Lesson 2: Modifying and creating OER

Introduction

In this lesson, we will provide information and examples related to the production process of open educational resources, and the aspects to reconsider when selecting a tool for OER creation or modification. As well, you will find a list of recommended tools that can be used when creating OERs either individually or collaboratively, and, quality criteria that will help to assess the selected OER or the one that you are going to create.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

·        identify the five main steps of the OER production process.
·        select a tool that supports collaborative OER creation and/or modification.
·        identify and assess the quality of a particular OER.
