Course Design with OER as a Strategy to Facilitate Online Instruction
Open Educational Resources (OER) present an opportunity for faculty to refresh and renew their courses and, by means of intentional planning, improve course design and student learning. Faculty can save countless hours on online course preparation by integrating OER into course design and teaching.
What are Open Educational Resources (OER)? “Open Educational Resources (OER) are any type of educational materials that are either in the public domain, or published under open licenses (e.g. Creative Commons) that specify how materials can be used, reused, adapted, shared and modified according to specific needs. They can include textbooks, lecture notes, syllabi, assignments and tests.” (RMIT University)
The session will be offered via MS Teams. The link to join will be provided to all registrants no later than one hour before the start of the session.
