Difference between "online content" and "open content" (OER)• Much of the content we interact on a daily basis
is online, but that does not necessarily make it open.
• Truly OpenContent can be: – Reused – Revised – Remixed – Redistributed
(Wiley, 2009)
Identifying something to share
• The UCT OpenContent directory hosts openly licensed teaching and learning resources created by academics and students at UCT
o Instructional websiteso Handbooks & guideso Image Collectionso Open textbooks o Presentations o Vula sites o Podcasts
What resources do you have that you could share?

Mediated Learning • What kind of involvement by
the adult is effective in enhancing the child’s performance?
http://education.more4kids.info/page/5/
Zone of Proximal Development
• Transfer of function of awareness to actual development
1. In an interactive situation children can become involved in activities that are more complex than those they could master themselves
2. Joint activity results in the specific function becoming appropriated (internalized) by the child
