OER Day 2021
As a part of our efforts to promote the use of open access material, Ontario Tech University will be hosting OER Day on January 20th from 11 am to 2 pm.
This will be a great opportunity to learn about the benefits of OER as well as to receive guidance on accessing these resources.
Professors interested in gaining some insight on incorporating OER into their classes will be able to hear from leading advocates in the field, as well as some of our own faculty members who have had success with free alternatives to traditional course materials.
