OER Preparation Course
The OER Preparation Course is a self-paced course designed to provide an introduction to open educational resources (OER). Throughout the modules there are opportunities for faculty to check their knowledge and to further explore concepts. The modules can be followed in any order, but it is recommended to start with Module 1 and progress through in order. The final product is the course map which faculty can share with their library partner.
