infodocketGARY's bookmarks 2017-12-14
Summary:
In response to increasing membership interest in Open Educational Resources (OER) and the library's role in this endeavour, from September 2016 until November 2017, OCUL undertook an environmental scan and analysis of current activities in the realm of open education publishing. This research resulted in the creation of the Open Educational Resources White Paper, which was approved for distribution in November 2017.
The scope of this report focused on the following topics:
- Overview of the current teaching and learning environment
- Faculty perspective
- Student perspective
- Environmental scan of national and international OER initiatives across libraries
- Legal considerations and licensing for producing and repurposing existing works
- Accessibility implications
- Technology and tools in use
- Current opportunities and the next frontier
