RLO to OER (Unicycle)
S0 you've created an RLO but what can you do with it?
Put it on a VLE
Share file with students
Keep it on your computer
Too many acronyms - what is OER?
Open Educational Resources
That still doesn't help - what is OER?
Educational resources which are:

made available to others publicly
easily discovered

shared with open license
encouraged to be adapted & developed

routinely re-used by both educators and learners
