Session 07A | Ins and Outs of Publicly Available Resources: Traversing the OER Landscape

Abstract

This session will discuss research which examines currently available OERs and compares their characteristics to traditional texts. In addition, it offers an overview of creative commons licensing and criteria for evaluating OER texts. The presenters welcome an audience of instructors at all levels of OER implementation--from those skeptical of the use of OERs to those already committed to "going OER" in their classrooms.
