Questions

What would motivate you to share and participate in a peer-production environment? What do OER projects need to provide to make online peer-production and evaluation inviting and rewarding?

Goal of Activity

To understand more clearly the importance of roles, transparency, skills, commitment, trust, collaboration, and decision-making that might be involved in sharing and evaluating open ed content.

Tasks

• Choose a piece of content created by your OER project or another OER project, which has metadata/descriptors attached.
• As a large group, reflect on the metadata/descriptors by asking: Who says? Why do I trust this metadata?
• Brainstorm and create a list of things you would want to know about someone in an online network for peer-production of open content. Ask: What is it that I would want to know about this person to trust or read their evaluation of the content?
• Brainstorm and create a list of things you would be willing to share about yourself. Ask: If I were the creator of this content, what would I need or want to tell about myself to make others interested in collaborating with me or using my content?
• Discuss the lists. Is the first list different from the second list? What would make it safe or inviting for users to share “all” about themselves?
