Event Description

OER Session 1 - Defining OER: The WHAT and the WHY

 

Join us for a Webinar on July 19, 2:00pm to 3:00pm EDT.


What is an Open Educational Resource? Why is the OER movement growing in popularity so quickly? Why would you want to use or create OER materials?
How do you license OER materials?

In the first of this OER webinar series, Cathy Casserly, CEO of Creative Commons, will answer these questions and more in an interview by Mitchell Levy, CEO of Happy About. Cathy is formerly the Director of OER
Initiatives at The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. She was also Senior Partner and the Vice President for Innovation and Open Networks at the Carnegie Foundation. Several OER collections will be reviewed
including College Open Textbooks, Connexions, MERLOT and SoftChalk CONNECT.
