The OER Dynamic Coalition which supports the implementation of the UNESCO OER Recommendation has shared recordings of their webinars focusing on the action area.

OER Recommendation Action Area 1: How to OER/ Capacity Building (May 2021)

Four different capacity building initiatives in three different continents were presented with best practices. The discussion covered questions on: how to find and use courses on ‘how to OER’ easily, quickly, efficiently, how to support collaboration on the further development and use of courses on ‘how to OER’ and how the gaps in the content and particularly language and region can be filled. The outcome of this session was to identify concrete ideas to support the capacity building of stakeholders to create, access, re-use, adapt and redistribute OER, in particular in the area of access capacity building courses on ‘how to OER’.
