OER Informational Session

Attend this introductory workshop on Open Educational Resources (OER) to learn about the Mines OER mini-grant program. This workshop will include steps you can take to find and adopt, adapt, and develop OER.

The Arthur Lakes Library is soliciting proposals for grants designed to expand the adoption, adaption, or creation of Open Educational Resources (OER) and grow the number of Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) courses on campus. OER are free-accessible or low-cost learning and teaching materials, such as open textbooks, modules, or homework materials. They are licensed to be shared, used, and modified, as long as proper credit is given. ZTC has various definitions from institution to institution. The Mines OER Steering Committee considers courses that use both OER, free (but not openly-licensed) and/or Library resources as ZTC. This grant is open to applications for funding to assist faculty in developing or adapting their courses to ZTC through either OER or Library resources.

Open Educational Resources (OER) are "teaching, learning and research materials in any medium, digital or otherwise, that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation and redistribution by others with no or limited restrictions" ( 2012 Paris OER Declaration, UNESCO, Paris, June 20-22,2012). Open Textbooks are a specific type of OER. They provide a free or low cost substitute for a traditional textbook, however OER are not limited to Open Textbooks.
