Description

In this short guide, the authors aim to give you an introduction to the area of open education, so that you can engage with open education practices in your teaching and support activities and to Go Open!

Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

The guide is structured around five key questions about going open: 1. What is open education? ; 2. What are open teaching and learning practices? ; 3. What is Creative Commons licensing? And How do I use it? 4. What are OER? ; 5. How do I find and use open resources?. Each section gives a short definition of the key concept, some analysis of the literature and some examples and resources of open education practice for you to engage with in more detail.

This survey was adapted from a North American Faculty OER Survey Toolkit for use in the Irish Higher Education context. It was used across the DOERs project partner sites to audit staff Open Educational Resources and Open Educational Practices awareness and practices. We encourage other institutions to adapt this tool to meet their needs.

This Toolkit was created by students at University College Dublin, for students, to break down sustainability in a way that’s simple and easy to understand. Climate change is something that affects all of us—no matter what you’re studying, where you’re from, or what you do. It’s here, and it’s impacting our world—but many of us aren’t sure what we can do about it.

The purpose of this toolkit is a starting point for what students need to learn about living more sustainably on and off campus. We hope it’ll inspire students to take small steps that make a big impact, and they can do it all at their own pace. You can access the Moodle page to view the Toolkit. There are also Zip files of the SCORM packages used to create the Toolkit (Part 1 and Part 2) that can be downloaded and imported into a Virtual Learning Environment.

• Part 1: Climate Change → Watch short Youtube videos followed by a little quiz to brush up on your sustainability knowledge.
• Part 2: What Can You Do? → Find tips and tricks to incorporate sustainability into your day-to-day life, this is a resource tool to help you get started!
