Open Education Resources in Management Education: The What, Why, and How

Textbook prices have increased at three times the rate of inflation in the past 30 years, and many students have trouble affording them. Open Educational Resources (OER) can help address this problem -- textbooks, syllabi, activities, and course modules available without charge or access barriers. During this workshop, participants will learn the “what,” “why,” and “how” of OER, including an overview of OER and Creative Commons licensing, benefits to students, faculty, and institutions, and examples of courses that use OER. More than half of the session time will be devoted to small group work and/or discussions.
