This 4 weeks open course aims at guiding all participants through the discovery, use and reuse of open educational resources (OER) for teaching purposes in language education. Together we will explore what is an Open Educational resource (OER) and what is an Open Educational Practice (OEP). Furthermore, we will present the main characteristics and benefits of using language OERs as well as the main challenges of introducing OERs in language education.

In this course you will also discover efficient approaches to search, find and evaluate the right language OER that have been created by others for your language course. What is highly interesting is that you will also learn how to build upon an openly licensed digital material and share its updated version. Last but not least, by the end of this course you will understand the importance of Copyright and Open Licensing and you will learn what CC licenses are, how to use them correctly and how to Open Attribution tools that can generate automatically CC licenses for the OER that you have created or you have selected to use and wish to attribute its owner.

This course will be highly attractive to both those who want to start exploring and using language OER in their language teaching as well as to those who are already users but who are looking for an opportunity to learn where to find quality language OERs but also wish to create and share their own language teaching resources to a wider audience of language teachers.

The course “Exploring how to (re)use Language Open Educational Resources (OER)” is part of the OpenLang Network project. This is an Erasmus+ programme which envisages connecting all the Erasmus+ KA1 Mobility Participants in an open and highly interactive online environment that addresses their needs for linguistic skills and culture awareness.
