Many faculty have highly relevant experience in this dynamic field. OER offers the unique ability to provide up-to-date information to students and improve on the out-of-date information often provided by the textbook publishers.



I will discuss and demonstrate how faculty can build upon available OER materials and provide additional insight (E.g., Enlightenment philosophy's influence on the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and Technological and Regional Security Challenges) in their teaching materials.
