Open Educational Resources for Online Learning - 3rd Offering

NOUNMOOC

Course Description

Open Educational Resources (OER) are learning materials released under an open intellectual property license or in public domain, allowing free of cost and legal reuse, revision and redistribution (UNESCO 2012).OER has been recognised as a means of providing useful and quality content in the various field of study. However, it is observed that despite the availability of the useful resources, many do not know how to integrate it in teaching and learning.  This became more obvious in the advent of COVID-19.  Therefore, in this course you will learn how to plan, write, and appraise an online learning content using OER.
