The OER MOOC Reflection

* On the whole the OER program was really a positive learning experience for me. 

* The most engaging part of this course is using Twitter, the micro blogging tool to connect and interact with educators and researchers around the world.  

 * My favorite parts of this course are the learning tools and the instructional design models.

 

 * I would really like to find out more about OERs challenges.

 

* The POERUP webinar discussion is the one I appreciated most.

 

* The task that was most meaningful for me was resolving license issues.

 

* From developing a sample OER related to my field of expertise, I learnt to license my work under the Creative Commons.

* Developing lesson plans was the most beneficial.

 

* I can use the Metadata to easily access resources I need and save my time.

* I'm particularly delighted with peer review and user’s satisfaction to monitor and measure OER success and its relevance.

* I would like to try out mobile learning because it enhances student’s learning anywhere and anytime.

* I'm not sure if all the educational games I learnt about would work in my teaching context because of time restrictions in the curriculum.

* I am doubtful about having the time to read all the tutorials provided at the end of the OER program.

* One aspect of the course I want to follow up on is using digital games for assessment.


* I like the variety and engaging formula of the OER :

animations, audio books, lectures, videos, e-books, free templates, courses, free and interactive technology tools, podcasts, multimedia software, images, games, songs, online quizzes, self-assessment tools, etc.

* The flexibility, personalization and constructive feedback provided are what I liked the most about the OER MOOC. 


* In an ideal world, I would like my students to use tablets.

* One thing I’d recommend to improve this course is sharing the blog links of the participants. Blogs are powerful tools in fostering culture understanding.

Thanks for the golden OER opportunity!
