Example of a blueprint
Design blueprint for Digital skills for collaborative OER development
Metadata
- Level: 3rd year Bachelor Degree Level
- Discipline(s): Learning design, open education and digital skills
- Notional learning hours 40 hours
- Credits 4 credits of a 15 credit course towards a 120 credit credential
- Credential(s): Graduate Diploma in Tertiary Education at Otago Polytechnic
- Hashtag: DS4OER
Intended target audience
This course is designed for existing or future educational practitioners. The intended target audience for this course includes:
- Teachers working in the school sector,
- Lecturers working in community colleges, polytechnics and universities,
- Trainers working in the vocational education and corporate training sectors,
- Pre-service teachers, lecturers and trainers.
- OERu course developers and volunteers
Prerequisite knowledge
- Knowledge of open educational resources and creative commons licenses is recommended. However, learners without detailed knowledge of OER or Creative Commons licenses will be able to successfully complete the course with self-study of these concepts.
- The course is recommended for learners who have completed the OERu Open Content Licensing for Educators course.
- Working knowledge of office software, file management and web browsing skills.
Course aims
- To acquire and demonstrate digital skills including social media skills for open and cooperative design, development and publishing of an OER course site on the open web.
- To establish and build professional networks.
Outcomes
- Design and publish a storyboard using online digital tools for OER learning pathways
- Design and publish an open design course blueprint
- Develop a course description suitable for publishing information about a prospective course on the web
- Develop basic wiki skills for cooperative development of OER
- Search, find, adapt, remix and legally share openly licensed images
- Search, find, adapt, remix and legally share openly licensed rich media (for example audio and video)
- Sequence and chunk information for publishing an OER learning pathway
- Integrate pedagogical features into OER course materials
- Use social media tools for peer learning and support
- Publish two learning pathways as part of a course website on the open web.
Development and delivery approach
This is the third of four micro courses for the Open Education Practice elective of the Graduate Diploma in Tertiary Education at Otago Polytechnic. The four micro courses are:
- Open content licensing for educators: Which focuses on copyright, OER and Creative Commons Licenses
- Dimensions of openness in education': Which covers the concepts of open education, open learning, open educational practices, open policy, open source software and open scholarship.
- Digital skills for collaborative OER development: Which focuses on the digital and social media skills used for open design and development of OER learning materials.
- OER development project: Builds on the resources developed in the digital skills for collaborative OER development with greater emphasis on pedagogical design elements and community service learning.
The course will be assembled from existing OERs and implement a "pedagogy of discovery" where learners are encouraged to find their own resources to support their learning.
The course promotes a learn-by-doing approach. It will comprise a series of learning pathways designed to achieve the stated learning outcomes incorporating learning challenges for each pathway where learners practice and refine their skills. Integrated activities for peer-learning interaction (microblogs, blog posts and discussion forum posts) are embedded in the course design. Where appropriate, interactive case studies will be used to facilitate learner-content interactions and simulated dialogue with course developers. The course will also include digital skills challenges for searching, adapting and publishing OER images and rich media for inclusion in the materials. Learners will also publish their own course websites.
The course presumes average computer literacy using standard office applications, web-navigation and the ability to register accounts for open web services. Digital and social media literacy skills relevant to finding and remixing OERs and peer-sharing of the learning journey through collaborative design will be embedded in the course with corresponding self-study support tutorials to promote capability development in these areas.
Assessment strategy
There is one assignment for this course comprising two elements:
- Publishing two learning pathways developed during the course (Weight 70%. Learners will be assessed on the application of their digital skills for collaborative development by evaluating the published materials online).
- Learning reflection including evidence of cooperation (Weight 30%. Learners will be required to link to evidence of their collaboration and interaction during the course.)
