SUMMARY:Getting Started with Open Educational Resources (OER) 
DESCRIPTION:Have your students ever asked you\, “Do I really need the 
 textbook?” or “Is a previous edition OK?” With the high cost of 
 textbooks and the transition to alternate delivery models due to the 
 COVID-19 pandemic\, using open educational resources (OER) such as open 
 textbooks can significantly increase student learning and success. The Open 
 Education movement is based on faculty taking back control of the content 
 delivered in the classroom. Faculty create resources based on their 
 particular circumstances and then license them so that others can similarly 
 use\, reuse\, or adapt them.\n\nWhether you’re just looking for an open 
 textbook to use or you’d like to use a number of resources to align with 
 your course’s learning outcomes\, join Brenda Smith\, Open Education 
 Librarian for a webinar to equip you with tips and best practices on how to 
 find and evaluate OER to use in your teaching and how to read Creative 
 Commons licences. Participants will leave this workshop with an 
 understanding of the variety of sources and collections that exist for 
 OER\, as well as several tools they can use when evaluating content for 
 quality and relevancy\, and learn how the TRU Library can support you with 
 integrating OER into your teaching.
