During the May 28 North Dakota State Board of Higher Education meeting, we learned more about open educational resources (OER), which are free or low-cost teaching and learning materials that are made to reduce textbooks costs and improve access for students.
In early April, more than 80 faculty, staff and students from across the North Dakota postsecondary institutions gathered at the North Dakota Heritage Center for a ND OER Conference. This year’s theme “Growing Access, Growing Opportunity” reflected ongoing commitment to remove barriers for students, support teaching and learning and strengthen collaboration across NDUS institutions.
In this video, attendees share their thoughts about the event and the importance of OER material adoption in classrooms of the future.
