Greetings Open Colleagues: Mike Smith has recently published a new paper titled: “Ruminations on Research on Open Educational Resources” (CC BY 4.0). http://www.hewlett.org/library/consultant-publication/ruminations-research-open-educational-resources *The link to the paper is at the bottom of the page.* From the Abstract: - “While we understand [OER] properties, we have only a beginning understanding of how OER are used and whether the properties add value for users when compared to similar proprietary materials. This paper explores nine areas of research on OER from policy to development to its relative effectiveness and whether it stimulates innovation. Although existing research is considered, greater attention is given to the possibilities for new research in these areas.” If you are interested OER, you’ll find this paper worth your time.
