Open Education Resources: Collecting, Promoting, And Managing Oer In An Institutional Repository, Sarah Beaubien
Open Education Resources: Collecting, Promoting, And Managing Oer In An Institutional Repository, Sarah Beaubien
Presentations
Open Education Resources (OER) are digital materials used for educational purposes that are intentionally made available to the public. An increasing number of university faculty create and use such resources in their teaching. Partnering with the creators of OER is an excellent way to gather high-quality, unique content for the repository while helping to fulfill the goal of making OER widely available. This session will introduce considerations regarding the value and process of building an OER collection in the repository.

Engineering South Of The Border: A Librarian’S Experience In Nicaragua, Debbie Morrow
Presentations
I will spend the first half of May’12 in Estelí, Nicaragua, as a volunteer member of a project to teach product innovation and development skills to students and faculty of the Nicaraguan national university system. The two leaders, Engineering and Business faculty members from GVSU, require no special expertise or language skills for volunteers, but are excited at the prospect of having a library professional among the support group in this year’s seventh annual iteration of the program. I look forward to sharing what I learn about engineering and academics in a culture eager to develop.
