Open Education 2017

Curating OER is messy! Each new course brings a new collection of lib guides, websites, spreadsheets, course maps, and piles of post-it notes. Have you ever found the perfect resource and had nowhere to use it, or needed a resource you remember seeing, but couldn't remember which lib guide it was in?

You can save your sanity, and your time with free, easy to use, online tools. In this workshop you will see ways to adapt online pin boards, web clippers, and pivot tables to collect, organize, collaborate, and share. You will take home links to online resource collections, plus tips for replicating and adapting the tools to meet your school's needs.



Librarians, faculty, and instructional design teams can benefit from having a central repository of OER resources that can be used across disciplines. This can be achieved at no cost, built collaboratively, and easily shared. Clean up the mess of research with simple curation!
