In this session, we will explore how learning designers can integrate Open Educational Resources and Practices (OER/OEP) in ways that enhance engagement, foster authentic learning and drive meaningful impact. Through lightning talks by learning design professionals in higher education, we’ll examine some real-world strategies for embedding OER and OEP and empower participants with practical tools for implementing them.
