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
