OER Creator Workshop ended on a high note
Our OER Creator Workshop series ended on Tuesday, 6 December 2022.
We had over 8 weeks to meet, share new ideas, to connect and collaborate, and the group started to grow as a Community of Practice. The ZHAW OER Team led through the OER Creator Workshop series and were point of contact for all participants around learning resources in terms an open licence and Open Educational Resources (OER). With Alireza Darvishy and Oriane Pierrès from the ICT Accessibility Lab onboard, the focus was firmly set on accessibility of open learning resources. The group has an open group area on OER Commons. We will continue to develop and grow as a community.
