OER Workshop Series: Finding Open Educational Resources

Abstract
Existing OERs are housed in many different locations, meaning that they can sometimes be difficult to find. In this session, we will provide an overview of how to begin a systematic search for an OER appropriate to your course needs, and outline supports available to instructors for finding and evaluating OER. By the end of this workshop, learners will be able to: Describe key aspects of an OER that should be assessed before use; Conduct a preliminary search for OER; Identify key search tools for finding OER, openly licensed media, and ancillary content. OER Workshop Series developed by Christie Hurrell, Sarah Adams, Alexandra Alisauskas, Rowena Johnson, and Kate Cawthorn.
