What goals can Pressbooks help you achieve? How do Pressbooks networks work\, and what’s required to make them successful?

SUMMARY:Finding and Using OER
DESCRIPTION:One of the biggest barriers to OER adoption and use is finding the right resource. In this session\, we will look at some McMaster-specific resources that will help you in your search (including McMaster’s OER by Discipline Guide version 2.0 and the OER Finding Service)\, explore some OER repositories\, and consider some strategies to fine tune your results. We will also look at how you can evaluate the OER you’ve found for possible use in your teaching.

SUMMARY:. . . but is it Learning? Game-based Learning and Sharing OE Resources in a College Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:At Sask Polytechnic\, we’re learning how to use games in education. Last year\, the Saskatoon library set up a gaming lab (the SPARK Lab — Simulated Play And Real Knowledge) and this year we are using an Open education tool called H5P (integrated into Pressbooks) to make interactive learning modules.  \nThis session will explore using game-based learning and gamification\, and how they can help engage students\, with some success stories. Join Sask Polytechnic instructors and technology support specialists as we discuss gaming in education. Catch our event recordings\, if you missed the registration.
