Getting Started with OER Online
You’ve likely heard about OER and how it can save students money. But did you also know that OER can increase student engagement and retention? The 2022 Florida Student Survey found that 53% of the 13,000 students they surveyed did not purchase a required textbook for a course due to its cost. Because of textbook costs, forty-three percent of students in the survey took fewer courses, and twenty-four percent of students surveyed reported dropping out of a course (Florida Virtual Campus 2022).
The New Mexico Open Educational Resources Consortium, or the NMOER Consortium, is holding three workshops this fall to help NM educators find free, open, high-quality resources to use in their classes.
The first workshop, titled “Getting Started with OER” will cover basics for researching and identifying OERs in your disciplines. This workshop will also cover the different ways educators can integrate these resources into their courses. All New Mexico educators, students, staff, and administrators are invited to learn about how to get started with OER.
