Webinar presented for OA Week at the Nova Scotia Community College on October 24, 2013. Abstract: Questions abound in higher education about both the quality and the sustainability of “open” resources such as open access journals, open education resources, open data, and massive open online courses (MOOCs). Against a backdrop of potential areas of concern, this session will address simple and practical ways to integrate open resources into teaching and learning activities and services. Participants will be encouraged to consider possibilities these resources have to offer colleges and universities that share a commitment to fostering critical thinking and lifelong learning skills among students while contending with financial challenges and constraints.
