Have you ever clicked a YouTube link to learn something new or read a Wikipedia entry? You might be surprised to find that your favourite FSL/FLA YouTube videos, instructional guides for classroom activities or inspiring webinars for your professional development may actually be classified as an Open Education Resource (OER). OER(s) come in a variety of formats including textbooks, courses, multimedia, streaming video, data, tools, and supplementary materials.
The increasing demand for content sharing, co-authoring, peer assessment of knowledge products has created an advocacy for authoring practices that remove barriers to access of educational resources and improve quality of education around the world (UNESCO Recommendation on OER, 2019).
Repertories such as Camerise can foster greater engagement among FSL/FLA educators, researchers, parents and caregivers, educational leads, policy makers and tool developers who wish to increase access to OERs and Open scholarship with the goal to support students and educators’ success in their teaching and learning of French.
By engaging in Open Science, Camerise stakeholders and users can pioneer the transformation and regenerate the FSL/FLA education ecosystem and its scholarship.
