About this workshop
This session will introduce Open Educational Resources (OER) and their benefits for students and staff at UQ. OER are free or affordable learning resources that can be adapted to incorporate local context, a diversity of viewpoints, and Indigenous perspectives. Open Textbooks @ UQ, a Pressbooks network, can facilitate the production of open textbooks for use in UQ courses, and a demonstration of this platform will be included in the seminar.
Several OER projects and publications will also be showcased, including the first two published UQ OER, JUNTXS and +JUNTXS, which were authored for multiple Spanish language courses. These resources incorporated strategic use of UQ-supported active learning tools such as H5P and Padlet to create interactive tasks and engagement with the course content. We will also hear about an OER textbook being authored for a first-year course in the School of Dentistry, incorporating co-creation through two Student-Staff Partnerships.
