Hey Folks,
We published a new Epistemicast / podcast featuring Claudia Hackl (OER Specialist, University of Vienna & Austrian Higher Education Sector). Epistemicast host Rory MacDonald talks to Claudia about “Putting Open Educational Resources to Work”.
*How do you ensure that Open Educational Resources (OER) become more than just a few well-intentioned documents gathering digital dust in the corner of a repository? In this edition of Epistemicast we take a look at some real world examples on how to encourage OER creation, contribution, use, and reuse. *
*We discover the vital importance of pulling OER into teaching and learning workflows, with integration into learning platforms (Moodle), online courses (MOOCs) and dedicated hubs. And we explore how the University of Vienna is giving OER, and teaching more generally, a more prominent position on staff’s academic profiles and in CRIS systems. *
Our guide through the topic is Claudia Hackl-Mayerhofer, resident OER expert at both the University of Vienna’s Centre for Teaching and Learning, and as a part of the broader Austrian national shared services team. And as the organizer of OER Barcamp Austria Hackl-Mayerhofer is also uniquely positioned to give us an informed overview of best practice examples coming out of the Austrian higher education system.
From now on, we will also include an AI generated, transcript divided into clear chapters of what is being discussed. Not only for your convenience, but also for Search Engine Optimisation, so our podcasts get more exposure.
Let us know what you think and spread the word!
