Maria Scalzi Wherley on teaching and OER
Writing, communicating, and reflecting are important learning activities that can be added to any course, and I've enjoyed working with others to produce adaptable materials that can be used by instructors and students everywhere. The fact that OERs allow for transformation, remixing, and building promotes the creation of multi-modal instruction and creative assessment activities that benefit diverse populations of students. The more we can add to the pool of OER materials, the better for us all.
