About this Guide
This guide is a comprehensive roadmap and resource hub for educators and content creators working with Fanshawe’s OER Design Studio to create, adapt, and share high-quality open educational materials. This guide offers instructions, best practices, and insights on designing, developing, and distributing OER.
This guide is a work in progress and will be continually updated. This guide is one of a series of resources to support the development of OER at Fanshawe. See our other publications below.
