Faculty Open Educational Resources
Incorporating active learning pedagogies enables my students to be responsible learners and independent thinkers.
Open Educational Resources for Instruction
We have resources you can use right now! Open educational resources (OERs) are teaching, learning, and research resources that can be freely retained, reused, revised, remixed, and redistributed. These instructional media and open text books are organized by subject.
All OERs available here meet WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility requirements. All videos are fully captioned.
If you are a UGA faculty member interested in contributing open educational resources, please email us at online@uga.edu.
Online Course Development Resources for Faculty
The primary source of UGA faculty support as you transition to teaching remotely in the current Spring 2020 semester is the Office of Instruction’s teaching and learning continuity resources page.
A Rapid Guide to Online Teaching eLC course is available to UGA instructors as a resource for a rapid move to online instruction.
