OER 플랫폼 분석을 위한 지표 개발 및 분석의 실제

Abstract

This study had two purposes: (1) to develop a set of analysis indicators through which users can review OER (Open Educational Resources) platforms and (2) to review selected OER platforms to get insights into contemporary practices of OER in Korea and overseas as well. For the purpose, we took both the deductive (from previous studies) and inductive (from the actual analysis of selected 21 OER platforms) approaches to develop the analysis framework. As a result, we could come up with a set of analysis indicators consisting of three areas including 23 questioning items: technical (design, SNS, mobile App, subtitles, search method, dashboard), content (copyright, meta-data, quality control, types of content), and management (user participation, communication, management board, types of institution, target audience, sustainability of data collection, openness, guideline, and certificate). We, then, reviewed the selected 5 Korean and 16 overseas OER platforms by means of the developed analysis indicators to result in the following observations across the platforms: (1) the level of openness of OER platforms, (2) incorporating mobile and SNS media to facilitate learning in and out of learning community, (3) the coexistence of two differing quality control approaches for OER, and (4) the increasing importance of communication between OER providers and users with the possibility of user participation in collecting OER. These results were discussed as important considerations for the design, development and operation of OER platforms which function with high availability and sustainability as well.
