Abstract

Open Educational Resources (OER) offer an accessible and engaging alternative to commercial textbooks and course materials. OER are educational materials (like textbooks, streaming media, simulations, and more) that are free of cost and access barriers for learners. They are also editable and adaptable, meaning that they can be customized to suit your course content.

This workshop covers:

• The basics of Open Education and Open Educational Resources, and how they benefit the teaching and learning experience

• How to identify Open Educational Resources with Creative Commons Licenses

• Where to find Open Educational Resources that can be used for teaching
