Chancellor Ballroom
I-Hotel and Conference Center
1900 South First Street

The purpose of this two-day conference is to raise awareness of the ongoing work in Illinois around creating and adapting OER, specifically to showcase the Open Educational Resources (OER), textbooks and ancillary materials, created by CARLI members and to highlight consortial support for OER from across the country, including the U.S. Department of Education Open Textbook Pilot consortial grant recipients.

With this conference, CARLI wants to celebrate along with the Illinois SCOERs recipients and learn how it can continue to support its members in their open education efforts!
