On the 21st of February, 2014 Vytautas Magnus University team held the first exploitation workshop, which was integrated to the conference “Studies in Modern Society 2014″. Open Educational Resources approach was used and this could be mentioned as a positive aspect, because this topic is relevant for educators and attracted a lot of participants of the conference to come to the project workshop section. The course itself is OER, so OER idea together with the course was promoted. It also leaded to the discussion how teachers can use OER in their educational practice. Feedback from participants showed that teachers need more information on what are OER, OER benefits, CC licenses, under what terms they can use products with CC licenses.
On the 4rd of March, 2014 we had the second workshop at Kaunas Teacher Qualification Center. This center aims to fulfill the lifelong learning needs of educational institutions’ representatives, decision makers, teachers and other adult learners. Organizing workshop trough this institution helped us to attract representatives and educators from more than 20 various educational institutions.
Participants of both workshops showed their interest towards the course content and learning methods and reported their intention to re-use the content and learning methods of the course in their educational practice.
