OER Tutorials

These tutorials (about 30 min. each) were created by CCCOER in the summer of 2020 and are "ideal for faculty, librarians, and instructional designers who are new to OER or need a refresher on basic concepts related to finding, adapting, and teaching with open educational resources."  

Five video tutorials covering the following topics: 

  • Introduction to OER (29:46 min)
  • Copyright and Open Licensing Applied (28:10 min)
  • Searching for OER by discipline (15:55 min)
  • Designing Courses with OER (28:02)
  • Evaluating and Selecting OER (29:39 min)

Each tutorial is accompanied by Google slides and links shared in the chat, where such were provided.

Open Education Lightning Talks: Recordings & Slides
