Hi Everyone, The OERu is launching the next mOOC its series of free courses building capacity for open education practice following the success of Open Content Licensing for Educators course.
Registrations for the inaugural course offering of Digital skills for collaborative OER development <http://oeru.org/oeru-partners/otago-polytechnic/digital-skills-for-collaborative-oer-development/>are now open. We acknowledge the funding support from the New Zealand National Commission for Unesco which has made this development possible. *Dates*: 13 April to 1 May 2015 *Cost*: Free *Registration*: Online <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mNFFA-mWsNr94WD209kqi7VyCwIh9BB7_cLUXqgBdPk/viewform> (Note that registration is not required to access the course materials. The course materials are being developed openly and transparently in WikiEducator as we speak. However, if you would like to receive course announcements via email you will need to register.) In this course you will learn how to: - Source images, rich media and open access materials on the Internet suitable for remix. - Properly attribute these resources for digital redistribution. - Develop wiki skills for the collaborative development of OER within a live international wiki community. - Develop a design blueprint and storyboard for an OER learning sequence drawing on your inventory of OER for remix of materials for your own context. - Participate in open collaborative design and development activities. - Publish your own OER course website. This is an ambitious prototype because we will be trialling the ability for course participants to publish a collection of wiki pages developed collaboratively on their own WordPress site as an alternative to using conventional learning management systems. The OERu technical working group has been working hard at improving the look and feel of content authored in the wiki with particular attention to responsive design for mobile devices. Of course, these developments have implications for how we design learning materials and that is the point of this open course. Together, we will learn about open design using a learn-by-doing approach within a global wiki community. I hope you can join us and help us to refine the prototype version for future iterations.
