Open Educational Resources and the open movement - ocTEL Webinar Week 3
Channel: ALT
Date: 2014-05-21

This week's webinar is about learning materials, Open Educational Resources, and the open movement in general, and aims to offer a range of opinions and perspectives on the following key questions:

* What do we mean by 'engaging and effective learning materials'?
* How do we find them and how do we evaluate them?
* If we cannot find 'ready-made' materials to suit our purpose, then how do we best create/assemble/stitch together materials to plug the gap(s)?
* What are the pros and cons of using OERs and what do we need to know about them to use them effectively (e.g. licensing and copyright issues)?
