About OER Glue
[image: external image chalkboard.jpg]
OER Glue is a *uniquely open approach* to online learning that lets
content be used where it already resides rather than requiring it to be
copied into a new system. OER Glue can be used to *efficiently assemble
courses* and teach online by “glueing together” open education resources
(OERs) and integrating with popular online services including Google
Documents, Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and discussion and assessment tools.
OER Glue’s web browser add-on approach allows it to wrap context and
navigation tools around online content and to *integrate content and
services from multiple sources in a coherent manner*. In order to ensure
that resources remain available, OER Glue integrates with services such as
internet archive. The following scenarios describe the experience of using
OER Glue:

Key aspects of OER Glue are:
- *Student engagement* – OER Glue increases student engagement and
satisfaction by supporting online instruction that utilizes timely,
authentic content and popular Web 2.0 tools.
- *Instructional effectiveness* – OER Glue supports effective
instruction by helping teachers find and develop learning activities and
assessments that are aligned with their instructional goals.
- *Teacher efficiency* – OER Glue helps teachers efficiently assemble,
deliver, and update online courses.
- *OER* – OER Glue helps authors easily find and adapt relevant high
quality free online resources for their courses.
- *Glue* – People are frustrated with the poor user experience of
existing systems that require you to copy your content into them, but
enthusiastic about the new Web 2.0 tools that continue to emerge. OER Glue
lets you use content where it already is and to easily integrate third
party
tools in a coherent manner to teach online.

Glue, is a entrepreneur and software developer with a love for designing
software and understanding how people learn. Joel enjoys scheming about how
to design and leverage software systems and online content to encourage
youth to engage in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Joel
blogs http://www.joelduffin.com/ about technology and STEM education.
*Justin Ball*, CTO of OER Glue, is an entrepreneur with several
successful startups and one major failure under his belt. He became involved
in the OER space under the direction of David Wiley at OSLO and then COSL
and participated in the construction of the various projects generated
there. He used to write C++ and .Net then moved to python and finally found
Ruby. In the rare moments when he isn't writing code, talking about code or
measuring his code productivity in profanity per hour, you can find him on
his bike in the mountains or on the roads surrounding Cache Valley. Justin
