Presenters: Jamie Baxter (Associate Professor, Faculty of Law), Linda Macdonald (University Teaching Fellow, Faculty of Management), and Leanne Stevens (University Teaching Fellow and Associate Dean, Academic, Faculty of Science)
Online: Teams
Description: OER week (March 6-10, 2023) is a global celebration of open educational practices. These practices enable the creation, sharing, copying and distribution of knowledge. Through implementation of the 5Rs of Retain, Reuse, Revise, and Remix, and Redistribute, OERs provide openly accessible material and activities to all students in or across courses. These resources are also available to faculty, among others, who are looking for available material to use in their own courses.
In this session three Dalhousie instructors will share their experiences creating digital OER disciplinary textbooks and will share what worked, lessons learned, and next steps in their work. Please join us to learn more about OER textbooks and how they can support and enhance students’ learning in your courses.
