Introduction to the Studio
The Fanshawe OER Design Studio supports faculty and staff in researching, adopting, and creating open educational resources (OER) to be used by the Fanshawe community. The goals of the Studio are to provide accessible, high-quality learning materials to the college community while offering practical learning opportunities to students.
All materials created by the Studio are shared under an open license. Products include textbooks, ancillary materials, H5P interactives, videos, software tools and open courses in Fanshawe’s Open LMS. Explore our OER collection and GitHub Site at the links below.
