Introduction to Open Educational Resources for ITCNetwork
This document summarizes an October 11, 2016 presentation by Una Daly of the Open Education Consortium about open educational resources (OER). The presentation defined OERs, discussed how adopting OERs can reduce costs and improve access and engagement for students, and outlined the steps faculty can take to discover, adopt, and sustain the use of OERs in their courses. Key points included that OERs are teaching materials that are free to use and adapt, textbook prices have risen over 80% in 12 years, and studies have found OER adoptions impact over 100,000 students with equal or better outcomes at a savings of millions of dollars.
