This OER training course provides faculty with an opportunity to explore open educational resources (OER) and discern how OER can be integrated in their courses to improve both the faculty experience and the student learning experience. Topics related to OER licensing, discovery, adoption, adaptation, and creation will be covered with many different faculty examples, helping participants see a range of opportunities and the role of iteration in OER work. The course also addresses the importance of accessibility, ways to improve representation and work toward equity, opportunities in open pedagogy, and how faculty can get recognition for OER work. Participants will have many opportunities to make connections to their own courses.
This course is 100% online and Self Paced. Students are expected to complete the course within the scheduled course dates. Students will access the course via the MSU Denver Canvas platform.
