- 71. Find & evaluatean OER Criteria Do they meet the criteria? (YES, NO, Partially) Issues for adapting Appropriate content How closely does the content match: ● your course objectives / activity learning outcomes ● the needs of your students * less close match = more adaptation Local context What changes (if any) will be needed in order to reflect local concepts, terminology and ways of doing things? Are there any topics that need to be included? Up-to-date How up-to-date are the materials you want to adapt? How long will it be before your materials needs updating? Accurate and authoritative Too many inaccuracies means more adaptation. Does the OER match subject matter expertise at the right level in your discipline? Prior knowledge or skills If the prior knowledge assumed is more than your learners will have, then you may need to produce a pre-course supplement to bring your learners up to the starting point of the course. Appropriate Language Level For example, is the vocabulary appropriate and are the sentences not too long or complex? If you will need to translate the text, will this present any special problems? Learning Activities If the activities are few or of poor quality, you will have to create new ones.
