Cultural imperialism or multicultural mix? Promoting OER reuse through collaboration

Santos, Andreia; McAndrew, Patrick and Mendonça, Murilo (2010). Cultural imperialism or multicultural mix? Promoting OER reuse through collaboration. In: Open Educational Resources 2010 (OER10), 22-24 Mar 2010, Cambridge, United Kingdom.

Abstract

In this paper we will look at the cultural messages that are contained in OER in the context of the variety of material that is on offer and the diversity of those involved in the field. This will then lead to a case study of an organisation that has embraced the opportunities that are offered to discuss a succesfull experience of OER provision and reuse, prompted by a dynamic collaboration between the distance education department (UnisulVirtual) of the Brazilian university Unisul, and the British OER initiative OpenLearn of the Open University.
