Abstract:
Distance learning institutions intending to reuse Open Educational Resources (OER) for development of course materials need to orient and train course writers in basic understanding about OER, open licencing, and skills related to findability and reuse of OER. Reuse means adopting or adapting with minimal changes one or two existing OERs or identifying and integrating a number of OER multimedia materials to suit curricular needs. With training, experience and support from an OER search team the OER integration process could be more cost/time efficient. This paper reports on a case study integrating OER materials to develop a new course.
