The world of open educational resources is colourful and diverse. In this workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals and receive step-by-step guidance for navigating the OER landscape.

Open Educational Resources (OER) not only provide free access to teaching and learning materials; they also enable straightforward reuse and adaptation. But what exactly falls under the OER umbrella? Which licences support sharing, using, and modifying materials? Where can you find open resources, and how can you contribute your own materials as OER?

This session introduces the core concepts of OER and illustrates their practical use. Participants will receive hands-on tips for working with OER and an overview of relevant platforms and resources.

Content:

• Definition and significance of OER
• Basic know-how for finding, using, adapting und publishing OER

• Practical examples

Goals:

• Participants understand the fundamentals of Open Educational Resources (OER)
