All faculty grants to support this initiative have been awarded, however, our staff is happy to support your OER efforts with instructional consultations and connecting you to the appropriate library staff.
Open Education Resources (OER) are openly licensed learning materials made available for introduction and adaptation into classroom instruction. OERs can include entire courses, assignments, discussions, quizzes, syllabi, simulations, textbooks, and modules. The intention of OER is to provide low-cost learning materials to students to enhance the affordability of higher education while also allowing faculty more control over the content of their courses.
