Hugh Davis and Leslie Carr will be publishing an article on the “culture of sharing” and OER in an upcoming issue of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies. The article focuses on two repositories, EdShare and Language Box, and how they fostering sharing. From the abstract:
EdShare and the Language Box are two initiatives that have concentrated on the issue of facilitating and improving the practice of sharing, the former in an institutional setting and the latter in a subject community of practice. This paper describes and analyses the motivations for these projects, the design decisions they took in implementing their repositories, the approaches they took to change agency and practice within their communities, and the changes in practice that have so far been observed. The contribution of this paper is an improved understanding of how to encourage educational communities to share.
