Full description

This template is a working document for authors of La Trobe eBureau open educational resources (OER). It helps authors propose a developmental plan for their chapter through collaboration with the editors of the OER. The goal is to shape the direction, scope, structure, and learning design of the chapter before full drafting begins.

This template differs from traditional textbook chapters in its learner-centred design, represented by the OER content quality rubric. The template is designed to be used alongside the La Trobe eBureau author guides.

The underlying principles of this approach are represented in the Educational Principles and Quality Rubric:

  • open textbooks should differ from traditional textbooks in pedagogy, not just accessibility
  • our OERs express concepts and practice in a way that speaks to the “hearts and minds” of learners
  • the goal is to develop emerging practitioners or critical thinkers, rather than just provide open access information
  • context is key - communicating facts and concepts alone is of limited value in a rapidly changing world
  • effective learning and development is deeply human, developmental, and contextual

We encourage you to adapt this template for your own OER project or open education program.
