Go Open, Go Free Using OER (Summer 2018)
This training has concluded. The site remains as a resource for others.
May 14-18 2018
In this track, participants will find and incorporate no-cost, low-cost, and creative commons resources as replacements to costly commercial course materials. By adapting and building these resources, designing a complete course project and sharing it in an online repository, participants will be active contributors to the worldwide open educational resources community.
