OER offers us the opportunity to create meaningful learning experiences — but are there best practices for designing open resources? In this Office Hours session, we’ll look at OER creation through an instructional design lens. Our guests will share instructional design case studies and highlight the benefits of collaborations between faculty, librarians and instructional designers. They will explain effective course and learning design and discuss how to weave key principles into creating open textbooks and OER. Tune in for tips about working with faculty, and thoughts on the variety of tools and platforms that support our creation efforts.

Thank you to our guests and attendees for a rich conversation! This session is now complete. Watch the recording below, or view the [audio and chat transcripts](https://open.umn.edu/blog/february-office-hours-instructional-design-for-oer)
