The five stands will cover the following themes: 

  • Interactive learning and teaching
  • Assessment and Feedback
  • Open Educational Resources
  • Students as Makers and Co-creators

Workshop: Using openly licensed images: keeping on the right side of copyright

From 2.30 - 4.00 pm we will be running an interactive workshop on open educational resources (OER) which we would be delighted for you to attend. 

The workshop will highlight creative commons image searching, copyright, how to apply image attribution and how to license OERs to the open community. It will be an interactive 90 minute session at the end of which you will have created an fully licensed and attributed OER. 

Please email VMEDWorkshops@ed.ac.uk if you would like to participate in the OER workshop session.
