Open Education Week is an annual celebration designed to raise awareness about open educational resources and practices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open educational resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that are free of cost and access barriers, and which have permissions for reuse. Examples of OER include videos, images, lab activities, homework assignments, and textbooks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open educational practices \u2014 also known as open pedagogy \u2014 use OER to support student learning by inviting them to become active participants in the teaching and learning environment, engaging in knowledge creation and sharing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faculty who use OER instead of a commercial textbook can <a href=\"https:\/\/tufacultyherald.org\/2024\/01\/23\/course-materials-affordability-survey-what-we-heard-from-our-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">help save students hundreds of dollars a semester<\/a>. Faculty who use OER can also revise, remix, and build upon the content created by others, customizing the material to meet the needs of their particular class. This can aid in bringing about a more holistic teaching and learning experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/guides.temple.edu\/oer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Open Educational Practices<\/a> guide to learn more.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Open Education Week Events&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To mark Open Education Week, Temple University Libraries will be offering the following activities:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Student Event<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stop by the Textbook Affordability table on the first floor of Charles Library to share your story about how textbook costs impact you, learn more about how to advocate for zero-cost course materials, and craft a \u2018Thank you!\u2019 to your professors who have used affordable textbooks.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Online Workshops<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Make Your Courses Affordable with Zero-Cost Course Materials<\/strong>&nbsp;<br>Monday, March 10 | Noon | <a href=\"https:\/\/library.temple.edu\/events\/1927\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register<\/a>&nbsp;<br>Join us as we highlight multiple options for locating zero-cost course materials, including open educational resources (OER) and library resources.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>How to Promote Your Open Scholarship<\/strong> &nbsp;<br>Tuesday, March 11 | Noon | <a href=\"https:\/\/library.temple.edu\/events\/1928\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register<\/a> &nbsp;<br>This workshop will cover strategies on how faculty can promote their open scholarship.
