In this UTSA Libraries & UTSA Academic Innovation sponsored panel, hear perspectives on open educational resources (OER) from a variety of UTSA stakeholders. UTSA Student Government will share the stresses of textbooks and why OER are a great fit for UTSA students. UTSA faculty will share how they are creating OER for their courses: including motivations for designing and tailoring OER for improved student engagement. Academic department chairs will share how they encourage faculty to adopt and create OER. You’ll also learn about the impact of OER adoption on DFW rates as well as platforms and support available to all UTSA faculty adopting or creating OER.
By attending this course, participants will be able to:
• Assess the benefits of OER.
• Analyze the impact of OER on student engagement.
• Identify how to implement OER resources into your courses.
