Knowledge of OERs
Thanks to subsidies from the Open and Online Education Incentive Scheme, many projects have been developed for OERs and online education. In addition to these projects, much knowledge has been gained and developed into products or services. This page presents a collection of developments for OERs.
Roadmap for OERs
Drawing on all the knowledge generated by the OERs pillar, SURF has joined forces with educational institutions to encourage the sharing and reuse of OERs. To get started, various step-by-step plans have been developed. You will find them all on the page Starting with OERs.
Introduction to OERs
The Getting to Know Open Educational Resources module provides information on sharing, reusing and developing or collecting OERs. The module is specially designed for lecturers, support staff and teacher communities to get started.
Step-by-step plan for developing and sharing educational resources yourself
You develop educational resources that colleagues inside and outside your institution can benefit from. Then you also want to share them openly so that they can inspire your entire community. Read how to do this in the step-by-step plan Developing your own educational resources and sharing them openly.
Roadmap for Open Educational Resources Policy
The Open Educational Resources Policy step-by-step plan helps you formulate a policy for sharing and reusing OERs within and outside your institution.
Roadmap for an OER professional community
If you create, share, and reuse OERs, collaboration with other lecturers is very important. Collaboration is made easier in an active professional community. The step-by-step plan for an OER community allows you to build an OER community.
Step-by-step plan Quality model for OERs
Are you working together to build a collection of OERs? Then make sure that the educational resources are of good quality and meet the right criteria. Use the Quality Model Road map when establishing, implementing and maintaining the quality of OERs.
Vocabulary roadmap
Do you work in a training association, professional association or professional community and do you want to make educational resources available from this partnership? Then make sure that the digital educational resources are easy to find. The Vakvocabulaire step-by-step plan helps you do this.
Roadmap for workshop development
Do you want to speed up the adoption of OERs within your institution? Do you want to help lecturers really get started? With the Development Workshop Roadmap you can set up an online workshop to inspire lecturers and help them gain experience. The workshop is also for support staff.
Roadmap: Create your open textbook!
Do you want to publish an open textbook within higher education? The Zone Towards Digital (Open) Educational Resources developed a step-by-step plan for creating an open textbook. It contains good practices, instructions for and expertise on publishing open textbooks.
Use cases Open Educational Resources pillar
The projects from the Open Educational Resources pillar that took part in the Open and Online Education Scheme can be found on this page.
ShareStats: a professional community and an open environment for statistics in one
Statistics is an important but also difficult subject in social sciences programmes. Students want to practise a lot, which means lecturers have a lot of work to do. Four universities took the initiative to join forces and create an open environment for statistics assignments.
VR makes preparing and practising labs lifelike
Students often find chemistry labs exciting. A lot can go wrong, resulting in quite high costs and safety risks. Together with the RUG, WUR developed a virtual chemistry lab to let students first practice virtually with virtual reality glasses in preparation for physical labs.
Nursing students learn clinical reasoning with videos and interaction
How do you teach nursing students clinical reasoning? How do you bring them into contact with situations at home, in the nursing home, hospital or at the GP? Context is important for interpreting a situation. Utrecht University of applied sciences and Fontys developed video-based materials thanks to the Open and Online Education Incentive Scheme.
The subject community circular economy only got rolling by finding a common goal
Five universities of applied sciences set up a subject community within the field of circular economy. Within the project, they wanted to jointly gain experience in sharing and further developing educational resources. After some start-up problems and eventually a renewed project proposal, the subject community developed a MOOC.
Realistic cases from real companies
To get to the heart of the data analysis subject, as a lecturer you want students to be able to work with realistic data. Saxion University of applied sciences developed a MOOC on Business Analytics in which students can get to work practically with fictitious data from real companies.
Subject community Urban Resilience teaches students to look through the lens of resilience
Four Dutch technical universities have built a platform for future generations of engineers. The 4TU project Urban Resilience in Delta Regions led to a vibrant subject community that collects and develops open educational resources on urban resilience. The pioneering work required a lot of resilience of its own.
Subject community Information Literacy sets its own example with edusources
Library staff at educational institutions support lecturers in sharing educational resources. The professional community Information Literacy, in which librarians are united, also shares its own educational resources. Harrie van der Meer, chairman of the subject community, explains why sharing is important and what role edusources plays.
Good practice Environmental Toxicology subject community
Kees van Gestel, professor of Ecotoxicology of soil ecosystems at VU University: 'Teaching in environmental toxicology had become fragmented in recent years. The textbooks available were old and not always up-to-date. From the six Dutch universities offering the subject Environmental Toxicology, we decided to develop an open textbook Environmental Toxicology, in order to streamline education more and create unity.
