Call for Proposals: Regional OER Forum Poster Showcase

We are inviting faculty, staff, and administrators from Maryland higher education institutions to present their OER stories at a poster showcase at one or more M.O.S.T. Regional OER Forums.  Are you passionate about the use of OER and interested in engaging others in adopting OER by sharing your experiences – both what has worked and what hasn’t? Have you created new open content within your field or discipline? Do you have OER content adoption strategies to share? Has the use of OER led to broader redesigns of courses, changes to pedagogy, greater student engagement, or increased student learning?  Share your story!

The M.O.S.T. Regional OER Forums will bring together higher education faculty, instructional designers, librarians, and administrators interested in getting an introduction to openly licensed materials, finding resources to support OER adoption, and joining discussions on OER accessibility, quality, and impact on student success.  These day-long regional forums will allow attendees to participate in interactive sessions, discussions, and hands-on workshops to learn how to adopt or scale OER in their course or across their institutions.  Attendees will have an opportunity to network, learn, and collaborate with colleagues from across Maryland’s 2- and 4-year higher education institutions.

Submit your proposal for a poster showcase.
