Are you working on open educational resources (OER) or curious about what others are doing in your field? Join us for a lively virtual meet-up designed to spark ideas, share experiences and tips, and explore opportunities for cross-institutional OER partnerships.

This session is all about connection and inspiration. We’ll:

  • Discuss concerns / problems you have encountered;
  • Share tips on possible solutions;
  • Discuss areas of interest for future collaboration;
