9-10am Empowering Educators: A Guide to Creative Commons Licensing for Open Educational Resources – Maria Taylor, Open Educational Resources Librarian

Are you interested in adapting existing open textbooks or creating your own? Do you have other course materials such as ancillaries or assignments that you would like for others to be able to reuse and adapt? In this presentation, we will explore Creative Commons (CC) and why its licenses are integral to the process of OER adoption, adaptation, and creation. We will delve into the anatomy of CC licenses, applying CC licenses to your own work, and the licensing considerations when adapting CC licensed works. Lastly, attendees will leave with ways to get involved with Creative Commons, helpful CC resources, and places to share their CC licensed works. At the end of the presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to apply a Creative Commons license to course materials that they have already created, adapted, or remixed.

 10:15-11:30am Breaking Down Barriers: Accessibility and Open Educational Resources – Holly Hatfield, Disability and Accessibility Senior Specialist & Maria Taylor, Open Educational Resources Librarian

One of the goals of Open Educational Resources is to provide access to course content for more people, with fewer barriers. In this session, we will discuss why accessibility matters in the context of OER. We will walk through best practices for accessibility when creating OER, and you will have the opportunity to workshop an existing document such as a syllabus, assignment, or other course resource. We will also provide information about useful accessibility tools and resources.
