2nd Learning Reflection #OCL4Ed- Session 2
I started second session by watching Dr.
David Wiley’s video signpost on OER definition. His career is dedicated to increasing access to educational opportunity
for everyone around the world. I would like to say thank to him for his valuable
contribution of our success and to build educational society all over. He
refers to
the 4 R's -reuse, revise, remix and redistribute and free access of content.
With the 21st
century digital freedom for teachers and educators would vastly improve the
quality and quantity of content used in schools, universities and learning
institutions etc. Content free from license restrictions would allow for
us specially educators, students and self-learners to constantly improve existing
resources, and share in the benefits collectively. People who want to
learn or doing research can get this valuable additional information or
learning materials.
Students/Learners anywhere in the world can access
OERs at any time, and they can access the material any time as they wish. The
use of OERs instead of using textbooks or library can substantially reduce the
cost of course for the students/research people. Students can get additional
viewpoints and materials that may help them to succeed. During this session, I got to know the important and helpful OER may be in
a student and teachers' perspective.
