Section 1 - Open Education Resources - Data Structures
About the OER:
This OER is a collection of video and Assessment questions using
moodle cloud. The course is designed into three sections.
1. Basic Data Structures
2. Sorting and Searching
3. Trees and Graphs
Each part of the course has a separate Assessment Quiz and a
final one at the end of the entire course.
· The OER is accessible from
https://oer201x.moodlecloud.com/login/index.php
· Target Audience : The Second Year students Computer Science
and IT Discipline
· Tags: OER, Data Structure, FDP, 201x, Linked List, Stack,
Queue, Sorting, Searching, Trees, Graphs
· OER is developed in moodlecloud.
· The OER is protected by the creative commons license
Learning Objectives:
The user after accessing the course

Section 2 : Design Decisions
Nature of Decisions Taken:
For the preparation of the OER, the following decisions were
need to be done
1. Decisions based on Content
2. Decisions based on the pedagogic value of the content
3. Decisions on the technology used for the OER
Decisions based on Content:
These decisions were basically about what should be included and
what should be avoided. It was decided to have three sections,
which basically were about the basic data structures, Advanced data
Structures and non-data structure elements that were present. The
reference curriculum were from the TCE and anna university were
data structure classes were available for second year Students.
Decisions Based on the Pedagogic value of the Content:
The pedagogic value of a course is basically about flip
classrooms. These contents are based for the out of the classroom
activities. A student is expected to go through these contents
before he comes to the class. After he attends the class. he is
expected to attend the assessments in the course.
Decisions on the Technology Used for OER:
For creating video courses, a recording software was necessary.
It was decided to use screen - o -cast and also camstudio for
recording them. The Assessment was decided to be made as part of
the moodle cloud. Moodle Cloud was used for hosting the course
contents. Also videos and other documents were uploaded to the OER
home page in wordpress.

Lesson Settings:
The course has been designed for moodlecloud. The screenshots
that follow are the step by step procedures on setting up the
course. The procedures are self explanatory. The topic of the
screenshots depict the process.

How to Use this OER:
· The OER can be accessed in the above mentioned link
· The User has to register for the course under the self
enrollment option.
· Once the user is registered, a email will be sent to
authenticate the user.
· The user after authenticating the login, has to enroll in the
course\
· Once the user is enrolled in the course, all the contents of
the course is accessible to the user.
Best Practices with Lesson Activity:
· Provide information before ample time.
· Provide the students enough time to complete the course.
Section 4: Evaluating Effectiveness with OER
The effectiveness of the OER has to be based on two aspects
1. Students Perspective
2. Teachers Perspective
Students Perspective:
The students are expected to attend the course and also get
benefitted from this course. The benefit level of students can be
measured by the marks they score in the assessments. There are
multiple assessment for each course and a final assessment for the
entire course. These assessments will give a perspective of the
student understanding each course and the entire course as a
whole.
Teachers Perspective:
The teachers who use this course can also be evaluated by the
assessment that is available. Also when a user download the entire
course material, then the faculty can be asked to comment on the
blog and these comments can be used for evaluating.\
