Today's Message

The Faculty Development Center, Instructional Resources, and Butler Library will host the workshop "Open Educational Resources and Creative Commons: An Overview" for faculty members on Thursday, September 18, from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. in Butler Library 316. OERs are part of a growing trend in education, but they can be difficult to define and identify.

This workshop, the first in a series called Understanding OER, will address questions such as

• What are open educational resources (OERs) and how are they used in a classroom?
• Can these tools help improve my teaching and my students’ learning?
• What are the different types of Creative Commons licenses and how do they promote the sharing of educational resources?

Register for this workshop.
