Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for some examples of OERs being used in continuing education programs to include in a workshop I'm doing for contract instructors in the Faculty of Education (University of Alberta).
Currently, we plan to feature:
- Project Management open textbook (open textbook which directly aligns with industry accreditation and increases accessibility to the profession outside of professional associations and publications)
- Project Management for IDs open textbook (co-creating with students to again, align with industry accreditation and increase accessibility)
- ESL (English Second Language) CBL Level 5/6 open textbook (to share about how two institutions collaborated to create an open textbook for broad use in post-secondary, community, and professional education settings)
- (in progress) "Dental Community Education Package" (to share about how the community can come together to equip emerging professionals, practicing professionals, and community educators with well-crafted, accessible educational material)
If you have any examples of OER course materials used for non-credit continuing professional education programs (Language Arts, Business, Community Engagement, Information Technology, Art/Design, etc), I would love to hear about them!
Thanks so much
