OER use and re-use not (yet) a common practice in Higher
Education, schools & enterprises
Re-use of OER is generally low
Lack of appreciation &
recognition in the community
“Not-invented-here” syndrome
If I have not created / spent efforts / reviewed it myself, it can’t be good
“We look at the materials and then we re-build the resource ourselves”
(Teacher)
• Sharing complete & “perfect” resources might not be the best solution…
• Many opportunities for participation generate involvement
• Slow uptake is linked to lack of emotional ownership
• Easier to create a community of practice around an idea than a resource
• More information: http://project.idea-space.eu/
The OEI approach
“the degree that individuals orgroups perceive that knowledge or resources belong to them”
