Transcript of the OER Engagement Ladder
OER Engagement Study:Promoting OER reuse among academics
Joanna Wild
The Open University 12th June 2012
Motivation for the study
OER impact study Research focus:
1. How do institutions, departments, individuals go about raising teachers’ engagement with OER reuse?
2. What are the providers of ‘OER training’ trying to achieve and how can they tell that they’ve been successful?
• What is the optimal engagement with OER reuse in view of different stakeholders and what are the intermediate steps?
• How can engagement be sustained/nurtured?
What I did
Qualitative & exploratory Semi-structured
interviews with:• Providers of OER
initiatives (10)• Teachers (5)• Teachers with a
staff development role within their faculty (4)
OER engagement ladder
Data analysis: techie
Data analysis: old school
What are the approaches?
Who are the main stakeholders?
Making OER an integral part of existing inst. strategies We wrote OER into our teaching and learning strategy a couple
of years ago Open Education was set as the priority for the year…
Getting buy-in of senior management in individual faculties Impetus from central L&T teams
…we had representatives from each faculty that liaise directly with the centreor
Impetus from individual teachers
Lots of bottom-up activities… …but don’t rely solely on bottom-up initiatives ( fragmented)
If the buy-in to use OER is not high enough in your institution, engagement gets to a certain point and then it just becomes something that individuals are doing
Making OER integral to existing systems and services When you have a top-down person telling people to do it, they
kick against it, whereas having people that are trusted saying: ‘Have a go with that!’ - that's more beneficial
Key stakeholders: People supporting module teams Academic Librarians Learning technologists (e-learning teams) Staff responsible for implementing graduate attributes Staff developers
PG Cert in HE
I think the advantage of the PGCert is starting to catch every new member staff coming in
CPD etc.
…Sustainability is talking about OER in all the other workshops
What is the optimal engagement with OER reuse
and what are the intermediate steps?
How can engagement be sustained/nurtured?

A good metaphor?
It is a ladder and it’s a steep ladder sometimes
I quite liked the idea of doing this like that […] I don’t see it a sort of neat move up the ladder thing, it's more of you get so far and then you suddenly realise: ‘Oh, so this is why!’Original image geezaweezer cc by;

‘It benefited others’!I knew about the cc license but I kind of put it at the back of my mind and it wasn’t that important. And it’s when I went to the workshop that I realised: Actually it is important!

Is involved in (re)designing a course …it all seemed a bit of a
blind panic at the beginning: ‘how I am going to write all of this?’ So when they introduced us to OER, then I thought: ‘oh that's great!’
Enabling factors: We invite people to
reconsider their practices at the stage of designing their course and consider alternatives that include OER

Appraises the effects of using OER on students’ learning experience and own practice We’ll wait and see how the new
module goes on a course
Shares own OER I now always go for images that
are labelled for reuse and have CC license […] because I never know when I might want to upload it somewhere and share it.
it's only at that stage in which you begin to make sure everything is fairly attributed

Does OER lead to a better practice? I think it does, just because of the dialogue around it
OER is embedded into teachers’ every-day practice It becomes your second nature The more confident you feel with
it the more you use it

Is aware
“It’s early days” but: It’s when I went to the
workshop that I realised: actually [cc license] is important
I think it was one of the most important things, the reassurance that it’s an appropriate way of doing things
I do know where to find them It’s made me much more
open to actually trying to find things and embedding them into the programme
A part of [the course] is available freely to other people
We’ll wait and see how the new module goes on a course
It’s ok

Recommendations in brief Embed OER into existing systems and
services but follow up with targeted support
Identify champions within the department andcapitalise on their enthusiasm & knowledge
Engage staff developers, librarians, LT-ists: build a network of support
Collect evidence & examples Recognition = Time & Space to experiment
