 Hi, we are representatives of the ORCA network. We are coordinators at universities in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. We support the new state-sponsored OER portal ORCA.NRW. In this video, we would like to introduce you to our work. OER tracks and the ORCA.NRW network. This is Dr. Jamal Gronstein. He's a researcher and instructor at the University in North Rhine-Westphalia. His research interest is in organic chemistry. He thought of becoming a lawyer at some point, but he found his true passion in mixing different substances and liquids. He's a passionate beekeeper and his bees produce excellent honey. He frequently uses and produces OER as well. Jamal likes to create explanatory videos for his chemistry courses. Until now, the humming of his bees has always been his soundtrack of his videos. The students love Jamal's explainer videos very much, but they are a bit annoyed by the constant humming of the bees. Jamal is a bit frustrated by this. He has a solution. He remembers Nomi Mayer, member of the ORCA network at his university. Nomi is among 37 OER coordinators at public universities in the state. All coordinators are organized in a network. He calls her. Hi, Nomi. How are you? Do you have a minute? Hi, Jamal. It's so good to talk to you. How have you been? Of course I have a minute. How can I help you? You know that I love my bees. The humming is soothing me and increases my concentration. But my students are a bit annoyed that they have to listen to this sound in all of my videos. Aw, don't take it personally, Jamal. Everyone has their preferences. I did some research, though. Recent studies suggest that instructional videos on YouTube are more popular without annoying background noises and with a nice soundtrack. This is why I need some background music. I have something for you, Jamal. Do you remember the website ORCA.NRW? Yes, I think I remember. You can find many different OER for your courses, such as presentations, screencasts and learning modules. Besides those traditional OER, you can also find free music tracks for explanatory videos. My ORCA colleague from the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts produced them with up-and-coming artists for exactly this purpose. The project is called OER Tracks and it features a wide variety of music genres and styles for different kinds of videos. I'm sure there is a track that you and your students will like, too. Alright, I listen to that. Thank you so much. Jamal revises his video and adds a new soundtrack. Now, his videos are even better and his students are happy. And since his peers do not have to pursue their careers as musicians anymore, they have more time to produce delicious honey. Do you want to use this music for your explanatory videos as well? Then check out this website. Bye!
