Over the next ten weeks or so I’ll be looking at the viability and results of different methods and approaches to reusing and remixing OERs for David Wiley’s Intro to Open Ed course.
I would love to see examples of your reuses/remixes so I can highlight them in future posts, and gain new ideas and insights. Please comment, pingback, or e-mail me URLs or details!
My students did some interesting remixes last summer, using Mahara.
Thanks Tony, I will check those out, And using Mahara, no less? I’ve been playing with that a bit myself this winter.
Seems to be slow uptake here, but I’ll keep this open and keep posting examples I found.
John Kuti of Saint Petersburg State University won the UK Open University’s 2007 Remix competition by adding localization and interactive value to an existing OpenLearn course.
Hi
If you search on the OpenLearn website’s LabSpace for ‘public contributions’ you will see examples of remixed content on OpenLearn. When you click through from the search results to see the example, look for the versions block on the page to see links to the original content and all remixed versions. Public contributions are clearly marked. You can see one example here – look at the versions block for links to the two remixes of the course Meiosis and Metosis.

Laura, thank you for pointing out a couple of examples. I knew LabSpace was a place for remixes, but unfortunately haven’t yet had time to go through the public contributions with the attention to detail that I would like to.
Are there indicators on the LabSpace site that indicate something like % changed in public contributions?
Another remix example from the UK Open University’s Tony Hirst:
…a ‘representation’ of an MIT OCW course in which i turned all the pages into RSS, and then ‘remixed’ the course presentation as an OPML file that can be viewed in eg a Grazr widget: http://ouseful.open.ac.uk/blogarchive/010211.html
You might look at some of the video remixes my students did a few years back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsFU3sAlPx4 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQvLRXpGbzk and http://openwaterproject.org/media/
