Greetings,
Openly licensed books and other resources – also known as Open Educational Resources (OER) are freely available online under a license that allows reuse, revision and redistribution. In addition to cost savings for students, creating or using openly licensed materials in lieu of commercial textbooks in your course can reap other benefits, including the ability to update or revise the materials as needed.
This workshop will help you:
* understand what Pressbooks is and how it works * find out the basics of open licensing * get to know the Alberta Open Educationhttps://pressbooks.openeducationalberta.ca/ Pressbooks program * know where to find openly licensed books you can use or adapt * try out editing an existing OER on the Pressbooks platform * understand where to get help in creating your own openly licensed work.
Workshop presenters: Rumi Graham (University Copyright Advisor & Graduate Studies Librarian), Emily Villanueva (Science, Sociology & Scholarly Communication Librarian), and Beth Cormier (Faculty of Education Curriculum Librarian)
Room or Area: Workshop will be held on Zoom
Date: Tuesday, June 10th, 2025 - 10:00 AM to 11:15 AM
