Webinar: Creating and Sharing Open Educational Resources (OER)

This webinar explores how to share resources that you have developed as open educational resources (OER) in order to facilitate sharing and reuse by others. Key topics will include choosing an open licence, creating an open licence, and considerations for sharing and reuse. This webinar uses the National Forum Open Licensing Toolkit as a reference guide.
The webinar, facilitated by Catherine Cronin (National Forum), features three guest speakers, each of whom share their experiences of creating and sharing OER developed in previous National Forum-funded projects, including what they learned in the process:
* Orna Farrell, Assistant Professor and Programme Chair of DCU Connected Humanities, Dublin City University -- #Openteach: Professional Development for Open Online Educators
* Gearóid Ó Súilleabháin, Head of Technology Enhanced Learning, Cork Institute of Technology -- TELU: Open Online Resources for Teaching with Technology
*Iain MacLaren, Director of the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching, NUI Galway -- All Aboard! Digital Skills in Higher Education
The webinar also shares how the National Forum supports the use of open licensing and OER, specifically for initiatives funded under the Strategic Alignment of Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund but also for other work developed by staff and students in Irish higher education.
This webinar supports the National Forum’s current strategy to promote agile, responsive approaches to teaching and learning in an open digital world and to provide targeted support for those who guide and support the use of technology in teaching and learning.

Thank you National Forum, great information about OERs and Creative Commons here. You have inspired me to think about creating an OER
