Demystifying Open Educational Resources

Overview
OER are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use or re-purposing by others. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.

The OER LandscapeOpen Educational Resources
Do you…
• Talk about your courses with your peers?
• Borrow course materials, teaching techniques, sources?
• Share your materials?
OER is all of these things!
• At it’s heart, OER is about doing these sorts of things!
• And, it’s about encouraging sharing of materials and practices
• and clearly communicating what you’re allowing others to do with your materials
What are you allowed to do?
• Instead of “All Rights Reserved”
• Can someone else use your materials?
• Can someone build upon or modify your materials?
• Can they use those materials commercially?
• Do they have to share any materials they develop the same way you shared your materials?
• Do these sound familiar?
• These are the basics of Creative Commons Licenses
• A “standard” way providing permissions to your work

What is the NSC?
A consortium of ten leading community colleges, in nine states, organized to:Develop nationally portable, certificate-level programs in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)
Build a national model for multi-college cooperation in the design and delivery of high-quality occupational programs responsive to labor-market needs

STEM READINESS: 45-hour online course co-developed with Carnegie Mellon Open Learning Initiative (OLI) and CAST designed to quickly refresh “rusty” skills for TAA and dislocated workers entering certificates directly. Closely working with industry partners to develop real-life workplace scenarios.
Math – 15 Hours
Critical Thinking and Workplace Communication – 15 hours
Professional Skills – 15 Hours
FAST TRACKS: Accelerated 8-10 week “on-ramp” designed to quickly build key skills for lower level learners immediately prior to entry in the Credit Certificate programs. This part will be backward designed from STEM Bridge and will be offered in intensive format 4-5 days per week.

Open Learning: Bridge to Success
Bridge to Success is made possible through a Next Generation Learning Challenge grant awarded to Anne Arundel Community College, the Open University (UK), University of Maryland University College (UMUC) and Massachusetts Institution of Technology (MIT). NGLC is led by EDUCAUSE in partnership with The League for Innovation in the Community College, the International Association of K-12 Online Learning and the Council of Chief State School Officers. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation helped design the Next Generation Learning Challenges and fund the initiative.
