A Technical Perspective
“web-based materials, offered freely and openly for use and re-use in teaching, learning and research” (Joyce, 2007).
Joyce, A. (2007). OECD Study of OER: Forum Report, OECD. Retrieved December 12, 2011 from http://www.unesco.org/iiep/virtualuniversity/forumsfiche.php?queryforumspages_id=33.
OER
“teaching, learning and research materials in any medium, digital or otherwise, that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation and redistribution by others with no or limited restrictions”
(UNESCO Paris OER Declaration, 2012)

OER: Just another means of getting there…

Reuse
Redistribute

So…how do I find the material I need for my teaching?
i. Facilitate finding, retrieving and sharing
of OER.
Encourage the development of user-
friendly tools to locate and retrieve OER that are
specific and relevant to particular needs.
(UNESCO Paris OER
Declaration, 2012)

How useful is a resource really?
Measures of Usefulness
Openness
Accessibility
Relevance
Less useful resources are less desirable for teaching and learning needs….
What is Desirability?
The four R’s (Hilton et al., 2010)
▫ Reuse: the ability to use all or part of a work for ones own purposes;
▫ Redistribute: the ability to share ones work with others;
▫ Revise: the ability to adapt, modify, translate or change the form of a work;
▫ Remix: the ability to combine resources to make new resources.

•Access to editing tools
•Level of expertise required to revise or remix
•Meaningfully editable
•Source file access
Relevance
Search rank Value
Below the top 30 ranks of the search results 1
Within the top 21-30 ranks of the search results 2
Within the top 11-20 ranks of the search results 3
Within the top 10 ranks of the search results 4
The level of relevance based on search rank (Vaughan, 2004)
• Users will only consider the top ten ranked results for a particular search as the most relevant;
• Users will ignore the results below the top 30 ranks.
