"Using OER" - Flex Workshop Agenda

Welcome!

Welcome to the Flex workshop offered by the OER Workgroup on January 27, 2023. We envision this session as being informal, a chance to share some basic info about OER, to share faculty experiences with selecting and adopting OER, to demo some of the OER sites (if attendees are interested), and to answer questions. We look forward to discussing OER with you!
