
First of all a confession – I can get quite emotional about copyright and licensing :’} So emotional in fact that Jane Secker’s ALT Conference keynote Copyright and e-learning: understanding our privileges and freedoms actually brought a wee tear to my eye. You might think I’m making this up but it’s true, and the reason why is that […]
Bonus Thing C – An OER on OERs in HE
I made this OER on Open Educational Resources (OERS) in HE as an assignment submission for the course An Introduction to Digital Environments for Learning (IDEL) which is part of the MSc In Digital Education at the University of Edinburgh. I’ve no idea if anyone has ever looked at it, but it’s nice to have created an assignment in … Continue reading Bonus Thing C – An OER on OERs in HE →
Thing 12: Open Educational Resources
I searched for an OER that would be useful to me and via the Open Repositories list found a course by OpenLearnWorks on Learning through reflective Practice . I’m currently supporting staff who are undertaking their Certified Membership of the Association for Learning Technology (CMALT) and this resource could be helpful in preparing them to write … Continue reading Thing 12: Open Educational Resources →
Thing 12: Open Educational Resources
This is a cross-post between WordPress and Medium. Open Educational Resources (OERs) are online or digital resources that are available for others to use to support learning. So says the definition on 23 Things. That makes OER interpretable in many different ways, as ‘resources’ are essentially any form of distributed digital media, which become OER as a result of … Continue reading “Thing 12: Open Educational Resources”
Return to 23 Things
With Samhuinn behind us, life is slowly returning to its regular format ( with a hint of regret). And while more photography and personal posts are in the works, I am woefully behind on the 23 Things blogging – and I’ve genuinely been missing the steady weekly learning, so it’s good to be back on […]
23 Things: Thing 10 Wikimedia
Still woefully behind…I should be on Thing 18 by now and I’ve only reached Thing 10 :} Never mind though because Thing 10 is a wonderful Thing. Thing 10 is Wikimedia! It’s a bit of an understatement to say that I am a huge fan of all the Wikimedia projects, whether it’s Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, […]
Week 5 of 23 Things – Thing 12: OER
Thing 12 asks us to ” Find an OER in your field and share it on your blog. To do this, use either the Edinburgh OERs, or the resources provided on the Open.Ed ‘Where to find OERs’ page.” There are many places to go for OERs, which was presented to us. So I found this […]
Thing 12: Open Educational Resources
This is the first Thing I’ve struggled with. My colleagues are all heavily involved with making educational resources openly available (either by producing them or facilitating their distribution by social media, etc.), but it’s not something with which I have direct involvement. Even for the Bonus Thing C, I’ve struggled. All of the material seems […]
Week 4 of 23 Things – Thing 8: Facebook
Like over 1 in 12 people globally, I do use Facebook, but not as much I can could or should. Mainly due to the level of data the social media platform would gather on me if I did use Facebook Groups. I have used them in the past, having created and joined a Facebook Group […]
Week 3 of 23 Things – Thing 6: Accessibility
The second of week 3’s Things, Thing 6 was all about accessibility. This is something that I was very aware of in 2004 when I first started to work in e-Learning as it was then (now Technology Enhanced Learning). Something has got lost along the way I feel, especially in how people deal with accessibility […]
Week 3 of 23 Things – Thing 5: Diversity
Yay for diversity online. It’s amazing how long diversity has taken to reach online websites and for websites like Bitmoji to come online. I like the idea of representing a more authentic version of yourself, allbeit in cartoon format online, hence my choice for big red thumbs up gloves for my avatar. When most young […]
