Open Educational Resources (OERS) for Digital Research Skills: Sharing our Experience of Blended Learning

This poster presents an innovative digital literacy project from the School of Information & Communication Studies, University College Dublin, which involved the creation of six original e-tutorials supporting the development of students’ digital research skills, to complement traditional research and information literacy competencies in our undergraduate programs. Targeting key digital research topics, such as social media analytics, data visualisation and the academic web, the e-tutorials blend text, image, audio, and video to offer an engaging and interactive learning experience for students. Importantly, our e-tutorials are available for reuse under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License, and are categorised as Open Educational Resources (OERs), free to be shared with librarians and teachers in higher education around the world.
