As a teacher, I create material in abundance, and by my moral standards, it's not mine. I ultimately create material for the students and the employer. That's why I think materials should be shared.
How do you define OER?
As a teacher, I create material in abundance, and by my moral standards, it's not mine. I ultimately create material for the students and the employer. That's why I think materials should be shared.
I don't lose anything by sharing, on the contrary, I gain a lot of feedback.
What are advantages/disadvantages of OER?
The publishers are bound quite differently. I also understand that they have a program and have to satisfy their authors and editors. But we are not so bound, we are much freer.
It's a funny thought not to publish something until it's perfect. That's not the point. I publish something when I think it's good and use it in class. Through feedback I can then improve it further, but perfect things don't exist.
You don't always have to reinvent the wheel. As a teacher, I look at things every day, take out what I need, put it together. You take something existing and adapt it to your needs.
