#2 Reflection

A.

The difference between online educational content and openly licensed educational content is that online educational content is very broad which contains “open” and “close” educational content. Many of the online educational content is not open and has to ask for permission before people access them. Openly licensed educational content is open content (OCW, OER, MOOC)  that involves the most popular open license system- Creative Commons(Known as the basic CC By license ). People are giving permission to access the providers’ creative content under the Creative Commons terms. Conclusively, not all of the online educational content is accessing freely and has to ask for permission. But openly licensed educational content is already given permission for people to use them under Creative Commons terms.

This is the link of  the open educational resource (About Accounting: Forms of Business): https://digmedia.cdu.edu.au/ssdcms/ipublic.do?u=d10141906330406

C.

The source does point its objectives out by telling the question(objective) on the overview which can give people some rough ideas about this topic and triggers their imagination.

No major content errors, but the explanation of each point is very short which I doubt its accuracy of the topic. There are no spelling errors and it is not peer-reviewed.

The explanations are very short on each point, therefore, is not very clear and understandable. The layout and interface are very simple and plain which is easy to navigate. The design is not very attractive did not enhance learning for me. The video quilty is medium. 

It is an embedded video and has to log in before saved as other formats, but can be watched on the website. There are subtitles in this video and they are accurate.

The video does encourage active learning and participation by giving time to people to discuss and refresh memories. The video tests people’s understanding of the materials by asking questions and giving times for people to think. The license of this source is Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs which can be reuse but cannot be used for commercial purposes and cannot be changed. It is the most restrictive of the six main licenses. If it can be edited, I would put more interesting and practical examples and more explanations on every point which could draw more attention and make the topic easier to understand.

As a student, I would use OER as an assistive tool that can help me when I am at home because it allows me to access the sources anytime I want instead of going to school or booking an appointment for help. after knowing the existence of the open educational resource from this course, it really gives me convenience. OER can be my tutor at home that every problem I have from the school work I can find my solution through the internet with the open educational resource.
