OER Storytelling Why
Overview
In today's rapidly evolving educational landscape, empowering faculty is crucial for fostering innovation and student engagement. Historically, insitutions of higher learning thrived on a model where professors were not just educators but also creators of their own course materials. They wrote their own texts, designed their own curriculum, and taught with a deep sense of ownership and expertise. However, with the rise of publishers and standardized content, this autonomy was gradually eroded. Open Educational Resources (OER) offer a return to this empowering model by providing faculty with the tools and resources to develop their own high-quality, customizable course materials. By embracing OER, we empower faculty to reclaim their role as content experts and facilitators of meaningful learning experiences, ultimately benefiting both educators and students alike.
