OER Basics Course

This course is a self-paced version of the ASCCC OERI Introduction to OER Course. Topics covered include open licensing, open pedagogy, accessibility, curation of resources, and research about how OER affects student success. 

At the end of this course successful participants will be able to:

  1. Properly identify the Creative Commons (CC) license on a resource and describe how this resource can and cannot be used.
  2. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of open resources using current research in the field as evidence.
  3. Research, analyze, and review repositories of open resources.
  4. Effectively search for open resources and post reviews in an OER repository.
  5. Create an open resource by remixing multiple existing resources and designate a license to this new resource based on the licenses of multiple resources use.

Grading and Completion

Each unit of the course consists of at least one multiple-choice quiz that can be taken as many times as necessary to earn a perfect score. Earning 100% on the quiz will unlock the next module. The last module will contain a cumulative test. Like all the other assessments, you must earn 100% and have multiple attempts. Completion of this test will earn the Into to OER Course Badge.

Participants can expect to spend at least 20 hours on the course content.
