OER Fellows
Campus Virtual de las Americas created in collaboration with the Organization of American States (OAS) aims to centralize Spanish educational resources that can be of service throughout Latin-American countries. A single place where administrators, faculty and students can find quality resources to support their work and/or studies -OER, OCWs, MOOCs, Distance Learning programs, Certifications, Accreditations, Scholarships, etc. Using VirtualEduca's extended network CVA will set a space of communication and collaboration where 'openness' can be discussed among institutions of diverse LA countries.

Why Open MOOCs?
• Many members want to participate but don’t have the opportunity, or want a test before committing fully
• Opportunity for us to leverage existing OER and add benefits of interaction and data collection offered by edX platform
• Combine open enrollment with open content to create a diverse array of Open MOOCs
• edX uses open source software
8 courses
• NCTU• Hokkaido • AACC• Tufts• Tess-India• UPM
Survey with Pilot OpenMOOC developers
• Time commitment is significant:• > 40 hours Instructional Designers• > 40 hours faculty time• > 40 hours course facilitators• Didn’t redo video: 10-20 hours video editing• New video: >100 hours shooting and editing• Project managers 10 hours• High level administrators 10 hours
Survey with Pilot OpenMOOC developers
• Re-use of OER varied• Range was 25% - 100% new content
• Lower costs = higher amount of OER used• New content was primarily new video made
specifically for edX MOOC format• All had to create some new content to fit the
platform and requirements
Survey with Pilot OpenMOOC developers
• Cost depends on the extent of modification of materials
• Range was US$6,500 - $100,000• Inclusive of staff time & resources• Extensive video work was most expensive• Increased requirements by edX has
increased some time and costs
OECx impact on OEC
• Format of existing OER has a big impact on how well it will incorporate into edX
• Process is involved and evolving• Time for OEC staff on the basics of each
MOOC was much higher than expected (40+ hours per MOOC, no course development)
• We will need to cover staff costs to continue – would like your comments

• Opportunities– Demand– Supply– Capacity
• Need feedback from the wider OER community
