Open Educational Resources: Terri Rowenhorst http://vss2009.wikispaces.com/rowenhurst [|www.hippocampus.org] NROC How to make a difference by sharing open curriculum resources Thinking about content in different way, available for teachers to make differences Creative Commons – copyright in public domain – free use or repurposing by others

OER – full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks Streaming video, audio, text, software, tools, or techniques Behind all of this movement - Used to support access to knowledge · NROC - Openly viewable at public sites · Connextions project from Rice – has development tools included · MIT project – who could more proprietary about intellectual property – courses online to allow students to see what they could expect – marketing tool · MERLOT Project – voluntarily link to resources that has been created, evaluate and rate, 15% is peer-reviewed (referatory) · WISC Online – career prep, health materials (repository) · Carnegie-Mellon – OpenLearn Project – College of Education – tracking modules included so data is gathered on progress OER are legitimate uses of ARRA funds OER free so why doesn’t everyone use it? Teacher acceptance, copyright, transition time and process Teachers has just so much time to search for OER, search online time-consuming NROC – bridges gap between college and high school, also credit recovery Hippocampus.org – go ahead and link, site meant for access by everyone, STEM disciplines Working with Univ of Guadalajara for Spanish translations Mini-sites: thumbnails of images and blogs from teachers with links to other resources NROC Modeling sharing with other resources so check out Career Forward? Text equivalents are available in 2 tabs Feedback area for revisions, update 2 X each year Add link to add to Moodle course (teach from text, add link, then assignment asks what learned from add-in) Google analytics, but don’t track students. Idea is to keep everything open, open, open Being a member allows for full integration, careful to remember that if not a member, changes not always available, use as resource unless member $1 million dollars to develop Algebra I course!!!! NROCnetwork.org to see development of course $5 million dollars to for Developmental Math NROC Network – meet to discuss new courses, changes, etc.
