Open educational resources

Open educational resources

           

These are freely accessible, openly licensed documents and media that are useful for teaching, learning, and assessing as well as for research purposes.

Why should we use?

• Minimizing student textbook costs
• Cutting out the publishers to allow for greater flexibility of text and quicker publication for new research and ideas
• Providing examples of excellence for faculty and students
• Promoting partnerships, collaborations, and recognition
• Creating an educational repository that allows for building upon others’ ideas
• Promoting transparency to develop user trust and respect
• Providing a vehicle for contributing to faculty members’ discipline
