More Details

Open Education Resources (OER) are attractive not only because they are adaptable and affordable but also because they can contribute to an inclusive environment. This workshop will introduce participants to ways to implement inclusive strategies in their classrooms as well as best practices in using OER to promote inclusion, thus further scaffolding student success. Workshop leaders will present examples and encourage participants to bring their own to share.

 

The workshop will also provide an overview of the OER grant process and answer questions about applications for small scale, medium scale, and large scale grants due on Friday, April 23.

 

Note: This workshop is part of a series on using OER as a tool for increasing access and inclusivity in support of Quest 2025 and in fulfillment of a recent TBR grant.
