Registration is Open for the Missouri Affordable and Open Educational Resources Symposium

By Shannon Cary   Posted in Events and Exhibits
Posted on

Registration is now open for the 2021 Missouri Affordable and Open Educational Resources Symposium. This year’s event will be held virtually and is free to all attendees.

The theme of this year’s Symposium will be centered around the idea of CARE, an acronym for Collaborating and Adapting/Adopting Resources for Equity. We would like to explore how the A&OER community cares for others by advocating for accessibility and equity of materials. With many conference themes centered around Covid-19 and its impact on students and faculty, we thought we would take this concept one step further and explore how the use of A&OER can address the issues of unequal access to educational materials on college campuses that have become so apparent during the pandemic. This theme is inspired by the importance of using Affordable and Open Educational Resources as a means to champion social equity by ensuring accessibility of materials to all students.

The Symposium will be held virtually on March 3 – 5, 2021. Click here to view the schedule and register today!
