This presentation provides an overview of working with open educational resources (OERs). It defines OERs and introduces the different Creative Commons licenses and how to properly attribute OERs using the TASL framework. The presentation outlines include an introduction and survey, a section on Creative Commons licenses and an activity to practice attributing images, and a section on finding and using OER resources. The outcomes are to understand the Creative Commons licenses, correctly attribute open resources, and locate information about OERs and open textbooks.
