SUMMARY:POSTPONED TO FALL - Part 1: Finding and Evaluating Open Educational Resources that Support Learning Objectives
DESCRIPTION:If you've been thinking about how to make your courses more 
 affordable and accessible\, this workshop is for you. Open Educational 
 Resources are freely available online. However\, finding and evaluating 
 openly licensed educational resources (OER) requires a unique skill set. 
 Research in adopting OER also suggests that\, in order to improve student 
 learning outcomes\, educators need not only to replace proprietary 
 educational resources with freely accessible open education resources\, but 
 also to re-align assessments\, activities and resources with the course 
 objectives: the content or skills to be covered in this course. In this 
 workshop\, participants will be taken through a step-by-step process for 
 finding and evaluating OER that are aligned with learning objectives for a 
 course they are or will be teaching.\n\nThis is Part 1 in a 2-part series 
 of workshops. In this workshop\, after a short presentation on OER Basics\, 
 participants will analyze their syllabus and idnetify learning objectives. 
 They will then use several search strategies to find and document open 
 resources aligned with learning objectives\, using a tracking document. 
 Once a list of resources has been generated\, participants will evaluate 
 the resources for content\, learning objective-alignment\, and 
 quality.\n\nObjective: By the end of this workshop\, participants will be 
 equipped with the tools and skills needed to find and evaluate OER that 
 support learning outcomes for their courses.  \n\nAudience: Faculty and 
 Instructors at the University of Regina and its federated colleges. (No 
 experience with OER necessary)\n\nWhat to bring: \n\n\n	Participants will 
 need to bring your own device to use for the activities around finding and 
 evaluating OER\n	Participants will need to bring your own syllabus/unit 
 plan to work from.\n\n\nFormat: In-Person. This workshop is designed for 
 in-person delivery. However\, if you are a University of Regina or its 
 federated colleges member and can't make it in-person\, please email 
 open.textbooks@uregina.ca to request a Zoom link. This session will not be 
 recorded.\n\nRegistration will close on June 12 @ 4:30 p.m.
