Open Educational Resources (OER) are free or low-cost alternatives to costly commercial classroom materials. OER materials are not just textbooks! OER materials include syllabi, tutorials, quiz banks, slides, textbooks, and even full courses. They are peer-reviewed and published with an open license, which gives professors the ability to download, edit, and share them without worrying about copyright.
Join us for a webinar series exploring how to move your course to these amazing resources.
The webinars will be recorded and all registrants will receive a link to the recording. Webinars are scheduled to be one hour with time for Q&A both recorded and unrecorded. If you have any questions, please contact us at ask@udc.libanswers.com.
