OER uses cases, spliced by experience length and depth
- Single transient learning experience: consuming a snippet of information. E.g., finding the population of the Sweden; getting list of cold symptoms from a Wikipedia article
- Multiple transient learning experiences: aggregated snippets of information. E.g., learner synthesizes a breadth of snippets of information on symptoms and treatments for a cold from Wikipedia + WebMD + Mayo Clinic articles
- Single full session: a whole nugget of content. E.g., a TED talk video, or article on cold care
- Full line learning experience: multiple full sessions designed and intended to be stringed together over time, providing breadth and depth on an single thematic thread. E.g., an online course on immunology, a textbook on Swedish culture
- "Hacked together" learning experience: combinations of the above. E.g., taking an online course, along with researching snippets of supplemental information
Inclusivity goals (wrt to OER material)
- Perceivability + operability: e.g., UIO (to tweak), multi-modal content
- Understandability: e.g., language, culture, appropriate content level
- Discoverability: connecting appropriate content to learners (e.g., search, matching, link sharing)
- Availability: e.g., access to internet, technology
- Portability: e.g., not just "mobile"--available where you need it to be (e-Reader, tablet, paper)
