This has been a pleasure. Very interesting informative. Thank you for having us. #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A6: Figure out how to align OER creation & delivery + authorship & attribution + compensation & funding + profit motives. #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A6: Coordination, collaboration between institutions & legislatures for implementing OER initiatives, mandates (Are OER required? Exist already? Need to create? Funds & expertise to create? Academic freedom infringed?). #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A6: Scholars, subject matter experts, practitioners who create OER deserve proper attribution of authorship/rights, and if appropriate, recognition for contributions to scholarly communications/publications. #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A6: Resources, structures, culture need to change & align to incentivize & reward OER creation, development, sharing. #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A6: Law & policy need to catch up with issues related to digital rights & accessibility. There is not a clear understanding of risks, etc. #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A5: Filter mechanisms to reduce noise, clutter so I can find what I want and assess quality. Can we reduce/diminish/remove low-quality? #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A5: Tools for handling digital rights issues and sustaining advances in licensing geared towards OERs. #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A5: Consistent vocabulary for describing and categorizing OERs. #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A5: Improved metadata for searching, browsing, adaption/reuse, and sharing -- plus improved search, browse, filter tools. #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A5: Quality standards, review tools, and rubrics; Peer/user review to aid in validation. #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A4: Creating sophisticated research strategies to locate high-caliber OERs that distinguish the jewels from the junk. #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A4: Some disciplines do not have as many quality resources available as OER, particularly in specialized areas or at higher levels. #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A4: Explaining accessibility & digital rights implications to faculty. #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A4: Fitting searching & full vetting into our course development timelines. #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A3: Increased need for tools, processes to locate, curate, develop, deliver OER, plus supporting org. culture for ongoing management through content life cycles. #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A3: OERs may not always include some of the publisher “extras” (e.g., assessments, quiz banks, PPTs, etc.). #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A3: Need to incorporate resources/content from multiple sources into integrated presentations (vs. following commercial print textbooks/collateral). #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A3: Classic or seminal works that faculty rely upon may not be useable as OER. #edmapopenchat

[Learning Design & Solutions @UMUC_LDS]

@EdMap A2: Why these Subjects: Certain disciplines lend themselves more to open content; some general subjects have entire eBooks available. #edmapopenchat
