• Open Educational Resources (OERs) have the potential to enhance education across the globe by facilitating the sharing, reuse and adaptation of learning materials. The range of materials that constitute OERs is quite broad covering lecture materials, textbooks and entire courses at every level of education (from pre-kindergarten to graduate level materials). This workshop will focus on factors related to finding, using, creating and sharing OERs, and highlights how educators can enhance their own teaching, share their materials with others and some critical concerns within the OER movement.
