OER CoP 2024 | Diving into Open Waters: An Introduction to Open Educational Resources
Channel: University of Adelaide Library
Date: 2024-03-08

Presented by Tom Crichton (Coordinator, Artificial Intelligence Literacy & Open Educational Resources) on Tuesday, 5 March 2024.

In this first webinar of the Open Educational Resources Community of Practice (OER CoP) for 2024, held during international Open Education Week, attendees learnt all about the discovery, adoption, and creation of free and open access learning materials.

Learn how open educational resources help make education more equitable by providing free and flexible access to learners and teachers alike, and hear how you can adopt open resources to enhance your own teaching.

You will also hear about opportunities and grants for academics at the University of Adelaide to publish their own open access textbooks, including the support that's available through the Australian and New Zealand OER Collective initiative, facilitated by the Council of Australian University Librarians.
