You can create your own (blog) site on [http://Wordpress.com. Wordpress]. If you would like to upload all your OER in a single place to make it available to others, this is a good option. [http://Wordpress.com. Wordpress] is a simple software for you to manage your web content.

You can also edit the relevant pages in Wikipedia, to add your own contribution if the page is already existing. In case the page does not exist in Wikipedia, you can create the page as well, this is the way this encyclopedia has grown to be the most referred to encyclopedia. This is even more relevant if you are creating an OER in a language other than English. Most languages of the world are not well represented on Wikipedia (see [https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias List of Wikipedias]), especially languages spoken in the developing countries. You will need to follow the editing guidelines of Wikipedia. Since Wikipedia is a very popular encyclopedia, if you could regularly contribute your OER to Wikipedia, it would be useful to many others.

[[Category:Teachers' toolkit for creating and re-purposing OER using FOSS]]

Revision as of 10:13, 27 February 2017

The power of OER is in its re-use by others, creating a rich learning environment. You benefit from OER, by being able to access a variety of resources for your various learning and teaching needs. Likewise, it is important for you to publish the OER you create or re-purpose, so that it is available to others (for re-use or re-purposing), to sustain a virtuous cycle of receiving-giving.

It is also important for you to access existing OER, revise them to make them more valuable (by improving their accuracy and comprehensiveness, by contextualising them, by translating them etc), such re-purposing will make it easier for others to get OER that they want.

You can publish your OER in popular OER repositories, some of which have been mentioned earlier in this toolkit.

Publishing text OER

You can create your own (blog) site on Wordpress. If you would like to upload all your OER in a single place to make it available to others, this is a good option. Wordpress is a simple software for you to manage your web content.

There are many OER repositories for uploading your text resources. Slideshare is a popular web site where you can upload your presentation slides and text documents. Academia.edu is another repository for sharing your text OER. WikiEducator is a repository specially for sharing educational content.

You can contribute your content to Wikipedia. In case the page does not exist in Wikipedia, you can create the page as well, this is the way this encyclopedia has grown to be the most referred to encyclopedia. You can edit the relevant page in Wikipedia, if it page is already existing. Contributing to Wikipedia is even more important if you are creating an OER in a language other than English. Most languages of the world are not well represented on Wikipedia (see List of Wikipedias), especially languages spoken in the developing countries. Since Wikipedia is a very popular encyclopedia, if you could regularly contribute your OER to Wikipedia, it would be useful to many others. You will need to follow the editing guidelines of Wikipedia.

As mentioned, you should publish in formats that are open and easier to edit. Hence you should prefer an ODT over a PDF format (editable v/s non-editable) for publishing a text document. Again you should prefer an ODT over a DOCX format (open v/s closed formats)

Publishing image OER

Image OER can be uploaded on Wikimedia commons. Other options include Flickr

Publishing audio and video OER

Audio OER can be uploaded on Soundcloud

Video OER can be uploaded on Youtube. You should ensure to select the Creative Commons license when you upload your video OER, to ensure that it is available freely to others.

COL - Specifying CC license for video uploaded on Youtube.png

Vimeo is another popular site for uploading OER videos

The table below provides the web spaces available for you to publish your OER.

No Category Site for publishing OER on-line

2 Text OER – Presentations Slideshare
3 Image OER Wikimedia commons
4 Audio OER Soundcloud
5 Video OER Youtube, Vimeo

Note

  1. Before uploading your OER, you will need to register or create a login id on the site
  2. You need to ensure that you have not used any non-open (copyright) materials in making your OER.

  1. Some of the large-scale repositories created through the OER movement include
  2. OpenCourseWare,
  3. OER Commons,
