Open Educational Resources (OER) are digitized teaching, learning and research materials that are free for use and reuse by the global public. OER’s unique licensing rights allow resources to used, reused, adapted, and shared in an unprecedented way. MSU’s OER working teams have adapted several open source software products to international outreach activities. Our infrastructure builds on the Drupal CMS, Nutch for search and included collaborations with Creative Commons on projects like DiscoverEd. Members from our project teams will provide a window into how we’ve applied these open systems to real-world development problems and explain how our approach has evolved.
This presentation was presented at the e-Cornucopia.2011: The Open Digital University Conference at Oakland University on May 26th, 2011. The Presentation is available for view below.
