This is just a reminder that CCCOER will have the third webinar in our Fall Back-to-Basics series this Wednesday, November 15th, at 11 am PST/ 2 pm EST. This month's free and open webinar is, "How OER Can Student Equity and Diversity." We will hear from three speakers who will tell us how open education resources, policies, and practices can create equitable learning experiences for all students through the development of culturally relevant learning experiences. Once again, a more in-depth description and the registration link are included below, or you can view it on our website at: https://www.cccoer.org/webinar/nov-15-how-oer-can-support-student-equity-an… Sincerely, Liz ~~~~~~~ Liz Yata CCCOER Support Specialist Open Education Consortium lizyata@oeconsortium.org<mailto:lizyata@oeconsortium.org> According to the Glossary of Education Reform, equity refers to the principle of fairness in education. Inequities occur when biased or unfair policies, programs, practices, or situations contribute to a lack of equality in educational performance, results, and outcomes. The development and use of open educational resources has the potential to create equitable learning experiences for all students. Open education is deeply rooted in the belief that teachers have the freedom to develop content that meets the needs of their students. Join us for this webinar to hear the ways in which colleges can consider issues of equity when designing and delivering OER courses and degree programs. Presenters will share how open educational resources, policies, and practices can support equity and diversity through the development of culturally relevant learning experiences that emphasize inclusion and celebrate diversity.
