Submission name: How might we make Open Educational Resources more easily editable to better serve local contexts
Contact lead: brady@sparcopen.org
Issue area: #OpenEducation
Region: #Global
Issue Type: #Challenge
Description
Because a lot of OER come in PDF format, users are unable to exercise the 5R's (revise, remix, reuse, retain and redistribute) at ease. Further a lot of OER is written in an American context, which can be a problem for local communities who desire to be reflected in the content within their learning resources. For example in the Canadian context, there may be a need to translate content into French or an indigenous language, or more broadly speaking the examples used within the resource should be relevant to assist users.
How can others contribute?
