Why is everyone talking about Open Educational Resources (OERs) and how do I get started? Online
Method, practice, and inspirational comfort from Umeå University Library
This webinar will explore the possibilities and pedagogical approaches when creating Open Educational Resources (OERs) in higher education.
Anna-Karin, Therese, and Johanna will introduce a method that you can use or find inspiration in when creating OERs and they will present the process from start to feedback from course participants – in short, this is an invitation to follow their journey with creating OERs.
And yes – you will have to kill some darlings in the process of making an OER that enhances learning.
The focus of the webinar is on providing inspiration as well as on practical tips on how to get started when building your own OERs and the goal is that you will find the confidence to start creating OERs at your own university or institution.
The webinar is free of charge.
