Getting Started with Open Educational Resources
July 20-22, 2021
Adam Dastrup
​

​Workshop Description: Open Educational Resources (OER) are freely accessible, openly licensed texts, images, and other forms of media used for teaching, learning, assessment, and scholarship. OER allows educators to reuse, remix, and redistribute Creative Commons licensed material to their students. Ultimately, OER reduces textbook costs for students, affords instant access to course resources on the first day of class, and provides an opportunity for faculty to create inclusive content that allows students to see themselves in the course material. Over three days, participants attending this workshop will learn how to:
  • Explore how to search for existing Creative Commons licensed material and OER resources.
  • Organize a workflow on how to create and organize OER material.
  • Learn how to find digital images and media that are openly licensed as Creative Commons.
  • Appropriately license OER material with the correct Creative Commons license. 
  • Discover various ways to publish OER material.
