Slideshow on open educational resources with practical suggestions on how to publish teaching materials online.

The digital age has rung in profound changes for the higher education endeavour – not least of which has been a revolution in the way teaching materials are generated, shared and re-appropriated by means of the internet. This is the realm of OER, a new philosophy in teaching and learning which has the potential to open new channels for the flow of knowledge. OER UCT invites you to explore the unlimited potential to boost your individual academic profile as well as that of your department or faculty by sharing your teaching efforts with the global OER community. This informative session will provide you with an introduction to the realm of OER, provide practical suggestions on how to publish your teaching materials on the internet, and cover aspects relating to copyright and licensing.
