PROJECT

Creating Dynamic Online Courses

There are many educators who are creating content for teaching and learning. If they could be shown how to create online content, or convert their courses into an online environment they would be able to reach more participants. In addition, once the content is in digital format they might be more likely to make it available freely under a Creative Commons license. Part of the course would be to cover OER and CC licenses.

Project resources are available at:

The talk is a part of the Open Education Design – Course for Practitioners 2018 event filmed and produced by Videolectures.NET.
