Open Educational Resources
What are they and how you can use them in your teaching
In this workshop we will learn what Open Educational Resources (OER) are, where and how to find them, and how they can best be applied to your teaching practice. The workshop will begin with clips from a recent summer course design institute where Kevin Corcoran, Executive Director of the Connecticut Distance Learning Consortium, described OERs and their benefits to higher education. Next, we will explore various OER resources available at Quinnipiac, including Arnold Bernhard Library’s research guide on OERs and the Galaxy content repository. Finally, ABL librarians and instructional technologists will work with attendees on finding OERs relevant to their discipline and discuss instructional strategies to integrate them into their courses.
This session is jointly presented by the Arnold Bernhard Library and Academic Technology. This session will be one hour and attendees should bring a working laptop.
