Educational Resources
• Something useful for teaching and
learning?
• Something designed with pedagogic intent?
• I shall be talking (mostly) about online educational resources.

Open = Free
Open educational resources: Second, we call on educators, authors, publishers and institutions to release their resources openly. These open educational resources should be freely shared through open licences which facilitate use, revision, translation, improvement and sharing by anyone. Resources should be published in formats that facilitate both use and editing, and that accommodate a diversity of technical platforms. Whenever possible, they should also be available in formats that are accessible to people with disabilities and people who do not yet have access to the Internet.

Why not?
• (online) Educational resources are not “consumed”, you don’t lose them when you “give them away”.
• Students don’t pay HW for content.

• OCW is not an MIT education.
• OCW does not grant degrees or certificates.
• OCW does not provide access to MIT faculty.
• Materials may not reflect entire content of the course.
