Abstract

This paper describes the framework for the development of OER-based learning materials <em>TCC121/05 Programming Fundamentals</em> with Java for ODL learners in Wawasan Open University (WOU) using three main development phases mainly: creation, evaluation and production phases. The proposed framework has further been tested on ODL learners to promote greater use of OER repositories and further the acceptance of a wider range of learning resources. By using collective feedback sessions, the walkthrough of available OER resources to be integrated or assembled into the learning materials is illustrated in the course development cycle and the interaction among students and instructors and learning experiences of courses units’ content are evaluated at the end of each of the courses with the production of external course assessor’s reports (Quality Assurance). The learners’ interactions with OER materials in LMS have demonstrated the development of a model for effective knowledge transfer using OER.

Highlights

  • This paper describes the framework for the development of Open Educational Resources (OER)-based learning materials TCC121/05 Programming Fundamentals with Java for ODL learners in Wawasan Open University (WOU) using three main development phases mainly: creation, evaluation and production phases

  • The OER repositories are introduced to the course team members in development of the OER-based course for the initial development by Chung and Khor (2012), TCC121/05 Programming Fundamentals with Java who comprised Team Coordinator, Academic Members, Course Writers, Instructional Designers, Editor and External Course Assessor (ECA) for searching, creating and customizing learning contents including content modules, articles, books and journals

  • This paper presents the development and evaluation of OER resources in WOU learning materials for delivery in ODL mode

Summary

Introduction

The OER-Asia initiative in 2010 under the auspices of the University for promoting and transforming the existing course development process is aim to increase the quality and efficiency of developing OER-based course materials (Menon & Ali, 2012). “WOU will promote and implement the creation, reuse, remix, repurpose and redistribution of Open Educational Resources (OER) within an Open Licensing framework”. TCC121/05 was scheduled for course development in July 2012 as an OER integrated course
