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 all these issues and more during an OER for Open Courses workshop on Friday, January 22, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Technology Building 160 (morning sessions) and 358 (afternoon sessions).

OERs are designed for open sharing, collaboration, creativity, flexibility, and tailorability, both in online and face-to-face courses. Learn how to adopt, adapt, and build OERs to increase affordability and access for students, give faculty greater engagement in teaching and learning, and measure and demonstrate OERs' 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 to 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.

Final agenda and more details will be forthcoming.

Register for this informational and inspiring event today. The Buffalo State community will have priority until Friday, December 18, when registration will open to everyone.
