Welcome to the Enhancing teacher education through OER MOOC!
This is a six-week, task-oriented MOOC that focuses on how to select, evaluate and use Open Educational Resources (OER) to help support quality in teacher education. Teacher development is a highly complex process and there are many different ideas about the best way to prepare and support quality teachers.
This MOOC was designed for teacher educators and was successfully run as an online course on another platform. It is now on OpenLearn Works so that you can work through the material at your own pace. You may be working in a university, teachers’ college, local resource centre or other teacher-education setting, or as a Headteacher or other senior member of staff supporting the teachers in your school.
