Welcome to OK OER Collaborations!
Your learning path includes a series of self-paced online learning modules, which will guide you to and through the accompanying textbook, Open Educational Resources: Basics & Beyond. The course and textbook are designed to serve as an introduction to open educational resources (OER) as well as an opportunity for further exploration and discovery of OER and open education practices. Throughout the course, there are opportunities for you to test your knowledge or further explore a concept. The modules allow you to learn at your own pace. While you can follow the modules in any order, it is recommended that you start with Module One and progress through in order. Each chapter of the textbook includes an interactive quiz or other activity that allows you to self-check for understanding, and then you should return here to the module to complete an activity that will allow you to further review significant points covered and demonstrate understanding.
