Design Decisions

Three types of design decisions were taken for creation of OER. These are as follows:

1. Pedagogy Decision:Pedagogy decision included:

The first decision was regarding learning pedagogy. For this the team decided to develop an out of class segment with learning videos and various LbD activities associated with those videos. These videos can be used by students to build conceptual understanding about various topics in OB.

Second decision was regarding pedagogy to be used in LbD activities. Team decided to design LbD activities in such a way that would create learning at recall and apply cognitive levels in students.

2. Content Decision: Content decision included:

Deciding on the area in management and topics to be covered under that area. In this the team decided for content development in the organization behaviour and the topics shortlisted were: Perception, Motivation, Learning and Leadership (All Individual behaviour topics).

o Quiz for motivationo Case study for learning o For leadership

3. Technology Decision Technology decision included:

For creating videos, screencast-o-matic was selected as it was easy to use. The videos created with screencast-o-matic were uploaded on youtube with

Section 4Effectiveness of OER

Effectiveness at student level

Effectiveness of OER at student level can be checked for three parameters:

1. Access: Access to videos can be checked through number of views of video in youtube. Access to quiz can be checked through number of attempts of quiz made by students. Moodle shows the complete record of all those who have attempted the quiz.

2. Learning: Learning can be checked through the scores/ grades of students who have attempted the quiz from moodle. In case of Case analysis teacher can grade it and judge the learning from resource. In case of Leadership activity scoring can be done according to the answer key provided in the website.

3. Feedback: A feedback from the students can also be taken through the website about the videos and activities. The feedback survey instrument is as follows:

5-Strongly Agree, 4-Agree, 3-Neutral, 2-Disagree, 1-Strongly Disagree

Statements 5 4 3 2 1

Effectiveness at educator level

To check the effectiveness of OER at educator’s level, we can take feedback from those who have used this OER. This feedback survey can be linked on the website itself, so that whosoever accesses the website for resources can give the feedback. The feedback survey instrument is as follows:

5-Strongly Agree, 4-Agree, 3-Neutral, 2-Disagree, 1-Strongly Disagree

Statements 5 4 3 2 1The resources were easy to access (website, videos and activities)All the links provided in the website are easy to open.The instructions provided for creation of OER are clear.The learning videos are effectiveCoverage of topics is fullThe activities linked to videos are effective and are able to create greater learning among studentsVideos and activities are easy to understand

* To ensure higher number of feedbacks, we can ask email ids of users when they want to access resources. These email ids can be used later on to get the feedback from all those who accessed these resources (students and teachers both).
