A key feature of Open Educational Resources (OER) is their ability to reduce costs for students. But that is just the start. OER can create opportunities for more engaging, adaptable, and locally-meaningful learning experiences. In this workshop, participants will explore practical ways to find, evaluate, adapt, and integrate open resources into their teaching, while also considering how open education practices can invite students into deeper interaction with course materials. Participants will also learn about a local example of how OER can help dissuade over-use of AI in student writing. The session will feature examples from across disciplines, introduce participants to the Trent “OER? Oh We Are!” guide, and invite faculty to help expand its growing “OER by Discipline” resource collection.
This workshop is part of a series! Throughout the week, drop into any (or every if you feel ambitious) of our workshops this week. We look forward to seeing you there.
