OER Course for Instructors
 |
Transform Your Teaching with Open Educational Resources, a course developed by the Mansfield Library and UMOnline, is open to all UM and Missoula College instructors. The course includes a series of nine self-paced, online learning modules that provide in-depth coverage of OER, Creative Commons licensing, finding and evaluating OER, and open pedagogy. Take the entire course, or dip into the individual modules that are relevant to your needs. Each module includes a downloadable "key takeaways" document for easy access to key concepts and useful links. Contact Wendy Walker with questions. |
