OERs are "any type of educational materials that are in the public domain or introduced with an open license."

The committee was struck in Spring of 2017 as a sub-committee of the Educational Technology Advisory Committee (ETAC).

The OER Committee has put together some draft workflows to assist faculty interested in using OERs or alternative textbooks and course materials.

OERs developed by faculty at Seneca.

The process of evaluating OERs is similar to evaluating textbooks.

There is a lot of great content already developed but maybe it’s not quite right for your course. The great thing about OERs, in most cases, is you can modify the content as you wish!

You may choose to create your own OER if you cannot find one to adapt, or you may already have content created but would now like to share it.

What material needs to be made accessible? What kind of accessibility statement needs to accompany an open textbook?

Who can help you with OERs?

eCampusOntario has a call for OER reviewers.
