Welcome

Welcome! In this facilitated online training, participants will learn about the benefits of Open Educational Resources (OERs) as replacements for commercial textbooks and other course materials. OERs have special licenses attached that allow them to be revised, remixed, reused, retained, and redistributed, offering flexibility to instructors to customize materials for their courses. The ability to localize OERs offers a unique opportunity to increase student engagement with course content. By the end of the workshop, participants will have gained foundational knowledge and understanding of this global educational movement.

OER 101 is supported by the Office of the Vice President and the Chancellors of the University of Hawaiʻi Community Colleges
