VII module. Manager’s work facilitation by using OER on employment related issue (1)

OERs are “digitised materials offered freely and openly for educators, students and self-learners to use and reuse for teaching, learning and research”. OERs include many different types of digital assets, they consist of various exercises, videos introducing best practices, current results of research, quick tips for finding employment and starting new businesses, etc. and are used for self-directed learning. The exercises of the OERs consist of a combination of open-ended and closed questions. Open-ended questions allow for self reflection while the closed questions allow immediate evaluation.

The set of OERs was developed during the project “E-Mentoring: New skills and competencies for new jobs” (2011-2013), No. 511579-LLP-2010-LT-KA3-KA3MP to facilitate the Mentor’s work with the mentees.
