Creating open educational resources

8 Conclusion

This study unit has tried to emphasise the issues to consider when constructing self-study Open Educational Resources for your intended learners. My objectives or learning outcomes were that, after studying this unit, you should:

  • be able to state your own motivation for producing Open Educational Resources (OERs);
  • have analysed some of the research into online learning;
  • have evaluated some examples of resources for active open-learning;
  • be able to plan a structured learning experience using a range of resources;
  • be able to construct a unit by remixing resources;
  • have considered how to evaluate your teaching resource.

I hope that having completed this unit you now do two things:

  • Let me know the extent to which you think the above objectives have been met and how the unit could be improved by posting some ‘constructive comments’ in the forum.
  • Log onto the OER Handbook for Educators and contribute to the developments there.

Do this

Now you have completed this unit, you might like to:

  • Post a message to the unit forum.
  • Review or add to your Learning Journal.
  • Rate this unit.

Try this

You might also like to:

  • Find out more about a related Open University course.
  • Book a FlashMeeting to talk live with other learners.
  • Create a Knowledge Map to summarise this topic.
