- Attend a virtual summer convening 9am-3pm, September 8, 2025: $400

You can do one or both of these things!
The goal of these activities is to redesign and pilot an existing course using open materials in order to save students money, and with an equity lens to better represent and support students. We will also explore open educational practices that encourage students to create or contribute to open content with a real-world purpose.
We are halfway through a two-year grant towards these goals!
- On September 11, 2024, Open Oregon Educational Resources held our first of two summer convenings.
