Implementing OER in the Classroom
Teaching With Your OER
This chapter is geared toward those institutions that do not have the LTI plug-in of Pressbooks that enable Pressbooks Results. For the OERFSJ project, this would include Santa Clara University and the University of San Francisco.
Your OER is created, reviewed, improved, and ready for your students to use. What’s the best way to use it in your Learning Management System? How do you introduce it to your students? This workshop covered:
- Ways to incorporate your Pressbook chapters into your OER in Canvas LMS
-
- How to link out to your Pressbook chapters
- How to bring in your Pressbook chapters to your Canvas course
- Tips/best practices
- Introducing your OER to your students
- Getting feedback on your OER from your students
- Maintaining your OER semester over semester
