In this session participants can learn more about open educational resources — what it is and why you might want to consider using it, how to find one that meets your teaching and learning needs, how you can create and share them, and what other faculty are doing with them in their classrooms today.
Following will be a panel discussion regarding faculty experiences at 2 to 3:30 p.m. in the same room. It will feature an open panel with faculty that features their progress of applying affordable and open-source educational resources in classrooms at Nebraska.
