William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, "OER are teaching, learning, and research resources
that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property
license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others. Open educational resources
include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests,
software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to
knowledge." This event will showcase some of the many OER options available to instructors.
Our featured presenter, Delmar Larsen, a professor of Chemistry at U.C. Davis, is
the director of LibreTexts, an online textbook platform. LibreTexts' mission is to
unite students, faculty, and scholars in a cooperative effort to develop an easy-to-use
online platform for the construction, customization, and dissemination of OER to reduce
the burdens of unreasonable textbook costs to our students and society.
