Recording Sessions<br />
for OER@USM<br />
The Centre for Development of<br />
Academic Excellence (CDAE)<br />
has taken a few major steps<br />
towards the promotion of the Open<br />
Educational Resources (OER) concept<br />
at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).<br />
One of the initiatives is to record<br />
lectures given by lecturers on various<br />
topics pertaining to the curriculum.<br />
During Semester I (2012/2013), 262<br />
hours of lectures from 19 courses by<br />
12 lecturers were recorded. The topics<br />
chosen for the video recording, such<br />
as Spectrometric Methods, Social<br />
Policy and Social Services, German<br />
Language 1, Finance & Accounting<br />
for Management, Physical Properties<br />
of Food, and Microprocessors &<br />
Embedded Systems, are diverse in<br />
terms of subjects and fields. These<br />
sessions were recorded in lecture<br />
halls as live recording or at studios.<br />
After being recorded, the videos<br />
were edited, the recordings were<br />
transcribed, and lecture slides and<br />
subtitles were incorporated. These<br />
recordings will be embedded in<br />
the OER@USM website, where they<br />
will be readily available for anyone<br />
who wishes to use this material for<br />
teaching and learning (T&L) purposes<br />
without any copyright infringement.<br />
More video recording sessions are<br />
being conducted this semester. In<br />
total, production of 798 hours of<br />
video recordings has been planned<br />
by the CDAE. These videos will be vital<br />
in endorsing the concept of sharing<br />
educational resources. •<br />
