OER: Exploring Open Educational Resources
Course Description
This course is offered by the University of Nebraska Kearney on our UNK Advance platform in partnership with the Online Learning Consortium.
The term open educational resources (OER) was first adopted by UNESCO in 2002 to describe materials used to support education that can be freely accessed, reused, modified, and shared in order to improve the quality of curricula and teaching and reduce costs. In this workshop, you will learn where to find high-quality, openly licensed materials and how to reuse them. We will also cover Creative Commons licensing, attribution of open educational resources, and accessibility considerations.
Learning Objectives
- Identify open educational resources and motivations for using them
- Describe open licenses and how they enable re-use of educational resources
- Analyze best practices for finding and adopting open educational resources
Target Learner
This course is for anyone interested in designing a HyFlex course.
