Transforming the Curriculum with OER and Open Education

Using, creating, and sharing open educational resources (OER) is an effective way to engage staff and students in the co-creation of learning experiences, encouraging interdisciplinarity and open scholarship, while developing a wide range of transferable digital skills and graduate attributes.

In this information session we will look at the ways in which open educational practices and open educational resources are being used across the university and the benefits this provides including:

• transforming and diversifying the curriculum,
• improving digital skills for both staff and students,
• engaging students in the co-creation of their own learning experiences,
• creating legacy, impact and resources that can be reused by other communities and organisations,
• providing concrete examples of skills and knowledge that students can use towards their professional careers.

This session is open to staff in all roles and will be run by Lorna Campbell. Lorna has almost twenty years of experience working in education technology and manages the OER Service within Information Services at the University of Edinburgh.

This will be delivered online via Collaborate.  Attendee’s should make themselves aware of the best practise advice from Collaborate before joining the session: Collaborate Session Best Practices
