Developing Latin American OERs

Empire State College

Description:

While working with OERs, I have developed a method of implementation called the DAURAS approach (i.e. whenever using OERs, you shoul always follow this order of creation to implementation--Develop, Apply, Use, Re-Use, Assess, Share or DAURAS). I have presented this approach in the COTE series and have written an article and two COTE NOTES about how to effectively implement OERs into classroom assignments. I have included a link to the article here and include the COTE link above:

I would suggest implementing the DAURAS approach that I created and wrote about in the COTE NOTE: Part 2 (i.e. whenever using OERs, you should always follow this order of creation to implementation--Develop, Apply, Use, Re-Use, Assess, Share
Also, always ask for help from others in the field!

Additional Metrics:

My practices have worked out very well. Faculty at my college regularly come to me to ask suggestions about ways to develop OERs. This term I have been working with a few colleagues in a course where I have taught faculty to create short screencasts in ScreenCastomatic to teach their lesson. I have included an example here from my lecture on Powerlessness and Empowerment:

Some of my other practices are included in my two COTE chat write ups (i.e. COTE NOTES). Please see information here: http://cotecommunity.open.suny.edu/group/oermethods-examples
