The purpose of this project was to build on ongoing work within UCC Library to incorporate open educational resources (OER) into teaching and learning in UCC. OER are teaching, learning, and research resources created by anyone in any medium which have been released under an open license. This permission means others can access, use, distribute, and adapt the resource (UNESCO, BCcampus). OER are a key component of open educational practices (OEP) wherein OER are used to support learning and openly share teaching practices to improve education at an institutional, professional, and individual level (BCcampus). A previous SATLE-funded project involved the design and implementation of an OER pilot in the Spanish department. Results from this pilot project highlighted the potential of engaging with students as partners in creating OER. In recognizing the key role students can have in open educational practices and in the creation of open educational resources, this project aimed to deepen student engagement by employing them to create OER. By working with students as partners, the project sought to empower them as co-creators of their educational journey through the use of OERs, foster a sense of ownership in contributing to the academic landscape, and enhance the quality and relevance of teaching and learning resources.
