Using and Sharing Open Educational 资源

If you have adopted or created open course materials, you will find many reasons to share (not to mention requests to share). Sharing is what the open movement is all about: modifying, 定制, and sharing course materials is at the core of OER work. 

This section outlines some reasons for making your materials discoverable, as well as best practices for making your content as open and available as possible.  

最佳实践

Communicate with the bookstore

Even though you may not be using materials that students have to purchase, the bookstore is often the first place students look for course materials. If you are using open materials, respond to the "Book Order" emails that go out each term from the bookstore and work with them to create an appropriate materials listing.

You can also work with the CMU bookstore to offer optional printed copies of your open materials. 

创建资源列表 

Having all of your open materials in one place is handy for sharing and for reporting your work within your institution. If you use a variety of open resources (articles, 电子书的章节, 视频, 等等)在你的课上, create a document that collects all of the links. 

举办

You will need to have your OER hosted somewhere online for others to find it. At CMU, there are two institutional options:

制度的选择

• OneDrive
• 一个在线 D2L课程外壳 (useful for online or in-person courses)

其他选项

• Host externally on a class wiki or personal website
• 谷歌驱动
