OER Project Showcase: 2
Since 2018, Minnesota State faculty have been participating in the OER Learning Circles program, where they collaborate with colleagues from across the system who are committed to redesigning courses around OER and/or creating OER ancillary materials to help eliminate course material costs for students.
OER are teaching, learning and research resources that make use of appropriate tools, such as open licensing, to permit their free reuse, continuous improvement, and repurposing by others for educational purposes (UNESDOC).
2025 OER Project Showcase
Learn how faculty from recent OER Learning Circle cohorts have been helping save students money by adapting their courses to OER or developing OER ancillary or primary materials at the OER Project Showcase. The showcase will be held virtually across six days in the spring with a handful of OER Learning Circle participants in each, presenting their work and answering questions.
