The 4 R's of Openness

Hilton, J. W. (2010, January 11). The 4 R's of Openness and the ALMS Analysis: Frameworks for Open Educational Resources.

Reuse—The most basic level of openness. People are allowed to use all or part of the work for their own purposes (e.g. download an educational video to watch at a later time).

Remix—People can take two or more existing resources and combine them to create a new resource

(e.g. take audio lectures from one course and combine them with slides from another course to create a new derivative work).

Redistribute—People can share the work with others

(e.g. email a digital article to a colleague).

Revise—People can adapt, modify, translate, or change the form the work

(e.g. take a book written in English and turn it into a Spanish audio book).

We will need to do more than merely making learning materials available.

Potential barriers: The language of instruction; contextualization and localization; access to technologies other regions (cultural & social norms; languages).The technological divide might be narrower but it is deeper.

The language gap is a significant obstacle. Yet even if OER is translated to the local language an adaptation would still be needed.

English is considered an international language due to its usage in knowledge dissemination. However, the majority of learners worldwide come from non-English-speaking backgrounds.

Beyond access there are also cultural and institutional issues.

Contextualization of resources presents significant obstacles, where local content development is crucial.

“The simple existence of free and open material is

necessary but not sufficient for

wide scale adoption and use”

• To facilitate the collaborative work (as well as time).

• To develop consistent OER research.• Aim for national and international funding.• To consider incentives the faculty. • Promote a better understanding about

copyright and other licenses • To adopt institutional criteria for quality

- Pedagogical approaches for OER, including teaching and learning aspects and links to social learning, constructive learning;

- Technological solutions for OER, including key technologies, standards, specifications (i.e. metadata, publishing, querying);

- Organisational frameworks and procedures: roles of different actors in institutions to build OER, to re-use and remix OER and cost-effective procedures for OER;

- Institutional business models: how do OER affect the institutional business models;

- Cooperative models for OER between institutions and communities of interest.
