The aim was to illustrate the use of vector graphics to generate an editable teaching resource. We also generated this mini-case study to highlight practical challenges and how they were resolved.\n<\/p>\n<p>The resource was produced using LibreOffice Draw, a graphics software package that can edit vector graphics.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Process<\/b><br \/>\nSearching online for graphic organisers, we found this example of a <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/freeology.com\/graphicorgs\/5-paragraph-essay-graphic-organizer\/\">5 Paragraph Essay Outline<\/a> published by <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/freeology.com\/\">Freeology.com<\/a>.

The plan was to:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> introduce colour\n<\/li>\n<li> add two SVG graphics to the resource\n<\/li>\n<li> re-distribute it as an editable resource for school teachers under an open licence\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Searching the <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a> for SVG icons, we found two emojis:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> The <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Twemoji12_1f914.svg\">Thinking emoji<\/a> in yellow (illustrated in the banner at the top of the image) published by the <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/twemoji.twitter.com\/\">Twemoji project<\/a>, licensed under a CC BY 4.0 licence\n<\/li>\n<li> The <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Emoji_u270d_1f3fd.svg\">Writing Hand<\/a> emoji published by <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Emoji_u270d_1f3fd.svg\">Google&#8217;s noto-emoji<\/a>, licensed under the Apache Licence, Version 2.0 for software\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Challenges<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li> The original resource, published by <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/freeology.com\/\">Freeology.com<\/a>, was in PDF format, which is not easy to edit. In open education, we promote the distribution of OERs using open and editable file formats, so that teachers can easily edit these resources\n<\/li>\n<li> The UNESCO Recommendation on OER promotes inclusive access, so for the Pacific region we wanted to adapt the colour of the yellow Thinking emoji to reflect a medium skin tone. (The Writing Hand emoji was already published as a medium skin tone.)\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Solutions implemented<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li> Using LibreOffice Draw, we generated 7 rounded corner rectangles to re-produce the layout of the original graphic organiser, and added the relevant text headings and coloured backgrounds\n<\/li>\n<li> We added the two SVG emoji graphics to the document. As SVG files, they could easily be re-sized without pixelation. Also, being SVG files, the yellow Thinking emoji colours could easily be adapted\n<\/li>\n<li> After adding the yellow SVG emoji, using LibreOffice Draw, we clicked on the image. Then, via the Menu option: Modify &#8211;&gt; Break, we could separate the image components to recolour these individually\n<\/li>\n<li> The document was saved in two editable file formats: First in .ODG (LibreOffice Draw&#8217;s native file format), then exported as an .SVG file, before also exporting it as a PDF\n<\/li>\n<li> The final resource was licensed for re-use under a <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/igo\/\">Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 IGO<\/a> licence\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>The advantages enabled by OER<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li> By spending a little extra effort converting an openly licensed PDF resource into editable file formats, we have reduced the effort needed for future adaptations.
