In the last three years, several excellent OER that focus on inclusivity, in a broad sense, were developed by Canadian institutions, including Waterloo. In this 15-minute resource demonstration session, we will highlight some OER that have been developed with a focus on Indigenization, intercultural considerations, anti-racism, mental health and wellbeing, and equity-minded teaching.
