Using Open Educational Resources in Adult Education
Abstract: Open Educational Resources (OER) continue to explode and, fortunately, in the direction of Adult Education! In this session, participants will review OER concepts and their related five licensing definitions, explore OER online that can be effectively used in Adult Ed, identify repositories for OER content, develop search techniques, evaluate lesson plans to meet open classroom requirements, and contribute to the process of posting and remixing OER through OER Commons. OER is for all educators, no matter what their role or field of interest. Everyone is invited to participate and everyone, thereafter, is invited to share OER for and by adult learners. Looking for a publishing niche? That’s it!
