This presentation will explore the potential of Open Educational Resources (OER) to enhance online learning and promote equitable access to education. We’ll discuss the value of OER for both faculty and students, including how OER can reduce the financial burden on students and provide faculty with more time to focus on teaching and research. Learn practical tips for librarians to support faculty in their OER efforts, such as providing guidance on copyright and licensing, as well as facilitating workshops and training sessions.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this class, students will be able to:
Understand the advantages of OER, such as reduced costs, increased flexibility, and improved student outcomes.
Discover effective strategies for finding high-quality OER and incorporating them into course materials.
Persuade faculty to adopt OER and overcome common barriers.
