twillo is a guest at the Hochscule Merse­burg on Novem­ber 20th, 2025 to con­duct an online work­shop on OER-poli­cies. This work­shop is part of Hochschule Merse­burg’s event series “Lehre und Ler­nen im Blick” from Novem­ber 17th to the 28th, 2025. More and more aca­d­e­mic insti­tu­tions aim to fos­ter open­ness and seek to set a pos­i­tive exam­ple for their edu­ca­tors and other stafthat they pro­mote and endorese the cre­ation and shar­ing of Open Edu­ca­tional Resoures (OER) actively through provide­ing clear guide­lines. But what con­tent should such an OER-pol­icy have? What legal aspects are cru­cial to con­sider? And which stake­hold­ers should be involved, so that a pol­i­cy’s imple­men­ta­tion is widely sup­ported and not con­demned to reamin a mere dec­la­ra­tion of intent? Uti­liz­ing exist­ing tem­plates pro­vided by twillo — such as our pol­icy draft and our pol­icy kit — we’ll intro­duce the cru­cial steps of devel­op­ing an OER-pol­icy for your insti­tu­tion. twillo gladly sup­ports this under­tak­ing with two sub­se­quent work­shops.
