Glennie, J. et al. (2012). Perspectives on Open and Distance Learning: OERs and Change in Higher Education: Reflections from Practices. Vancouver BC/Paris: Commonwealth of Learning/UNESCO.
Open education resources (OER) – free to use learning resources, which any faculty member or instructor can use in their teaching whether in class, blended or online – is a fast growing resource. There are over one billion OER resources available for use ranging from full courses (see iTunes University for a catalogue) to individual simulations, statistics labs, science experiments or short videos. This book looks at examples of practice and at some of the challenges faculty members and instructors have found when using OER. It’s a valuable introduction for those just starting to explore what OER can do for them.
