Hi everyone,
We're pleased to launch the prototype offering of the Digital Skills for
Collaborative OER Development <http://ds4oer.oeru.org/> (DS4OER) course
today.
The OERu envisions a world where all learners will have more affordable
access to higher education.
The DS4OER course was developed to build capacity in the design and
development of open online courses using OER. A key feature of this course
is the ability for any educator to host their *own* course site using the
popular open source WordPress content management system assembled from a
collection of wiki pages authored openly and collaboratively.
We are "eating our own dog food
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food>". We developed the
course pages in WikiEducator. I am hosting the course site using WordPress
and my own domain using the free tier from OpenShift
<https://www.openshift.com/products/pricing> (Red Hat linux's public cloud
application.)
We acknowledge the funding support of the New Zealand National Commission
for UNESCO which has supported the development of the course materials and
the open source technologies we are using to enable educators around the
world to widen access to open online courses using OER.
If you wan't to learn how to do this, come join us at:
http://ds4oer.oeru.org or pop in to say hi on the aggregated course feed
<http://ds4oer.oeru.org/interactions/course-feed/>. You can post using the
#DS4OER tag.
As a prototype, we apologise in advance for any teething problems but hope
that your feedback will help us to improve.
We are widening options for educators around the world to create and host
their own open online courses using open source software.
Cheers
Wayne
