: Week 2 - 'Creating OERs' - so...why?
Re: Week 2 - 'Creating OERs' - so...why?
by Gina Bennett ◀ 		Another reason for those of us in the public education system is 'accountability'. In most cases, we get paid with public funds to develop educational materials. Shouldn't the public then benefit from these materials? If we are sharing them with our fellow provincial citizens, why not share them more widely? Honestly: do we really believe that by locking our educational resources within the province (as if this could be done), that we will increase our competitive advantage? questions Hilda Anggraeni ◀

by Gerry Paille ◀ 		I am also wondering if these times of economic restraint might be a deterrent to open and freely available content? What are people seeing happening to their budgets for creating and revising materials/courses? questions Hilda Anggraeni ◀
Re: Week 2 - 'Creating OERs' - so...why?
by Gina Bennett ◀ 		Sometimes these have to be paid & paid again for every single student who uses them, every single time they are used. Doesn't this seem a little crazy to you? Wouldn't it be FAR more efficient, making better use of taxpayers' money, if we were legally allowed & institutionally encouraged to build on existing resources, using our precious time to update, contextualize, & even translate if necessary questions Hilda Anggraeni ◀

by bronwyn hegarty ◀ 		I wonder, how do people believe they can convince their colleagues to make a switch to creating open resources and what sort of issues do they see with managers in their organisations? questions Hilda Anggraeni ◀
