Frame of reference

Open Educational Practices (OEP)

Open Educational Practices (OEP) are a set ofactivities around instructional design and implementation ofevents and processes intended to support learning. They

also include the creation, use and repurposing of Open

Educational Resources (OER) and their adaptation to thecontextual setting

Educational Quality Initiative", retrieved at 23 February, 2011 from http://oer-quality.org/

Academic knowledge mobilization

To move forward in the creation and sharing of knowledgerepresented as open educational resources (OER), it isimportant to recognize and properly document the use andthe type of knowledge being generated in educationalinstitutions (i.e. courses, articles, lectures, documentation,

research, etc).

Open educational practices (OEP) may help us makeevident the use we are giving to OER, this through the

documentation of teaching methodologies and strategies,learning activities, study cases and any other forms ofpresenting evidences of use of OER through thesocialization of educational experiences.



5/28


The idea with open educational practices (OEP) is to identify(document) the activities of how educators are using OER intheir daily practice for education or research.



6/28


We need to foster the value of use of existing knowledge in the process

of sharing, assimilation and application of focused knowledge to specificneeds.

temoa.info A portal that selects OER from the Internet so that educators

everywhere may improve their courses and educational practices. Selection of OER is done by an Academic Community, so they could

be easy to find and easy to adopt by other educators.

Why temoa.info?The catalog was conceived in 2007 at theinitiative of Dr. Rafael Rangel Sostmann,President of Tecnolgico de Monterrey(1985-2010), who proposed at the WorldEconomic Forum (WEF) in Davos,

Switzerland in the Global UniversityLeaders Forum (GULF) the creation of aninternational knowledge base to ease thediscoverability for Open EducationalResources (OER) available on theInternet.

10/28

Why temoa.info? There are many higher education institutions and

associated organizations from around the world creating abroad and deep body of open educational content using ashared model (i.e. OCWC, iTunes U) and there is a need

for effective mechanisms to give visibility to this OERs.

It is very time consuming for educators to find valuableeducational resources by navigating through full courses orweb sites in a completely different navigation experience.

Professors tend to design their own courses using theirresources enriched with resources from others.



11/28

Benefits of temoa.info? Allows Faculty to enrich their courses with OER in a more

efficient way Cost reduction during course design. Selected resources by educators.

Present to learners a variety of educational resources. Experience different cultures, regions, points of view. Experience different learning styles. Experience different media types.

Enable sharing of teaching practices. Users can participate and share their experiences with others.
