Using the UBC Wiki to Enhance Learning through Open Assignments The UBC Wiki is an excellent tool that can be used for a wide range of learning activities: from enabling student collaboration and hosting online discussions to supporting open assignments that involve students as co-creators of knowledge and learning resources. This session will explore different approaches to using the UBC Wiki for courses, including supporting open assignments, best practices for course and project organization, and enabling student collaboration. https://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/events/using-the-ubc-wiki-to-enchance-student-learning-through-open-assignments/ April 21, 11-12 PM Will | Rie

Finding, Using, and Remixing Open Resources For Your Courses As you prepare for your courses, chances are you may want to incorporate educational resources such as images, videos or quiz questions from different sources into your own materials. There are millions of openly licensed resources, from full courses and textbooks to tests banks and images, that are available for others to freely use. These resources can be modified and adapted to be more useful for your own teaching or learning context. Additionally, these open education resources support the greater worldwide education community by sharing teaching work which may not be as visible as other academic engagement activities.

Are you interested in learning how to find, use, and remix open education resources? Would you like to learn more about how to share resources back to the education community? This session is intended to address common questions concerning openly licensed materials for teaching and learning. Some of these questions include:

  • What is meant by Creative Commons?
  • How do you find and evaluate open resources?
  • What are the key considerations in reusing, reproducing, or modifying these materials?
