OER Panel
As part of their Affordable Textbooks Campaign, MASSPIRG students and NSCC’s Student Government Association (SGA) are hosting an OER (Open Educational Resources) Panel on November 6, 1:30 pm, Danvers Campus, room DS106B. All are invited.
MASSPIRG students and the SGA believe that faculty need more information about OER and need to have the discussion with statewide staff and their peers to know exactly what it takes to make the switch. The DHE Director of Learning Outcomes, Robert Awkward, will be talking about what they are doing at the state level, and students will tell their stories about how the high cost of course materials has affected their college experience.
Refreshments will be available. Learn more about OER at NSCC : library.northshore.edu/open/NSCC
