Robin DeRosa - Open Education: Reducing Costs, Transforming Pedagogy (UPEI Webinar) Oct 24

Join us Monday October 24, 2016 1:30 pm (AST) in Robertson Library Room 312 OR connect virtually.
Speaker: Robin DeRosa, Plymouth State University, New Hampshire

Open Educational Resources have the ability to eliminate the costs to students for textbooks and other learning materials, but they also empower students and faculty to work in new ways.  This presentation will explore how we can save money for students, while also transforming our teaching and radically centering learners in their own educations.  We will take a look at how free, openly-licensed digital materials can be incorporated into any course in any discipline, and explore new ways of using technology to connect our students and their work to the world outside of the the university.

This event is part of our celebrations for International Open Access Week October 24-30, 2016.
