Join us to Celebrate Open Education Week 2018!

written by Meredith Bratland February 20, 2018

From March 5th through 9th, 2018 universities, colleges, schools and organizations around the world will be celebrating Open Education Week, including the University of Alberta.

 

Open educational resources (OER) are any freely available material or media that facilitates teaching and learning. The possibilities for OERs are endless and they can include videos, podcasts, presentations and even textbooks. OERs provide faculty the flexibility to share, collaborate and draw on course materials from around the world, while reducing the cost of higher education by challenging expensive textbook prices. OERs also provide a practical and effective way to facilitate lifelong learning, an essential skill in our changing and complex world.

Learn how OERs can strengthen teaching, engage students, and promote student well-being by attending the University of Alberta’s Open Education Week events.

Planned sessions include

Surgery 101 – How we Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Open Education
