Course Content

Open Educational Resources (OER for short) are educational materials that are freely accessible and can be edited, adapted, and shared without violating copyrights. This succeeds because so-called "open licenses" or public domain materials are used for this purpose.

This course introduces the concept of Open Educational Resources for students and teachers at universities. OER are not only an important educational policy issue for international associations such as UNESCO, OER are also part of the call for "Open Science".

The course will also show how and where OER can be found and published. And of course, open licenses such as CC-0, CC BY and CC BY-SA will be explained.

The background to this multilingual MOOC offer is the joint project "Unite! OER courses" of all nine universities of the European University Alliance Unite!.

Course Goals

You will know the background and potential of OER, be able to use materials with open licenses in a copyright-compliant manner and know where to find and publish OER. You will know open Creative Commons licenses and be able to apply them.

Previous Knowledge

General Internet knowledge and interest in using and creating educational resources.

Course Procedure

The course comprises 4 weeks or units. Each unit will include videos and advanced materials and a self-test to review what has been learned. A discussion forum provides the opportunity to reflect, discuss or elaborate on the topic with other learners.

Certificate

For active course participation, you will receive an automatic confirmation of participation from iMooX.at with user name, course details and confirmation of at least 75% correctly answered self-assessment questions. In addition, you will receive Open Badges for all completed units and the entire course.
