DS4OERS KI/Context/Overview

This section focuses on your personal reflections on the value of sharing open resources for teaching, guided by the question: Why does open matter?

This course aims to support the development of a range of digital skills, including open online communication tools, which you can continue to use after completing the course. We have used Free and Open Source communication tools so that you can "learn by doing", while sharing your reflections. Hopefully, you will meet and/or connect with other teachers in your region to continue the conversation. You might even decide to work together on improving access to open resources for teaching!

Objectives

In this learning challenge, you will:

• Participate in an online discussion on teaching as a vocation or profession
• Provide information on access to relevant technologies in your region, and any experience using these tools
• Summarise your thoughts on sharing resources, by completing the 'Fair and Reasonable Practice' survey online
• Take part in a 'thought experiment' activity using open source social media
• Connect and contribute to a network with peers in your region.
