SHL Hangout | Creating, adapting, sharing: OER in SHL instruction

Location
Online in Zoom
Presenter(s)
Facilitators: Margarita Casas (Linn-Benton Community College)
Flavia Belpoliti (Texas A&M Commerce)

In this hangout webinar, the presenters will introduce main tenets of open educational resources (OER) and the affordances for SHL instruction in diverse settings, starting with a conversation on the process of creating, adapting and sharing OER. They will share their experiences with designing, publishing, and adapting materials under Creative Commons  (CC) licenses to teach Spanish to diverse heritage learners. Then, participants will engage in adapting existing OER content following a specific redesign process, transforming the content into an instructional material that directly matches their students’ needs and interests. The presentation will finalize with a short revision of different CC licenses, inviting participants to select a preferred license before sharing their redesigned OER content with the larger TeCHS community.

Once registered, you will receive an email with the Zoom link about a week before the event. For accessibility requests: please email us at coerll@austin.utexas.edu by April 29th.
