About this event
Open Educational Resources (OER) are defined by UNESCO as teaching, learning and research materials in any medium – digital or otherwise – that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation and redistribution by others with no or limited restrictions.
Attendees will hear from a variety of speakers who will discuss international initiatives such as the Open Education Learning Path for Librarians, as well as showcasing examples of local projects and practical actions in this area. This will be followed by time for Q&A.
This event is open to anyone with an interest in increasing access to educational resources and/or opening up teaching and learning practices.
