OER goes beyond textbooks. From activities to syllabi, faculty around the nation are sharing their content and ideas with one another. The OER movement is based on the desire to improve learning and reduce costs for students but getting started can seem like an overwhelming task. In this session participants will receive an overview of how to begin a systematic search for OER appropriate for their course needs and will learn about support available to instructors researching and evaluating OER. This session will also introduce the basics of the basics of copyright, open licensing and their implications for adopting, adapting or creating OER.

Note: Faculty can receive one point toward their Training and Innovation professional development total for successful completion of this workshop.
