OER: Open Educational Resources

Open Education Week is March 7-11, 2022, and there are many upcoming opportunities to learn more about OER, open pedagogy and emergent practices that incorporate openly-licensed content in ways that make learning more accessible, equitable and affordable.  The list below is a sample of events taking place later this week and next week:  all of them are online and free.  Registration is required. 

You can learn more about Open Education at the SPARC website, and visit the Open Education Week website for more forums, activities and openly-licensed content.  

More information about Open Educational Resources at New Paltz is available at STL’s libguide, and linked from this recent Faculty Development Center presentation.
