I don’t want too much time to slide by before getting a share in for an OEWeek event hosted by @JeffDowning representing OEGlobal Member ScholarRX and featuring active Connect members @openhpecollective the Open Health Professions Education Collective
Jeff provided an overview of RxBricks from ScholarRX a compelling platform for creating cleanly designed and instructionally sound learning content in the health professions.
Rx Bricks are bite-sized, interactive learning experiences that cover essential medical knowledge across a wide range of topics. Each Brick is carefully crafted by expert faculty and designed to facilitate active learning, critical thinking, and retention. With a focus on core content, Rx Bricks help learners efficiently gain a deeper grasp of the material while allowing faculty to gauge their understanding.
You can explore hundreds of them in the Brick Exchange notably the Rx Essentials Collection many of them openly licensed.
The leaders of the Open HPE Collective Dr. Konstantina Papageorgiou and Dr. Mustafa Alshareefi were on hand to premiere their brand new collection built in RxBricks, a list of 4 bricks (for now) that are part of Open Education in Health Professions Education, all licensed CC BY-SA 4.0
- Understanding Open Education and Open Pedagogy in Health Professions Education (HPE)
- Open Educational Resources (OERs) as Building Blocks for Open Pedagogy
- Licensing and Creative Commons for Health Education
- Co‑Creation in Open Education- From Theory to Implementation
These are based on the Open HPE Collective’s previously published as a PDF as Open Pedagogy in Health Professions’ Education: A Practical Guide (CC BY-SA) or as Mustafa said in the session:
It shows how many shapes an OER can take.
If you are working in the area of health professions I strongly encourage you to connect with or look at the Open HPE Collective, project led and supported by an amazing team of doctors in different regions of the world, a truly global project.
And I hope as well you take a lool at ScholarRX and the Bricks platform (even if you are not interested in the health care fields, it is worth seeing how their platform works).
That was much more than just One Thing but this was such an exceptional session that it deserves more than a social media blip.
There is still time to share one (or more) things you learned over Open Education Week. Show that sharing is not as much a challenge as outlined in the Sharing is a challenge series.
How about overcoming the challenges and share one thing you discovered, heard about during your Open Education Week travels?
