Talk given to the University of Michigan Health Science Libraries on enabling the creation and sharing of Open Educational Resources, OER.

1. Greg Grossmeier http://open.umich.edu Open.Michigan The road to Open Educational Resources

2. or... creating interesting and useful educational materials using openly licensed content

3. or... why your students, colleagues, and others around the world will thank you for creating and using openly licensed educational materials

4. “Openly Licensed Educational Materials” ?

5. aka: Open Educational Resources

6. OER

7. what is OER? why OER? open licenses challenges generate OER open.michigan who to talk to

8. OA OCW eLearning OER & Definition by boundaries:

9. The difference between: Open Access (OA) and OER .

11. OER and OA are friends

12. free, permanent, full-text, online access to scientific and scholarly works openly licensed educational content OA // OER - buddies OA OER

13. The difference between: Open Course Ware (OCW) and OER .

15. OCW is a subset of OER

16. OCW, single images, general campus lectures, image collections, singular learning modules, paper or article syllabi, lecture notes, presentation slides, assignments, lecture videos - all related to a course OCW // OER - overlap OER OCW

17. The difference between: eLearning and OER

18. eLearning are electronic instructional resources that are not necessarily Openly licensed. OER materials are designed to be the physical or electronic building blocks of instructional resources and are always Openly licensed. OER and eLearning: a relationship.

19. intersection represents open, electronic, instructional resources eLearning // OER - intersection OER eLearning

20. “ Openly Licensed?” comes from the definition...

21. the OER Definition : “Open educational resources are educational materials and resources offered freely and openly for anyone to use and under some licenses to remix, improve and redistribute.”

22. From the OER Definition : “ Open educational resources are educational materials and resources offered freely and openly for anyone to use and under some licenses to remix, improve and redistribute.”

23. We'll get to licenses later...

139. We help content creators maximize the return on digital resources by helping make these resources free and open for use and reuse by people worldwide. a student driven do-it-yourself and distributed method of generating OER Open Source Software used to manage the process of generating OER

141. a bit of background.. Fall 2007, the Medical School commits to publishing all of its pre-clinical materials as OER. All U-M health science deans pledge their support

142. And then from that small first step...

143. Health OER Disseminates edu cat ional materials to educators, physicians, clinicians, students, and self-learners throughout the world, free of charge. Enables global access to our health science education materials: lectures, labs, and other course curricula. Improves health education and health care delivery within the University, the State of Michigan, and worldwide.

144. Not just health-related

146. What do these OERs look like?

158. “ This is a really good presentation. Very clear and I like your examples and excel sheet calculations. Thank you for the great lecture.” “ My teacher did not explain as clear as you did.” “ Thanks for this video. Very well explained and with examples.”
