Workshop on Open Educational Resources
The Commonwealth of Learning has developed a one-day workshop to introduce institutions to Open Educational Resources (OER).
The purpose of this website is to provide participants with the presentations, documentations and links that are used in the above workshop. It can also be used by individuals as a self-directed activity to understand how OER can be used, re-used and re-purposed to support teaching and learning in open and distance learning (ODL) contexts.
The resources on this website are either new materials or re-purposed materials licensed under the Creative Commons Licences.
