The Open Educational Resources (OER) Initiative was initiated by the AUB libraries in 2021, after having had Open Educational Resources on its agenda for a while. A team lead by Dalal Rahme, Scholarly Communications Librarian at AUB libraries and other subject librarians, instructional designers, faculty members, staff and administrators became more involved in the project after attending a one-year institute on Open Educational Resources.
AUB faculty members are encouraged to redesign their courses to:
- include more Open Educational Resources, which could be more inclusive and relevant to our society and culture.
- create Open Educational Materials to replace expensive commercial textbooks.
AUB libraries are here to support and provide the appropriate consultations and infrastructures.
