Supporting OER Creation
Abstract
Cost savings realized through use of open educational resources (OER) draw much interest from policy makers and administrators, but the rhetoric of affordability isn’t always a powerful motivator for the educators who make crucial decisions about which materials to adopt in their courses. In this presentation, a library publisher discusses factors that drive instructor engagement with OER and policies, processes, and platforms necessary to support OER creation.
