Exploring OER: Access, Adoption, and Application
April 17, 2020
Lincoln Land Community College
9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

A Call for Proposals is now available with two options for participation. We are seeking faculty and staff experienced with OER to moderate discipline oriented roundtable discussions. This includes transfer and career & technical education programs. We are also seeking participants for a round robin/poster session event where faculty and staff can share their experience, showcase OER use in their courses, or discuss other initiatives or topics.

Please submit your proposals at https://form.jotform.com/193503425357155

Deadline for submissions is Friday, January 17, 2020.

The Keynote Speaker for the conference is Abbey Elder. Abbey is the Open Access & Scholarly Communication Librarian at Iowa State University. Abbey has worked to expand access to affordable course content by empowering instructors to find, adopt, or create open educational resources (OER) for their courses. Her handbook for instructors, The OER Starter Kit, has been used in professional development programs around the United States and is being adapted into an interactive workbook. Apart from her outreach work, Abbey also helps manage a mini-grant program at Iowa State University to support instructors who need funding to complete their OER projects.
