Research Questions
- Commons based cases (the cases that we know will appear in the right part of the quadrants)
- Identify cases
- Correlate them with their main outputs (Data. Narratives. Tools)
- How and in what extent they are “experimenting” or “adopting” commons-based approach? Are there sustainability issues?
- Identify these cases and treat them as entities that will also be placed in our mapping device (the quadrants)
- Identify what actors are participating on this and what actors are just observers (Use the questionnaire to guide your research when appropriate - Carol will select specific relevant and helpful questions)
OER
See Commons-based Cases in EM#Definition for definition.
Cases
- CK-12
- The CK-12 Foundation is a non-profit organization offering "an open-content, web-based collaborative model" called "Flexbook", aimed at distributing "high quality educational content that will serve both as core text as well as provide an adaptive environment for learning" (CK-12 Foundation). Initial OER content has been commissioned "through a combination of author donations, licensing partnerships, incentives for community-based authorship, and university collaborations" (ibid.). Future content is planned to be community submitted and moderated by CK-12 to align with "an expanding base of learning standards like McREL Compendium" (ibid.). Content will be available under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike licenses with any on-demand printing costs born by users.
- National Repository of Online Courses (NROC)
- NROC is a non-profit OER project of the Monterey Institute for Technology and Education to build a library of "high-quality online course content for students and faculty in higher education, high school and Advanced Placement", sponsored by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation ('What is NROC?'). Courses in the repository are contributed by developers at academic institutions across the country and are Creative Commons non-commercial licensed. Individual educators and institutions serving underprivileged children can access the content in the NROC Network commons for free, while other institutions are asked to pay a membership fee. Users can access complete courses through the flash-based HippoCampus website.
