The Missouri Affordable and Open Educational Resources Conference invites you to share your research, ideas and best practices for using, creating or adapting A&OER.
Conference Theme and Schedule:
The theme of this year’s conference is, “Seeing the Forest AND the Trees: A&OER Across Missouri’s Landscape.” We hope to explore how A&OER is taking shape across Missouri, highlighting both the big-picture landscape and the individual efforts making a difference. This theme celebrates successes, encourages collaboration and explores opportunities to grow and strengthen open and accessible education across the state. The Conference will be held virtually on Tuesday, March 9, 2027.
Proposals:
We welcome proposals for presentations or panel discussions from faculty, librarians, instructional designers, students and any other educator or constituent involved in creating, using or adapting Affordable and Open Educational Resources. Proposals should keep the conference theme in mind, and you are encouraged to shape your proposed session to present your unique experiences with A&OER. We encourage you to actively engage your session participants with a hands-on activity or by providing them with other materials they can use.
