Web 2_0 affordances for OERs

Page history last edited by Anna Gruszczynska 13 years, 10 months ago

At the outset of the project, the project team has developed an overview of features of Web 2.0 platforms with a view to using some of them as repositories (in addition to JorumOpen). This page pulls together information about Web 2.0 resources relevant to C-SAP OER project.

Rice University platform – very US-centric, possible questions about long-term sustainability

None stated

Some material seems to be password protected (you get directed to a closed VLE etc)

A lot of material deposited without teaching notes – an option to add “learning exercises” not used often; based at California State University

All content freely available

Very heavily OU-oriented (and student-centric); When resources have been remixed it is often impossible to tell whose contribution it was
