  • Skill/Objective
  • Success Indicators
  • Introduction

  • Review questions
  • Resources

Fast fact

Learning objects are:

  • Web-based, self-contained, small chunks of learning
  • small enough to be embedded in a learning activity, lesson, unit or course
  • flexible, portable, and adaptable, and can be used in multiple learning environments and across disciplines

Skills/objectives

Learners will be able to:

  • Identify resources for locating OER in their own teaching disciplines.
  • Develop a lesson plan using a discipline-specific OER.

Success indicators

  • Lesson plan developed which uses OER.

Introduction

In addition to simply searching for Public Domain Materials on the Web , a number of OER and learning object repositories of on the internet provide a means to search for learning materials by topic and academic subject matter. The Center for International Education at UW-Milwaukee provides a thorough list of learning object repositories .

Other repositories include:

Other discipline-specific sources of OER include:

Archeology

Art history

Computer science

Economics

French

Health

History

Literature

Math

Philosophy

Physics

Political science

Psychology

Science

Sociology

Spanish

Activity

Experience

  • Find learning materials in your teaching discipline at each of the following repositories. Note whether or not a review or rating of the learning materials is available.

Reflect

Complete one of the following reflection activities:

  • Join MERLOT , identify learning materials in your teaching discipline, then add an assignment to a learning object or review a learning object.
  • Join OER Commons , then make your own posting to the OER Matters Discussions area. Click on OER Matters Localization Forum to answer the following question:

"Participate in discussions about how open education content is localized and how the creation of OER facilitates or impedes making content be context-specific. How is content localized at the individual, school, cultural, and national level, and what are the benefits?"

Apply

  • Identify the most useful sources of OER for use in your teaching discipline.
  • Develop a lesson plan using these discipline-specific sources. Post your lesson plan to MERLOT

Review questions

  • What is a learning object?
  • What are the most useful sources of OER in your teaching discipline?
  • What criteria can be used to assess the usefulness of these OERs?

What is different between quantity demand and demand?
Shukri Reply
Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p

suppose the production function is given by ( L, K)=L¼K¾.assuming capital is fixed find APL and MPL. consider the following short run production function:Q=6L²-0.4L³ a) find the value of L that maximizes output b)find the value of L that maximizes marginal product
