SUMMARY:Pedagogical and Professional Reasons to Adopt Open Educational Resources (OER)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this 60-minute session on the value that’s

 outcomes) and the professional appeal (including tenure & promotion and 
 networking). Members from the UBCO Open Education Working Group will be
