Build your Learning Community with Badges
Learning on the web happens socially, through interactions with your peers around projects that you're passionate about.
If you're building a learning community on the web, Badges prompt conversations between learners. Peers recognize skills in each other and learn how to deliver stellar feedback.

Title
explOERer Wk 2- My Section 2.3 OER placeDescription
I looked at the OU's OpenLearn (perhaps biased as I'm an OU AL) and picked this resource: http://www.open.edu/openlearn/... (as I work in disaster management 'in the day'). It's not immediately obvious what you are/ aren't allowed to do with it in terms of reusing it. Where it's 'short & sweet', I would reuse by recycling the link to the resource. If a significant long, I'd use a brief quote that perhaps conveyed the crux of the matter I was trying to convey and then use the link as reference.

Initial Learning about OERDescription
I've enjoyed ready more about what OER are and the contibutions from all those on the ExplOERer Course..
OER enables me to include a wide range of high quality images, learning objects and learning resources for my specific role that saves me time in designing and planning my material. In developing a community of practice in learning and teaching more widely, I am encouraged by the wide range of further reading and references to resources to share.

Learning, slowly but surelyDescription
I looked at the OpenStax's site and looked at the Anatomy and Physiology book as this subject underpins the majority of our curriculum and students are always looking for useful resources, I really liked this book as it enables the student to question their knowledge as they go through their learninghttps://cnx.org/contents/FPtK1...

Title
Structure of Modern English Course FlowDescription
4 lists: "To do", "Doing", "Done", & "Information" (= reference material).
Link to Trello board included on course's website on University's LMS.
At the start of this blended course (mostly on-line, w/ 6 f2f meetings), "To do" loaded w/ assignments & meetings in due-date order.
Cards labeled w/ item-type*, due date, & availability window noted in Description.
When available for students to work on, second label ("Open") is added to card. When a card is both "Open" and within a week of due date, it shifts to "Doing" list.
As due date approaches, date on card first turns yellow, then red automatically. After due date, "Open" label removed, & card shifts to top of "Done" list.
[*NOTE: "Warm-up" (= pre-test) & "Puzzle" (= culminating assignment) terminology comes from the "Just-in-time Teaching" framework.]

Title
Searching for OERsDescription
I am interested in material that illustrates social complexity to support learners in appreciating its nature, particularly in relation to conflict. I made use of OER Commons and searched under 'social complexity'. The course from MITon 'Networks, Complexity and its Applications' (http://bit.ly/1pq7UUs) contains some material that might be applicable.
The means of citation is given - this is useful and the license is Creative Commons BY-NC-SA. So I must give appropriate credit to MIT if I use e.g. the diagram in the examples section, I cannot use it for commercial purposes and anything I produce must be distributed under the same licence i.e. CC BY-NC-SA.
I think I would be wary of using MIT Open Courseware (OCW) in my initial forays into OERs reuse and adaptation. There seems a lot to take into consideration and it seems to me that MIT might be very hot on your heels if you cross the line. Might be simpler to produce my own diagram!

Title
sharing resourcesDescription
I had my own expectation of what I plan to teach in the class.
Just to help my students understand Creative Commoms and licensing I shared this resource.
I visited OER Commons and surfed for supporting share alike, I found thios piece similar to my idea and I though of sharing

Title
Disappointing, antiquated and poorly tagged OERsDescription
I went to PhET as I've done a fair bit of work in maths and science recently, and wondered if I could find anything to augment my existing practice and design.
I registered and searched for materials on pattern. First I found https://phet.colorado.edu/en/contributions/view/3543 which is effectively an extended lesson plan, including scripts and materials for learners to do an experiment. There's a pdf and an extended Word doc, which I presume I could (in theory) edit and tailor to my needs. However, I'm not sure whether it would be legal for me to do this and re-share it with colleagues, since I could not find *any* licence information. I note that the resource was submitted four years ago and last updated 3.5 years ago. I would not be confident about using this in practice.

Stupid question about creditingDescription
I found a podcast (http://thepsychologyfaculty.or... searching my way through the Open Education Europa suggestion and by clicking a few times via http://www.jisc-content.ac.uk/... and http://thepsychologyfaculty.or.... I can use this podcast for non commercial purposes and I may copy it and use it only if I credit the author and I can only distribute derivative works only under a license identical to the license that governs the original work.

Title
Good and not so goodDescription
As part of a university Educational Development Unit for online and blended learning, we use OER materials, mainly images, animations, video and diagrams when developing learning materials. This is often to replace non-copyright compliant material within resources from lecturers. The benefit is that OER materials are free to use and resources we create are reused by other staff across the university (though external use outside the VLE is still an issue). Staff are also then made aware of all the OER resources that they could access and 'hand-held' through how to find them and negotiate the copyright maze.
Not so good is that OER resources are of wildly varying quality, sometimes hard to re-purpose for technical reasons, can be time consuming to look for and these things put off lecturers from incorporating them in learning materials. Lecturers may also include OER in their resources with little thought as to the pedagogy of their use.Evidence

Title
Childhood memoriesDescription
I would use this videoclip of someone recalling childhood memories to practice the preterito imperfecto in Spanish (one of the past tenses). According to the licenses description, I would be able to share this videoclip for non commercial purposes and always attributing the source (COERLL).
