Sharing Research Differently: Mobilizing Knowledge with Open Educational Resources (OER)

When: Wednesday, March 4 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. (EST)

Where: Online (MS Teams) [link to recording on YouTube]

Open educational resources (OER) are transforming the way we teach, learn, and share knowledge. But what exactly are OER and why are they important for advancing knowledge mobilization? In this bilingual session, we’ll explore the fundamentals of OER and their role in making knowledge creation more collaborative. You’ll hear from OER creators about their experiences, and we’ll highlight strategies to showcase OER contributions in your dossier for tenure, promotion, or funding applications. This is a bilingual webinar.

Objectives:

  • Discover how OER support the dissemination and sharing of scholarly and educational knowledge
  • Gain insights from researchers who have created an OER with and for the community
  • Explore strategies to showcase OER activities in one’s dossier

Share Your OER Adoption!

When: Until Tuesday, March 31

Where: Online

Are you teaching at the University of Ottawa and assigned an open educational resource (OER) to your students this term? Tell us! Take a few minutes to share your OER adoption with the Library using this form.

Why should you share this information with us? Since 2018, eCampusOntario has been reporting on savings achieved with OER in the postsecondary sector at the provincial level and by institution. For the University of Ottawa, total savings for students are estimated at nearly $750,000, but the data is incomplete. Help us get a more accurate picture of the impact of OER at uOttawa!

The information that you submit will be compiled by the Library and provided to eCampusOntario.
