Welcome to OERcamp.global 2021, the first 48-hour Festival for Open Education and OER. Please visit https://oercamp.global for free registration! All sessions will take place in Zoom.
🌐 We will email the Zoom invitation to everyone registered. 🌐
The first OERcamp took place in Bremen (Germany) in 2012. We are looking back at almost 10 years with BarCamps and other formats of user-generated unconferencing.
This session will be a conversation between Alan from OE Global plus Kristin and Jöran from the OERcamp team. It will be recorded as a new episode for the OEG Voices Podcast. Think of this as "live from the campground" field recording, we hope our audience is willing to share their experiences (so far) at OERcamp.
The podcast is now available at https://podcast.oeglobal.org/2021/12/13/voices-27/ and this is the first episode to make us of our OEG Voices remixer (Kristin and Jöran both appear in the mix!) Thanks as well to Gina for contributing her perspective as a participant.
The session will introduce ORCA.nrw, a new state-sponsored OER portal and network in Germany, to sustainably anchor OER at universities and colleges in North-Rhine Westphalia. We will showcase two best practice examples of how ORCA coordinators promote OER at their institutions: a learning snack and music tracks.
ORCA.nrw
The ORCA.nrw portal offers various services online, with an OER repository at its core. In addition, it provides legal information on e-learning, a community platform, and teaching development for higher education. We ourselves are members of the ORCA network which offers services relating to the state portal at the individual universities. The ILIAS and Moodle Competence Centers drive technical developments for the state portal. In addition, there are several grants that financially support instructors in the creation of OER.
Learning Snack
Explore how the instructor Dr. Jamal Groenstein learns about the ORCA network & find out how you can use the tool Learning Snacks to produce your own OER content.
OER Tracks
Are you an instructor who is producing video tutorials for your students? Are you having trouble finding good-quality music? Then you should check out OER Tracks by Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts! We worked with ten up-and coming artists from a wide variety of musical and cultural backgrounds.They compiled thirty music tracks from many different genres, styles, and sounds to support your educational video.
