In software development the reuse of components is a standard practice. To take an existing resource and rework it to become more explicit (self-badged) and generalised so it has potential for reuse is an important specialism. The practice is referred to as 'harvesting'.

Subject: Writing an OER workshop
Thanks to Ella Mitchell and Alex Fenlon for running today's Webinar on Writing an OER Workshop.
The key 'take away' for me was importance of 'taking the temperature' of the participants in advance as the level of understanding (and commitment) cab vary very greatly. People who are already 'on board;' with Open Ed are obvious allies and may share the delivery.
I was interested in Terese Bird's chat window suggestion of adopting the Leeds Uni terminology of 'recycled' as a more accessible term.
I am still unsure whether there may a lingering association for some between recycled and lower quality?
Is this a good term to promote to supplement or replace OER in common parlace?
