Open Educational Resources at Iowa State

Have you ever considered using free and open instructional materials in your course, but you didn’t know where to start? Maybe you already know what you want to do, but you aren’t certain whether you can do it alone. In these situations, it helps to know the services and support available on campus. You already know what your course needs, so let’s dive into the ways Iowa State supports instructors who want to use OER! 
 
In this presentation, Abbey Elder will highlight the support available for instructors interested in OER based on your interests: come prepared with questions, and leave with answers that are tailored to your needs. 
 
Topics might include: how to locate OER for your course, how to incorporate interactive elements into your open textbook, how to identify funding sources for an OER project, how to leverage OER in your tenure & promotion process, and more!
