The RISE Package for R: Reducing Time Through the OER Continuous Improvement Cycle – iterating toward openness

"By definition, open educational resources (OER) are licensed in a manner that gives you permission to change, update, and improve them. However, that permission gives you no insight into what needs to be improved. Learning analytics, on the other hand, can provide great insight into where course materials – including OER – are not effectively supporting student learning. However, that insight does not grant you the permission necessary to make improvements to ineffective course materials."
