This is a collaborative space for City Tech faculty participating in the Open Educational Resources (OER) Fellowship and is open to anyone interested in OERs and open (digital) pedagogy. Participants will learn about open educational resources (OER), the principles of open pedagogy, and applicable strategies to create OERs. Topics will cover Creative Commons licensing, intellectual property, resources to help locate discipline specific OERs, and strategies to generate cohesive and engaging course materials.

By the end of these seminars, you will be able to define open educational resources and open education, distinguish open educational materials with free materials, interpret and select Creative Commons licenses in the context of OER adoption and creation, find, evaluate, and select OERs, understand how accessibility, instructional design, and usability best practices improve OERs, implement strategies to incorporate dynamic pedagogical material including a variety of content formats (video, image, sound).
