I agree with the questions here. I would only add the question:

1.  is the contents of the OER in line with the focus of the lesson or course?

2. . Are the illustration meaningful and clear, for the level of the learner?

3. Can all my learners access it ? if not can I transform it into a format that learners learn with best?

2. Can it be easily accessed and modified?

4. Are the resources quality assured?

Don't forget, providing an OER in another language is an adaptation, so not impossible! I will agree with you though that translating a large collection of OER can be quite an undertaking!

Collaboration between colleagues and / or schools and / or establishments can be the way forward.

Again, a good list of questions is emerging. I wonder which four will be at the top of the list in four weeks' time!

Four questions student teachers should be encouraged to ask to critically review OER that they find:

1. Is it findable; i.e. can it be in multiple locations, making it easy to locate?

2. Is it clearly described, so that it can be quickly assessed whether it will be useful for the teacher learners?

3. Is it clearly licensed, which tells if the OER can be adapted and other conditions of use?

4. Is it from a source you trust?

Q 1.  is the contents of the OER educative?

Q 2. To what extent is it educative?

Q 3. Are the links provided appropriate to the learning content?

Q 4. Are the illustration meaningful and clear, what those it illustrate?

I agree Paul, making sure the OER links well to the intended learning is vital. Although perhaps also encouraging student teachers to look for an element within an OER that is relevant or to find new ways to connect the content to the intended learning could also be valuable.

Thanks Jacqueline. You are right that understanding the range of available OER and how they are allowed to use them is really important.

Might you also ask them something about how they judge the quality or relevance of an OER?

Are the OERs  accessible, in terms of format - print, CDs, multimedia etc.?

Are they relevant to the needs?

Are the OERs of good quality?

Does the OER license make it easy to modify without hassles- CC-BY-SA?

Thank you for this Felicia. I especially like the one about adapting to local needs and the opportunity to assess the impact of the OER by looking at the students' outcomes- what a good idea!

Prof Francis, lovely presentation

I am interested in your last 2 questions. I love that you appeared to look at this from the point of view of both teacher and trainee?

Activity 4.3: Reviewing OER repositories

In reference to this activity 4.3 these are my 4 questions that I’d ask my teacher trainees to consider while analyzing a given website in groups:

  • How easy is it to locate the website?
  • How quick it to assess whether the website  will be useful for you?
  • Is the site clearly licensed (usually through Creative Commons), and does it indicate if you can adapt the OER and other conditions of use?
  • used/recommended by people like you
  • Can this website work for you?
