My stay with the Open University in June 2010
Location
The Moscow-based UNESCO Institute for Information Technologies in Education (IITE) has launched a project aimed at promoting OER movement within the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Baltic States. Basic components of the project, I am in charge of, are identifying opportunities and needs, exploring policy options, and capacity-building in the production and use of OER in CIS countries and Baltic States. To support the efficient design of the project, under the OLnet Expert Fellowship I focused my research on the major problems concerned with the production and use of OER: quality, the effectiveness of use and sustainability, as well as copyright and open content licensing issues (to the extent they are applicable within the copyright laws existing in CIS).

How to... OER

New OER initiatives are popping out throughout the world. It is often the case that institutions are looking for answers on how to get started as OER providers, and how to get their staff and students involved in the process. Today I am in a meeting with some Dutch universities, which are either already offering content online or considering joining the OCW movement. The questions they ask and discuss in the meeting are, in my view, very relevant for any institution contemplating offering OER. These are:

These times might include occasions such as a long car journey, when you are off jogging or waiting at a bus stop.
