I think the term recycled (or even upcycled?!) is quite useful when marketing a workshop to staff - seems useful to use words that refer to the actual problem/solution or practice, rather than names of systems, obscure terminology or acronyms that may not mean a lot to people. 



But having said that, once you get the staff members in the room I think you can explain to them what we mean by OER and this term is now so established in our communities and literature that I am not sure it is practical to think we could start calling it something else.



Cheers

Leo

Hi Alistair --

Agree, webinar was excellent, thanks to all who spoke and organised it!



Recycled --- I suppose perhaps it may be seen as lower quality by some people although I don't think of it that way. Someone else in the chat box responded to my comment 'How about the term 'upcycled'?'  I totally love that suggestion and wonder what other people think?



Maybe it's too soon to replace the term OER but supplementing it yes agree with that.



As for next time's webinar, perhaps we can have a bit of question-answer-discussion at the end?



Cheers all!

Terese Bird, Leicester Learning Institute

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?
