Exploring Open Education Collaborations with the Community College Consortium for OER (CCCOER)

The Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) supports colleges across North America to advance the awareness and adoption of open educational policies, practices, and resources to improve teaching and learning. We collectively believe these practices enable equitable access and participation particularly for marginalized students while supporting faculty choice of openly licensed curriculum materials.As a community of practice, our members and their priorities drive our planning and professional development activities on topics such as open pedagogy, open course design, and how open education supports campus goals of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Join Una Daly, Director of CCCOER and Cindy Domaika (Nicolet College), VP of CCCOER Member relations to hear about upcoming member engagement opportunities and to share your ideas for collaborations and aspirations.Learning outcomes:1. Hear about CCCOER’s professional development opportunities and how to get involved.2. Find out how to engage in collaborations with other member colleges across the U.S.3. Share your ideas for future “open” project collaborations
