OER Bootcamp: Finding & Adapting OER for Your Courses: Sessions #2 & #3 of Getting Started with Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Pedagogy Online
Join Sprague Library and the Office for Faculty Excellence for the bootcamp version of our series on OER and Open Pedagogy.
According to SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition), OER are "teaching, learning, and research resources that are free of cost and access barriers, and which also carry legal permission for open use." OER can serve many different purposes, including reducing course costs for students, providing more relevant resources for your course, and filling in gaps in representation.
This session will provide an overview of OER, including what it is and how you can use it, as well as places to find it. It will cover strategies for adapting them and considering the ways in which they can support student engagement and success. It will also include discussion on possible ways to implement Open Pedagogy in your classes. There will be time allocated for you to search for and work on your materials for your classes.
