Info

The Open University of Sri Lanka limited to various types of boards and paper materials was shifted to multimedia materials and online activities. For example, teaching about the solar system using an OER video clip and experiencing colour changes in chemical reactions using acid-based indicators were very enjoyable lessons and easy for the students to understand. (Fig. 9.2.2) Fig. 9.2.2: Using OER for lessons OER were very useful for students to visualize the concepts related to various situations such as things that cannot be reached practically and things that are not commonly available. Some such examples are; the three dimensional view of chromosome, various species in the deep sea, types of minerals available in various parts on the earth. Further, OER helped us to plan and implement very attractive lessons. Here the teachers, as well as students, were encouraged to look for new knowledge. This created an opportunity for us to share subject related resources such as activities, assessments, video clips etc. Our thinking enhanced in relation to the OER concept, as indicated by the second versions of our concept maps (Fig. 9.2.3) 195
Dreamweaving Open Educational Practices Challenges and frustrations Fig. 9.2.3: Concept maps - Version 2 Language difficulties, both English and technical words in various software and lack of resources such as hardware and relevant software were the major limitations faced by us. As a solution to the language issue, Google translation could be used. Also, at the beginning it was difficult to locate suitable OER related to the subject content in some lessons. 196
