Preparation

• Check that your PC is connected to the internet and that it also has a working browser

• Open a text editor of your choosing– You will need this throughout the game

Starting the Game

• Beneath the keyboard of the computer in front of you, you will find a card that contains your role– Pupil/student or Educator

• For the remaining of the game you will retrieve OER, appropriate for use by the role that you are assigned to

Process

• In each round, a repository card appears on the screen in front of you, as well as a subject card and an age card

• In this repository, you will search for OERs for the specific subject, appropriate for your role and also for the age group that the cards indicate

Example 1

• You’re a pupil and you are looking within Photodentro LOR, for OERs for the Pythagora’s Theorem, targeted to your age group, that is 9-12 years old

Phase B

Mixing & Matching OERs

Creating Groups

• Each group will have 3-4 members and will work on a specific subject preparing complex OERs

• The results of the searches of Phase A will be used during this part– If you want, you may search for additional OERs in

this phase, but you will have to pay a price*

Process

• The team that has the winner of the previous phase, gets to pick a subject first

• If more than one winners came out, the team of the oldest winner starts– The rest go clockwise

Process

• You have 40 minutes at your disposal to prepare two remixed OERs– 1 for educators for the age range that was

selected in Phase A for the specific subject– 1 for pupils, also for the same age range that was

selected in Phase A for the same subject– Each remixed OER should contain from 2 to 5

OERs

*Looking for Extra OERs

• If the OERs from Phase A are not enough, you can get an extra repository card and search within it for an OER

• If you do that, then you can have as many as 4 (and not 5) OERs in your remixed OER

Preparation

• You have 10 minutes to prepare your presentation– Written, with gestures, narration, but not on the

PC!– Split the roles and work together – collaborate– Improvise!– As a team…

Presentation

• You will get 2 minutes to present each one of the two OERs that you create

• No questions at this stage, as all of them can be asked and answered during the discussion part

Open Conversation

• Is it easy to search for OER?• Were the results of your searches satisfying?

Why? Why not?• Was it easy to mix OERs? Which were the

challenges?• Is searching the same when you are a student

and when you’re an educator? How are they different?
