Video Resources on OER and Open Textbooks
Go back to: General discussion
I thought that if anyone finds any video resources on our topics we might share them here.
I found this online at http://opensource.com/education/11/1/video-education-without-limits-why-open-textbooks-are-way-forward
There are 400 million openly licensed materials that can empower teachers to be better instructors through that openness. But there's a big barrier: adoption.
In this video, David Wiley talks about the opportunity and the challenges. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiyjhdTRiwo
Speaking of OER videos, the Khan Academy must be mentioned. An amazing collection of short videos on math, science, and related topics originally started by an uncle who was trying to tutor nieces and nephews overseas. Coincidentally, Mr. Khan lives less than 5 miles from Foothill College where College Open Textbooks is hosted.
