Difference between "online content" and "open content" (OER)• Much of the content we interact on a daily basis
is online, but that does not necessarily make it open.
• Truly OpenContent can be: – Reused – Revised – Remixed – Redistributed
(Wiley, 2009)

Evaluating the media resources within your resource• Is it protected under copyright law?
• If resource falls under copyright protection, either:
o Recreate the resources using office or online tools
o Replace the resource with a similar resource by finding an open source alternative or by creating your own resource
o Obtain permission from the author, publisher, editor, organization who holds the copyright
o Reconsider if the resource is really necessary?

Zone of Proximal Development
• Transfer of function of awareness to actual development
1. In an interactive situation children can become involved in activities that are more complex than those they could master themselves
2. Joint activity results in the specific function becoming appropriated (internalized) by the child
(Kozulin, 2003)
