Open Educational Resources at Sheridan
Open educational resources (OERs) are freely available, high quality learning materials that can be downloaded, edited, and shared to better serve all students (SPARC’s definition). OERs are part of the open movement because they help:
-
Reduce or eliminate textbook costs for students
-
Improve students’ ability to enroll and complete their courses
-
Enhance curriculum and pedagogy since faculty can curate materials and contextualize content with local examples based on their students’ interests
-
Support an academic program’s transition to a zero-textbook-cost model
Visit Sheridan Library’s OER Guide to learn more about OERs and how the Library can help you get started with using or creating these resources.
