Task 3: Cascade Plan

 

This plan has been devised by Craig and myself in order to assist with the cascade of OERs in a HE in FE environment. The plan has been drawn up at http://prezi.com/ylyxr5blfdul/cascade-of-oers 

 

We seek to illustrate the evolving nature of OERs and see the process as consisting of several important and related links. It is hoped that the opportunities provided by the vast range of free resources will encourage tutors to engage with the process but the lack of time colleagues have to search jorum etc has already been seen to be a problem. Therefore to encourage engagement we feel something more is needed and are therefore creating a staff development programme called 'Creativity for Edupunks'. This is intended to be a 33 hour course that staff at UCBC are allowed to take in order to claim remission from their teaching load and we hope we acquire senior management approval to run it from September 2011. The course will be primarily on line and will enable colleagues to become both OER consumers and producers. Intended specific topics will include:

- explanations of how the different Creative Commons licences are applied to learning resources

understanding of OERs and the concept of “openness”

- their acquisition for teaching, research and curriculum design purposes

- contemporary pedagogy concerning the gap between research and teaching

- the narrowing of gaps between ‘standard’ HE students and those in HE in FE

- applied examples of innovative assessment possibilities

 

If the course is successful we intend to seek validation for it to become a level 4, 15 credit option module for all UCBC students.

 

We see 'Creativity for Edupunks' as providing the necessary OER engagement and reflection and the final stage of our cascade plan involves the public display of the resources and their production, from both lecturers and students, feeds back into the process.
