Images, illustrations, and infographics are essential for helping students grasp complex biological processes and structures, especially when encountering them for the first time. Yet many instructors who adopt OER find that available images, illustrations, and figures are often fewer in number and less detailed than those found in commercial publications. In this conversation, participants will explore strategies for enhancing their course materials with high-quality, openly licensed figures. We will examine platforms that provide openly licensed biology images, illustrations, and infographics, and walk through effective search techniques for locating and evaluating these resources.
Bring your questions and examples from your own courses and leave with practical tools and resources to improve the visual quality of your instructional materials.
