Wed, Sept 14:  Finding & Adopting Open Educational Resources

Faculty who are new to OER may experience difficulty finding an open textbook or other openly licensed materials to adopt for their courses.  Searching on your own is time consuming and the choices can be overwhelming.  Join us for this webinar featuring a college librarian who helps faculty find high quality OER to match their course outcomes and the creators of the award winning OER Commons,  a freely accessible online library that allows teachers and others to search and discover open educational resources (OER) and other freely available instructional materials.

Featured Speakers:

  • Heather Blicher, Online Learning Librarian, Extended Learning Institute, Northern Virginia Community College
  • Lisa Petrides, CEO/Founder and staff, ISKME.org, the creators of OER Commons

Wed, Oct 12:  Understanding Open Licensing

Open licensing of instructional materials such as textbooks, videos, and other related resources makes possible free sharing and remixing which reduces cost barriers for students.  Creative Commons provides the legal infrastructure for easily sharing creative works including instructional materials but how do the different licenses indicate how a resource can be re-used.  Join us for an interactive session of playbook license scenarios where you test your knowledge of the OER re-use based on license type.

• Wed, Nov 9:  Designing Effective Open Educational Practices and Policies at Community Colleges Panel
