CURATE by Ed Map

CURATE by Ed Map™ is a professional service that discovers content for institutions.

[Open Education Global @OpenEdGlobal]

In 2017, @AmericanPublicU converted 222 courses to high #quality, free #OER – lowering costs and increasing access to help all #students succeed. Read more on how #OER makes education more attainable: https://t.co/eyP7jYUm6M

A1: AAC&U came out this week with CARE Framework for OER Stewardship. Steps towards needed standards. #edmapopenchat

[CURATE by Ed Map @CURATEbyEdMap]

@mauradevlin @EdMap This would be incredible.

A6: Higher-ed forward momentum is critical. As institutions realize that OER is a good strategy for certain programs, #OER becomes an even bigger part of their larger course material strategy. #EdMapOpenChat

[CURATE by Ed Map @CURATEbyEdMap]

A5: There are more and more resources available with @creativecommons or Public Domain licenses that can be reviewed. It’d be great to normalize what information / metadata we need to show so it’s easier for faculty to adopt #OER. #EdMapOpenChat

[Ed Map @EdMap]

Q5: What would make finding quality, relevant OER content easier? #EdMapOpenChat

[CURATE by Ed Map @CURATEbyEdMap]

A4: “quality” and “relevant” might be subjective, as with anything new, using course content that doesn’t come from the traditional channels like a publisher is going to take more work to review and trust. But we’re getting there! #EdMapOpenChat

[CURATE by Ed Map @CURATEbyEdMap]

Love this! Going with open resources also means sharing ways to improve how and where you are finding #OER Great find @ATechJAnderson https://t.co/2leoyRMJbp

[Ed Map @EdMap]

Q4: What has been your biggest challenge to finding quality, relevant OER? #EdMapOpenChat

[CURATE by Ed Map @CURATEbyEdMap]

A3: There’s still a fair amount of uncertainty around the quality of OER per the latest Babson study. https://t.co/IPGHVr63to #EdMapOpenChat

[CURATE by Ed Map @CURATEbyEdMap]

A3: Essentially it's about if a professor thinks it’s good quality and gets the important concepts across efficiently. This leads to students trusting and embracing OER – not just because it’s free. #EdMapOpenChat

[Ed Map @EdMap]

Q3: How does shifting to OER change learning and teaching? #EdMapOpenChat

[CURATE by Ed Map @CURATEbyEdMap]

A2 In other words #OER is being used instead of course materials that are too expensive or not aligned with the learning outcomes – or where traditional textbooks are not covering the topic well (high-level graduate or PhD courses, niche topics). #EdMapOpenChat

[CURATE by Ed Map @CURATEbyEdMap]

A2: We see #OER being available across many disciplines and levels. It seems to be driven less by area of study and more by course material that isn't serving the student. #EdMapOpenChat

[Ed Map @EdMap]

Q2: In what area of study are you seeing #OER used the most and why do you think that is? #EdMapOpenChat

[Ed Map @EdMap]

Q1: What critical questions and ideas are missing from current conversations about OER? #EdMapOpenChat

[CURATE by Ed Map @CURATEbyEdMap]

A1: How do we scale it? How do we support it? How do we sustain it? How to know how efficient it is to get the point across? #EdMapOpenChat
