Faculty members will gain insights into the challenges and benefits of integrating OER into their classrooms, learn how universities have successfully implemented OER, and discover the process of creating, finding, evaluating, adapting, and sharing OER materials to cater to diverse learning needs. Participants will also delve into various licensing options and their implications for OER usage and distribution and be equipped to assess their teaching materials for the potential to release as OER. This session will be held virtually on Thursday, October 19 from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Dr. Mairette Newman and Professor Jane-Frances Agbu will be the featured presenters.
