OER Toolkit Launch
Humber Libraries in collaboration with College Libraries Ontario is proud to announce the official launch of the Open Educational Resources (OER) Toolkit.
The OER Toolkit is a one-stop guide to open educational resources, providing faculty and staff with tools and information to understand, engage with, create, and sustain OER in their work and practice. The Toolkit is designed to be used by anyone involved with OER at their college, whether you are part of a team that is collaborating to create OER, or an instructor seeking to incorporate OER and open pedagogy in the classroom. The primary purpose of the Toolkit is to support faculty and library staff at Ontario colleges; however, it is openly available for use beyond the Ontario college community.
Do you have ideas for using or adopting OER but are looking for collaborators? Here are some ways Humber Libraries can help you:
- Collect and do initial vetting of supplementary materials
- Use advanced search skills to find exactly what is needed
- Give options for ways that students can access resources
- Advise on how to make resources more accessible
- Advise on issues of copyright and fair dealing
- Advise on the use of Creative Commons licenses
