Exploring Open Educational Resources through Blackboard

Andy Mitkos, learning management systems coordinator & Amy Chernowsky, instructional designer

Wednesday, April 25 from 10-10:30 a.m. in Sangamon Hall 0119

Not many people know that Blackboard has a built-in open educational resources system called Blackboard Open Content.  This system is curated and contains course content for a wide variety of subjects.  In this workshop, we will go through the process of looking at the different types of content available, finding content relevant to your course needs, and deploying that content in your Blackboard course shell.

Note: Current online faculty participating in the Online Proficiency Program can receive one point for successful completion of this workshop.
