OER Creation Workshop Series

In 2024, CARLI offered workshops designed to help librarians and faculty with the creation of Open Educational Resources. While the workshops were part of a series for the awardees of the Illinois Secretary of State / Illinois State Library OER Grants, they were open to all CARLI members with an interest in OER creation. These twelve workshops fall into six topical areas including Project Management; Accessibility; Copyright and Creative Commons; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; Instructional Design; and LibreTexts. Recordings are available for all of the workshops.
