OER Community Conversations: April

Topic

Finish off this academic year of OER Community Conversations with a panel of OER Learning Circle faculty that have intentionally focused on equity and accessibility as they worked on their OER Learning Circle projects and have them share examples of that focus using OER and again highlight how the OER Learning Circle process and philosophy closely aligns with the four strategies of equity and inclusion through connection.
