Sydney Mook, Grand Forks Herald; North Dakota University System to host open education resource conference in Fargo in March
"In conjunction with Open Education Week, the
North Dakota University System will hold an open education resources
conference on Friday, March 6, at the Holiday Inn in Fargo, the
university system announced Monday, Jan. 6.
The full-day program will include an overview
of open education resources at a national level, a panel of
representatives from UND, Mayville State University and Valley City
State University who have implemented OERs, and research conducted by
UND professor, Virginia Clinton, regarding the effects of using open
textbooks and student learning outcomes.
Open
educational resources, also known as OER and sometimes referred to as
open-access resources, allow students to save money on textbooks through
a free online textbook."
