OER 101: Incorporating Free and Open Learning Materials into your Classroom

Join us for a panel exploration of Open Educational Resources (OERs) from four faculty members already using them in their classrooms! OERs are educational materials and resources that are freely accessible to use, adapt, and share. As such, they provide a no/low-cost solution to rising textbook costs for students. However, they can also be beneficial in other ways. The ability to share and remix materials allows for a greater exchange of information and ideas and customizing content to a specific course or class can improve student engagement with the material. Learn about practical way OERs have been adopted into the classroom, from using open textbooks, to curating free-to-access resources, to developing your own OERs.
