Exploring Open Educational Resources: Adopting, Adapting, and Creating for the Classroom

Thursday, October 2, 2025 12:00–1:00 PM
  • Description
    Join us for a practical and empowering session designed to help faculty explore the potential of Open Educational Resources (OER) to enhance access, equity, and innovation in their teaching. Whether you're interested in reducing textbook costs for students, customizing course materials, or publishing your own open scholarship, this workshop will introduce you to flexible pathways for using OER in your courses. We’ll discuss how to start small with adoption and adaptation, as well as opportunities for full-scale OER creation. Participants will also learn about UTA’s robust support network—including the UTA Libraries’ OER publishing tools and faculty grant programs—to help bring their ideas to life.



    Learning Outcomes:

    Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to: Define Open Educational Resources and explain their impact on teaching, learning, and access. Identify ways to adopt, adapt, or create OER in alignment with their teaching goals. Discover UTA-specific resources, including OER publishing support and faculty grant opportunities through the Libraries’ OER Grants Program (libguides.uta.edu/OERgrants). Develop a plan to begin integrating OER into a current or future course.
