Open Education - Set Up Tecnology

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Maria Strange, Friday, 23 Mar 2018, 13:49

My experience with open education has been with OU with regard to formal learning.  With regard to informal learning I have been using open resources related to my work in translations and language learning. I am a great devotee of YouTube as I have been able to learn nearly anything I have need from them. I also like TED talks, Podcast and Blogs.  I have tried some MOOCs but not with much success as I usually drop out after a while.

Also in order to help my children with their homework, I have accessed different websites which help you with SATs and GCSEs, especially when I had to re-study integers and squares number thoughtful.....

Mi experiencia con la Open University ha estado ligada al aprendizaje formal.  En cuanto al aprendizaje informal he tenido experiencia con el uso de recursos abiertos relacionados con mi trabajo de traducción y enseñanza de lenguas. Soy un gran admirador de YouTube pues he podido aprender casi todo lo que he necesitado de ellos. También me atrae TED talks, Podcast y Blogs. He intentado hacer algún que otro MOOC pero sin gran éxito porque normalmente los he abandonado después de un tiempo.

También para poder ayudar a mis hijos con los deberes, muchas veces he accedido a sitios web de ayuda con los SAT y los GCSE, especialmente cuando he tenido que volver a estudiar integrales y raíces cuadradas wink

YouTube is such a great resource for just-in-time learning. iTunesU is great as well for more academic-related material.

Hello Maria,

My experience is similar to yours. Like you, I've dropped out of some MOOC courses but I've also completed some. I've used a wide range of OER too. 

Well done
