Workshop Description
Historically, hiqh-quality medical education has been expensive to develop and limited to selected authors working with medical publishers. New digital platforms have accelerated the development of open education resources (OER) which evolved to address critical cost and accessibility issues in education globally. The United Nations and UNESCO identified OER as a global priority and developed guidelines and policies supporting OER development at the country and institutional level. In medical education, OER are also known as Free Open Access Medical education (FOAM) and include learning and teaching materials that are freely and legally available for health professions educators to Reuse, Retain, Redistribute, Revise and Remix (the 5Rs of OERs). Students and trainees can also now access OER/FOAM and create peer-to-peer (P2P) learning experiences. Finally, novel shared curricular ecosystem platforms can standardize and facilitate the management of OER/FOAM to empower a global community of medical educators to share, collaborate, and go further together. This hands-on, interactive workshop was successfully presented at APMEC 2023 and will provide participants with an introductory overview to OER and FOAM, including UNESCO guideline recommendations. Participants will be able to explore best practices for leveraging OER/FOAM in existing curricular development processes. The facilitators will then discuss and demonstrate a variety of free or low-cost tools for the development, management and sharing or OER/FOAM. In small group breakouts, participants will have an opportunity to experiment with selected tools to develop OER/FOAM and share with each other. Potential pitfalls such as quality, critical appraisal and copyright issues will be addressed, and finally the workshop will explore strategies for engaging learners in creating and leveraging OER/FOAM for P2P learning experiences.
Workshop Objective
Upon completing this workshop, participants will be able to:
• Explain the history, goals and impacts of OER and FOAM
• Discuss best practices for the development and implementation of OER/FOAM
• Identify and use free or low-cost tools to develop, manage and share OER/FOAM
• Discuss and implement appropriate policies and processes for quality assurance, critical appraisal, and copyright compliance
• Guide learners to develop OER/FOAM for P2P learning experiences
Who Should Attend
Health professional education leaders, educators, learning designers in medical, nursing and allied health fields who are interested in sharing and collaborating with others, especially in low resource settings.
