Open Educational Resources (OERs) have been around for almost two decades. Faculty interest in OERs has grown in recent years due to a number of factors. New models of publishing high quality, peer reviewed open textbooks; the soaring cost of textbooks and higher education in general; and a push to transform teaching and learning in higher education have led many faculty to consider both their teaching practices and the content used in the classroom. In this session, you can learn more about OER—what it is and why you might want to consider using it, how to find OER that meets your teaching and learning needs, how you can create and share OER, and what other faculty are doing with OER in their classrooms today. When registering for this event, please indicate if you wish to attend in person or attend via webcast. Registrants will receive attendance information prior to the event.
