Creating and Publishing Open Educational Resources: A How-to

Abstract

As Open Educational Resources (OER) become more popular on college campuses, educators, librarians, and instructional designers are being charged with more involvement in OER initiatives. Along with these initiatives are new tools used in creating, editing, and adapting OER. The presenters experimented with these tools to create an open text. In this session, we will explore some common tools used in OER publishing as well as key resources to support the publishing process. Familiarity with these tools can help individuals involved with OER initiatives to create OER, answer OER publishing questions, and support OER usage on campus.
