Curriculum design for open education/Resources and technologies/Learning pathway
Resources and technologies
|
This activity involves an initial exploration of open course technologies and resources with a goal of creating a collective, bigger picture of the open technology landscape. To get started, explore these open course offerings hosted on the following platforms, observing what you can about the technologies and resources adopted for each: Responding to the proliferation of platforms and tools (whether open, free or commercial), some individuals have curated one-stop directories to assist others to evaluate and choose toolsets, such as consultant Jane Hart's directory of discussion forum tools. Can you suggest further curated directories to share with your course colleagues? If so, share the link on our Wiggio group site, briefly describing the curated collection of open platforms and/or tools. If kicking this off, please identify the topic in your comment e.g. 'Open course tools directory', so others can reply under this thread. Connecting technologies with potential learners’ digital literacy, also visit at least one example of the technology requirements for an open course. In this micro course by contrast, we have tried to balance the number of prescribed tools to support a common workspace, with a choice of curation tools in Task 1: Curation and peer feedback.

In preparation for Task 1: Curation and peer feedback, visit some of the key open educational resources (OER) repositories and portals via Finding OERs in the JISC Open Educational Resources InfoKit. This presents a further example of a curated directory to support discovery and reuse of OER.

Focusing on open educational resources (OER) and Creative Commons licensing, work through the Creative Commons Licensing tutorial within which you can test your understanding of the range of licensing terms and use the Creative Commons website to generate different licenses.
