ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø

Are you new to open educational resources (OER) and interested in learning how to adopt or scale OER in your course or across your institution?  Register to join the ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø Open Source Textbook (M.O.S.T.) initiative at one of three regional forums across ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø to participate in interactive sessions, discussions, and hands-on workshops on OER in higher education.  These day-long regional forums are targeted to higher education faculty, instructional designers, librarians, and administrators interested in getting an introduction to openly licensed materials, finding resources to support OER adoption, and joining discussions on OER accessibility, quality, and impact on student success.  Attendees will have an opportunity to network, learn, and collaborate with colleagues from across ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø’s 2- and 4-year higher education institutions.

*Many thanks to Garrett College and Allegany College of ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø for co-hosting and ϡȱÁÔÆæÍøOnline for supporting the Western ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø event; to University of ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø Eastern Shore for hosting the Eastern ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø event; and to Towson University for hosting the Central ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø event.

Call for Proposals - Regional OER Forum Poster Showcase
We are inviting faculty, staff, and administrators from ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø higher education institutions to present their OER stories at a poster showcase at one or more regional forums.  Are you passionate about the use of OER and interested in engaging others in adopting OER by sharing your experiences – both what has worked and what hasn’t? Have you created new open content within your field or discipline? Do you have OER content adoption strategies to share? Has the use of OER led to broader redesigns of courses, changes to pedagogy, greater student engagement, or increased student learning?  Share your story!

for a poster showcase.
