Affordable Design: Integrating Open Educational and Library Resources
Schedule:
Wednesday, May 13, 2026, 01:00 PM – 02:00 PM
Location:
Online - Microsoft Teams
Excellent open educational resources (OERs), library-licensed materials, and fair dealing provisions in copyright provide practical pathways for incorporating lower-cost course materials into your courses. This session explores how faculty can adopt, adapt, or create resources that reduce the financial burden on students while maintaining academic quality and flexibility in course design.
Your Leddy Librarians will show you how to discover existing OERs and adopt them easily by incorporating them into the Leddy’s course reserves system (Leganto). Your CTL colleagues will highlight how you can edit existing resources to better suit your needs. If you are ready to create a new OER, CTL Learning Specialists can help you design, develop and publish your own affordable learning materials. They can help you flesh out your project outline, scope multimedia, ensure content for accessibility, and publish your OER for your students to use. Come learn more in this session!
