This workshop will equip participants with the necessary knowledge to find, reuse, remix, create and strategize Open Educational Resources (OER) for their institution. During the first two sessions, we will explore and discuss together the concept of OER, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), Creative Commons (CC), business models, and variety of OpenCourseWare (OCW) case studies and content development tools. In the third session, participants will be required to work in groups (hands-on) to conceptualize an OER strategy. In the final session, we will discuss how to move forward with OER at our institutions.
