Reflect on Your Open Educational Resources (OER) Learning
Estimated time to complete: 1 hour
Congratulations! This is the last week of the Go Open, Go Free Using OER Flipped Learning. Through this series, you have worked hard, participated in activities designed to further your knowledge and practice in adopting OER and contributed to the OER community by sharing your work. Just because the workshop series is coming to and end, doesn't mean your work is. We hope you will continue working to adopt OER materials, revising them and remixing them, then sharing them with others.
Findings from studies such as Learning by Thinking: Overcoming the Bias for Action Through Reflection, "one of the critical components of learning is reflection or the intentional attempt to synthesize, abstract, and articulate" (Di Stefano, 2014:1) the learning experience. Reflection can powerfully enhance the learning process. So, this week, we will focus on reflection writing or sharing to enhance the learning experienced over the last six weeks.
Write a reflection, create a video, design an narrated screencast, develop a website, or choose another way of sharing your reflections of your OER learning experience.
Respond to What? So What? Now What?
What? What happened? What did you do? What did you expect and what was different?
So What? Why does that matter? To you? To your students? To the college? To society as a whole? Describe your experience in looking for an openly licensed item in your subject area. What is your impression on the process of finding OER in your subject area?
Now what? What will you do differently? What have you learned? Are you committed to the OER movement? What will you do to further OER?
Share your reflection by posting it in Laulima. Since this workshops series was all about "education is sharing" some of your reflections may be used in our blog posting to share the learning that occurred.
Before we send you off into the OER world, here is a short (20 minute) overview of the OER Initiative at both Leeward CC and at the UHCC level. We invite you to join us in the OER movement at both Leeward CC and at the system level.
Due before class on Tues. 3/15
