This week we were introduced to the Open Educational Resources, which is an online free-access information resource. First of all, I was surprised that there are so many websites out there that we can have access for all kinds of information and knowledge.
Before this class, I used to search information on Google, or school library webpage. I’ve always known that there are lots of information on the internet, but never knew where to I look. Through the week, I have looked into many websites which were mentioned in the slide show in class, and I can see great value in them.
One of the OER website I really enjoy is Unsplash. I used to look for pictures on Google Image which is not so great because of the photos we can reuse are not as good as the ones we can’t. Unsplash on the other hand, it has some really good quality photos, I already used one photo from it in my Free Inquiry as the featured image.
As important as appreciating the valuable resources, we also have to pay respect and follow the rules when we use these resources. There are guidelines about open licensing for online resources using, and we must follow them at all time in order to create a healthier online learning environment!
