Teacher OER from Going Open
Working with book trailers
Working with intercultural communication
Sharing OER with others
6 teachers were interviewed about their sharing habits
Frequency in postingNow and then, not on a regular basis
Reasons for postingTo fill gaps that were missing, getting appreciation, an opportunity for response, getting
more colleagues
Reasoning about why few teachers post OERLack of time, other priorities, uncertain about the quality in their own work, afraid of being
critiqued
Reflections from teachers from Going Open
• Eye-opener to the wealth of possibilities• Getting over the threshold of sharing• An eye-opener to openness
