Getting Started with Open Educational Resources (OER)
On Apr 26, May 25, and Jun 1, join Sprague Library and the Office for Faculty Excellence for a three-part virtual series on Open Educational Resources.
Posted in: Event, News, Special Projects
Join Sprague Library and the Office for Faculty Excellence for a three-part series aimed at helping faculty to:
- learn more about OER,
- find resources for their courses, and
- incorporate them into their pedagogy.
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. Open pedagogy is the practice of engaging with students as creators of information rather than simply consumers of it (description licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License by the University of Texas Arlington Libraries).
