Proposals are now being accepted for Buffalo State’s OER Course (Re)design Workshop to be held Tuesday and Wednesday, January 16 and 17, 2018. Open educational resources (OER) are openly licensed learning materials that provide a socially responsible and pedagogically sound alternative to traditionally restrictive learning materials. SUNY is currently investing in campuses to expand their OER initiatives, and faculty members across the state are revising their courses to meet students’ needs.

Participants in this Buffalo State workshop will spend two full days working with colleagues and (re)designing a course to center on OER. OER experts and instructional designers will be on hand to lead activities and provide guidance. The resulting course should meet the goal of including cost-efficient, customized, and high-quality open learning materials for students.

Please contact Leah Galka, academic outreach and engagement librarian and campus OER coordinator, with questions.
