Title: OER @ TDL: OER Course Marking: Promoting Open & Affordable Resources
Date and Time: Wednesday, July 30 | 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm Central Time
Course marking—the practice of designating courses that use open educational resources (OER) or other no- or low-cost resources—helps students identify affordable course options in their class schedules, enabling them to make informed decisions when they register for classes. In addition to providing valuable information to students, course markings also help institutions assess the use and impact of OER. However, it can be challenging to initiate and maintain this process of marking courses, which often involve a large number of stakeholders across the institution. In this session, we will hear how three institutions have initiated and improved upon course marking processes for their students. They will share their challenges, successes, and future plans to establish sustainable course marking workflows in order to better promote open and affordable resources.
