Researching OpenLearn has proved a complex and interesting challenge – data is hard to grasp not least because of the very openness which makes OER valuable. But also because it is not just the products that matter but also the process and the role OER has in sparking changes.
Action research into products and processes requires consideration and acceptance of a wide range of approaches, outputs and people.
Action research for OpenLearn has focussed on key actors and their differing contexts
Researching has involved many methods – eye tracking, remote observation, self recording, surveys, capturing case studies as knowledge maps and use of theoretical perspectives – but also many different people on the team and in the OU – formal researchers, other academics, internal users, student support staff, technical and media staff, and administrative staff.
Browsing and registered Learners have been tracked, observed, surveyed and interviewed. Most are bounce users but amongst heavy users there are two clusters - volunteer students (more interested in content and assessment) and social learners (more interested in communicating and collaborating with others).
Individual educators have used freedoms and tools offered in LabSpace to experiment, using content as is, modifying, publishing their own material, helped drive technical changes and been involved in learning design research.
LabSpace has allowed informal collaboration and experimentation with institutions and projects that has helped reputation.
