Title

OER Discoverability and Sharing

Description (via CARL Website)

The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL)’s Open Education Working Group (OEWG) invites you to this webinar, which follows up on our earlier Community Call on OER Findability Issues by offering practical tips on how to ensure maximum visibility for open educational resources.

Unlike traditional publishing models, where marketing and promotion are completed for authors, engaging in open education activities requires some effort from practitioners in getting the word out there about their resources. This session will introduce you to workflows for making your resource discoverable, collecting impact data, and marketing and promotion processes to showcase the reach of your resources.

This session will cover:

• Identifying how resource formats and accessibility impact openness
• Developing a plan for sharing open educational resources
• Developing a plan for gathering data to show impact of your open educational resource
• Identify marketing and promotion processes for releasing your open educational resource
