Unleashing the OER 101 Workshop! WOW!
OER 101 WORKSHOP
This 2-day workshop was conducted at Wawasan Open University (WOU) from 26th – 27th April, 2012. It provides an introduction to the understanding of Open Educational Resources (OER), and how OER can be found, reused, remixed and created. During these two days, we explored and discussed together the concept of OER, Creative Commons, business models, and variety of OpenCourseWare (OCW) case studies and content development tools. During the hands-on sessions participants built their own customized Google search engine, and explored Google Blogger to build a mock-up course for OER fusing their own content with OER and OCW. In the final session, we discussed how to move forward with OER at WOU...Top secret :)

BEEN OERing SINCE 2005!
I have been practicing and promoting Open Educational Resources (OER) ever since I was involved in the first IIEP discussion forum on Open Educational Resources (24 October - 2 December 2005), and even back then I made enough noise to be mentioned for my contribution.
Although, in basically all my workshops and presentations since then have explored and promoted OER, I had never done a full-blown OER workshop before the WOU one. Please, dont ask me why! However, when WOU invited me to do one OER workshop, I just had to say YES.
The 2-day workshop went well (most of the 25 participants stayed until the end without falling asleep...LOL!), and I believe I will be invited to many more institutions in the near future to conduct OER 101 workshops?
Why? OER is in my DNA...:)
