Information about Open Educational Resources
What is OER?
Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials
that are freely available online for anyone to use. Open educational
resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks,
streaming videos, tests, software, and many other tools, materials or
techniques used to support access to knowledge. Flexibility is a key
concept in OER.materials can be adapted for your specific needs. Because
these materials can be searched by a wide variety of criteria, you can
quickly find what you specifically need.
Why OER?
It is believed that OER will not only reduce the cost of education for
schools, districts, and students by providing free access to textbooks
and other commonly used resources, but also help to improve the quality
and relevance of these materials by encouraging contributions from all
community members.Some educators are using OER as a way to get students
more involved, using the OER process as a way to collaborate with them
on content creation. This process brings students and other professors
into a larger context of learning and sharing knowledge beyond the four
walls of their classroom.
Why adopt an open textbook?
Open textbooks are more affordable then commercial textbooks. This
enables the already strained student budget to stretch even further.
Open textbooks give students and faculty flexibility to adapt and create
very customized course work to better meet their educational needs. The
digital format allows a portability that traditional textbooks have not
conventionally had, and can be carried on a key chain and used in any
computer and most hand held devices anywhere.
Steps to going digital:
1) We will meet with you to define what sort of Open Educational
Resources you need for each specific class.
2) We will search for and review texts that meet the needs of your
class.
3) We will download and prepare the text, providing you with an easy to
use copy for your review.
4) We will add custom material to your drive such as open source
programs, class notes, slides, syllabus, etc.
5) We create an easy to use interface that organizes the data and tools
for quick and easy student use.
6) We will obtain and duplicate the flash drives for your students and
will coordinate the sales of material to your students. Either via the
bookstore and/or our online shopping cart.
Copyright
Copyright law varies from country to country, but it generally provides
a limited period of legal exclusivity for original works. Copyright
reserves certain rights for the copyright holder. All others need to
obtain permission from them to do any of the following:
* Create derivative works from the original work, for example by
translating it.
* Distribute originals or copies of a work, for example by
printing a document for all students in a class.
* Publicly display or perform a work, for example by showing a
video to a class. These limitations cease once the copyright
period is over. The work then enters the public domain. Once
a work is in the public domain anyone may perform any of the
acts outlined above, without the need for permission. It also
means that no-one can appropriate or lay claim to the work.
Typically education institutions are allowed some flexibility in
reproducing copyright materials for the purpose of education (fair use).
However, the law is often unclear on the exact amount of flexibility
permitted; it is not easy to find out what exactly an educator is
allowed to do.
OER projects make use of open licenses. These are based on the legal
protection that copyright affords, but grant more rights to users.
Copyright law vests copyright in the author automatically. By using an
open license, the author retains copyright but can specify clearly which
rights he or she is prepared to share with users of the work. The most
common OER licenses are the Creative Commons license and the GFDL
license.
All current Creative Commons (CC) licenses require that a user give
credit to the original author ("attribute" them) and allow use and
distribution of the resource. Some Creative Commons licenses are more
restrictive and, for example, do not allow modification of a work to
create a derivative work, or commercial use.
The Creative Commmons license conditions are as follows:
* Attribution - You let others copy, distribute, display, and
perform your copyrighted work - and derivative works based
upon it - only if they give credit the way you request.
* Noncommercial - You let others copy, distribute, display, and
perform your work - and derivative works based upon it - but
only for noncommercial purposes.
* No Derivative Works - You let others copy, distribute,
display, and perform only verbatim copies of your work (not
derivative works based upon it).
* Share Alike - You allow others to distribute derivative works
based on your work - but only under a license identical to the
license that governs your work.
The GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) was created by the Free
Software Foundation and was originally used by Wikipedia. The GFDL was
incompatible with many CC licenses, which prevented users from combining
content to create derivative works.
One of the most burdensome aspects of publishing OER is to ensure that
none of the intended material falls under someone else's copyright. In
other words, you may not publish content as an OER unless you are the
copyright holder, or have obtained explicit permission from the
copyright holder.

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) for MBA
The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) for MBA
I used to have more than 10 GMAT books and took GMAT several times.
Therefore, I know GMAT very well.
The best GMAT book for practice:
The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 12th Edition by Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) (Paperback - Mar 23, 2009)
The best GMAT book for test strategy:
Cracking the GMAT with DVD, 2010 Edition (Graduate School Test Preparation) by Princeton Review (Paperback - Jun 9, 2009).
Although we have an excellent Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score or good English skills, we must improve our English skills including increasing our vocabulary by at least 30 new words everyday to prepare for GMAT. My GMAT score went up significantly after I increased my vocabulary by reading the Wall Street Journal everyday for 2 months before taking GMAT.
Read business oriented on-line publications such as Wall Street Journal, Business Week magazine, Fortune magazine, Forbes magazine, etc.
You will increase not only your vocabulary but also your business knowledge.
Good luck.
