Why and why now?
![Page 10: Introduction to Contributing to OER](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54985396b47959a7498b49f3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why now for institutions?• Increase institutional visibility, advancing competitiveness,
attracting students and resources• Promote effective social responsiveness• Improve learning experience by selecting materials in
pedagogically sound and innovative ways• Improve recruitment by helping the right students find the
right programmes• Enhance teaching coherence across courses• Ensure better long-term archiving, curation and reuse of
teaching materials• Attract alumni as life-long learners
![Page 11: Introduction to Contributing to OER](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54985396b47959a7498b49f3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why now for individuals?
• Profile teaching as well as research• Create record of teaching for teaching portfolio• Foster connections between other colleagues,
departments and even other universities (especially cross-disciplinary studies)
• Increase impact of teaching materials• Extend use of teaching materials to high school
learners and life-long learners

What OER has done for UCT
• Still early days but there are signs that our OpenContent site is:– Become part of the OER world– Increasing visibility or materials– Increasing access to materials for other groups –
schools and the community – Improving curation of digital teaching materials– Attracting students (alerted through our feedback
form)– Starting conversations about collaboration

Practicalities of Contributing to Open Educational Resources
Developing Open Educational Practice
Michael Paskevicius
![Page 19: Introduction to Contributing to OER](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54985396b47959a7498b49f3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Difference between "online content" and "open content" (OER)• Much of the content we interact on a daily basis
is online, but that does not necessarily make it open.
• Truly OpenContent can be: – Reused – Revised – Remixed – Redistributed
(Wiley, 2009)
![Page 20: Introduction to Contributing to OER](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54985396b47959a7498b49f3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

• The UCT OpenContent directory hosts openly licensed teaching and learning resources created by academics and students at UCT
o Instructional websiteso Handbooks & guideso Image Collectionso Open textbooks o Presentations o Vula sites o Podcasts
