DUT Library webinar on Demystifying Open Educational Resources

Are Open Educational Resources (OER) useful to me as an academic? What are they, and how might I use them in my work?
In this webinar, Dr Tony Lelliott discusses Open Educational Resources (OER) and how they can benefit academics. Open courseware, open textbooks and other resources are becoming more important to enable greater access to teaching and learning for students. As academics, we need to be aware of their potential and understand how we can find, evaluate and adapt them for our purposes, as well as create our resources which we can share with an open licence.
