March 27: Open Educational Resources symposium

Perhaps you’ve been hearing about Open Educational Resources, and you’re interested but still have questions.  Are there any OERs suitable for your course?  How do they compare with traditional resources?  What about tutorials, question banks, or other supplementary resources?  Are there copyright or licensing issues?  How do OERs affect student outcomes?

Well, we’re here to help! UND’s Open Educational Resources Working Group is hosting a multi-speaker symposium to answer these questions and more!  Join us on March 27 in the River Valley Room of the Memorial Union for answers – from your colleagues, from expert staff, and from students!  The program runs from 10:30 am – 3 pm, but if you can’t join us for the entire program, feel free to attend the segment of your choice.  Speakers and topics are listed at:
