Benefits for faculty using OER include: (Select all that apply)
- The ability to tailor resources to fit specific context within courses and research.
- Gaining royalties from the publication of content.
- Saving time and energy by adapting or revising resources that have already been created.
- Expanding interdisciplinary teaching by integrating resources from multiple sources.
The primary purpose of OER assessment rubrics is to help you:
- Evaluate criteria such as quality, online accessibility, production options, platform compatibility, and delivery options.
- Better understand student perceptions of OER.
- Check the copyright information assigned to a learning asset.
- Estimate the cost savings of using OER.
