In just one hour, you will:
- Learn about Open Science in Education at Maastricht University.
- Understand Creative Commons licensing and copyright considerations.
- Discover best practices for refining and structuring your materials into impactful learning resources.
- Explore strategies for finding, evaluating, and accessing OERs across different platforms.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this workshop, you will:
