Academic freedom, tailored course content, affordability for students—these are important issues for many faculty members today. Join your colleagues and Lumen Learning to find out how open educational resources (OER) can address these issues and more during the OER for Open Courses workshop on Friday, January 22.

OER are designed for open sharing, collaboration, creativity, flexibility, and tailorability—in both online and face-to-face courses. Learn how to adopt, adapt, and build OER to increase affordability and access for students, give faculty members greater engagement in teaching and learning, and measure and demonstrate OER’s impact on educational outcomes and costs.

This practical workshop will outline OER best practices, report findings from research on efficacy and impact of OER-based courses, and enable faculty members to explore new pedagogical approaches enabled via open education. Designed to appeal to both OER novices and those faculty members who’ve attended Buffalo State’s previous OER workshops, this one-day event will bring attendees up to date with current developments in OER.

Sessions will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Technology Building 160 (morning sessions) and Technology Building 358 (afternoon sessions). The final agenda, registration links, and more can be found on the workshop’s website.
