Open Education Resource Initiative

To address the need for appropriate materials for HL classes, the Heritage Center will support the development and use of OERs for HL teaching. This project will be integrated with the Summer Teacher Workshops (LT1) and other professional development opportunities. We will work with the OLRC to convene other workshops to teach HL practitioners about principles of OER design. They will learn how to adopt, adapt, and create openly licensed materials and deploy best practices for their use and dissemination. The Center will also explore existing OER repositories and technologies to determine the best platforms to house the materials produced by participants. Workshops will be offered in different modes (e.g., live, online synchronous, and asynchronous) to increase access. The NHLRC will also curate a series of videos and tip sheets that instructors can access as needed.
