    Description
    Overview of Open Educational Resources (OER) and the use of free public domain materials for teaching and learning. Aims to build participants' knowledge and skills to find, adapt, repurpose, and create accessible OER for use in education and training environments. Course topics include OER terminology, OER quality, copyright and fair use issues, sources and repositories of public domain materials in various disciplines, technical issues regarding accessibility, and uses of Creative Commons. Participants explore and analyze: OER tools and standards available to develop, organize, and disseminate content; public domain learning materials; searching techniques for identifying public domain learning materials; professional collaboration strategies; and criteria for assessing the suitability of public domain learning materials for use in various disciplines. Participants create a lesson, activity, or training module that incorporates OER, or create an OER for an identified purpose.
