Hi all,

Please share with anyone who might be interested.

Announcing a free fall professional development opportunity! An open course on open educational practices will run from September 16 through November 10.

Course Outcomes - Participants will:

1. Develop an understanding and appreciation for open content and open educational practices
2. Identify potential open resources for use in their educational environments
3. Create and edit open resources using wikis, Pressbooks, and multimedia
4. Apply accessibility and UDL concepts to open resources
5. Understand and apply basic instructional design concepts
6. Develop a lesson based on open educational practices for use in their classes

Course Outline:

1. Introduction
2. Open Educational Resources
3. Wikis
4. Pressbooks
5. Multimedia
6. Accessibility and UDL
7. Instructional Design
8. Final Project

The course is intended as a graduate-level introduction to open educational practices. Completing all activities and participating fully in course discussions is expected to require 8-10 hours each week. However, the course is designed to support learning at all levels of engagement. If one hour a week is all you have available, you should still find the experience beneficial and rewarding.
