OER Community Conversations: Creating Equity Through Connection
The 2022-2023 OER Community Conversations consisted of four presentations that represent how we can use Open Educational Resources (OER) to address equity through connection, the Network for Educational Development theme for this academic year.

Join the final presentation of this series on April 6 from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. by Registering on the NED Events Calendar.
The final presentation features a panel of OER Learning Circle faculty that have intentionally focused on equity and accessibility as they worked on their OER Learning Circle projects.
Faculty will share examples of that focus using OER and again highlight how the OER Learning Circle process and philosophy closely aligns with ideals of the four strategies of equity and inclusion through connection.
