OERs as Re-Usable Learning Objects
• anything that has an educational purpose (McGreal 2004)
• a digital object that is used to achieve pre-determined learning outcomes or educational objectives (Nash 2005)
• “any digital resource that can be reused to support learning” (Wiley, 2000)
OERs as Re-Usable Learning Objects
• Breaking educational material down into modular ‘chunks’ (objects)
• Each object can have its own defining properties tagged
• Combined with other objects, assembled into sequences
Designing for Re-Usability
• Autonomous• Customisable• Accessible
• Sharable• Durable• Interoperable
Hernandez et al (2008) , Moodie and Kunz (2003). Salas and Ellis (2006)
Granularity & Tagging
• Granularity– Content/Information/knowledge object – Lesson
• Tagging– Describing the object using metadata

Re-Usable Resources
Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction : Gain attention ,Inform learners of objectives, Stimulate recall of prior learning’ Present the content. Provide "learning guidance", Elicit performance (practice), Provide feedback, Assess performance, Enhance retention and transfer.
Use and Re-Use of OERs
• Re-use• Rework• Remix• Redistribute
• Freedom to copy;• Freedom to modify;• Freedom to
redistribute;• Freedom to
redistribute modified versions.
Wiley, 2007)
OER Learning Packages• Independent of VLE • Stand alone• Lesson plan format• Learning Outcomes• Presentation of content, specified tasks for guidance
and practice, self assessment, feedback for tasks and guidance on further study or practice
• Re-useable resources• Customisable• Can be easily re-sequenced, repackaged or
amended• Shared through OER website and JORUM
Re-Usable Resources
• Single resource• Pedagogically independent • Variety of formats
– Audio– Video– Text– Animation– Cartoon
• Enhanced Powerpoint used for mini lectures (Adobe presenter)
• Different Types– Information giving– Assessment– Case Stories
• Accessible
