‘OER’ FUN

The Sixth Graders were introduced to the concept of ‘Open Educational Resources’.

Open Educational Resources (OER) are freely accessible, openly licensed documents and media that are useful for teaching, learning, and assessing as well as for research purposes. It is the leading trend in distance education/open and distance learning domain as a consequence of the openness movement. There is no universal usage of open file formats in OER.

The development and promotion of open educational resources is often motivated by a desire to provide an alternate or enhanced educational paradigm.

After the chapter ‘Fun with Magnets’ was taught in the class; the learners actively searched the relevant OERs on the topics. In the process they analysed and shared them through mail. The students got to read information from various sources and they were very engaged. They were amazed by the ocean of knowledge available online! Many of them were even ready to forgo their playtime on gadgets!
