OER Workshop for Faculty on the Canvas LMS

Too often, faculty do not realize the power of using OER as a teaching tool, let alone know how to search for resources to compliment a course they are teaching. As the teaching landscape changes to more flexible delivery modes, the need for varying teaching and learning resources may increase. At Waukesha County Technical College, the Curriculum Office collaborated with the Director of Library Services to create a brief workshop to acquaint faculty with the concept of OER and repositories available to them for free and open sources. Through a Lightning Presentation, we would like to share our approach in providing faculty with information regarding OER and Library Services to assist them in using materials that are free to students.
