  • “I was so pleased to see the excitement and passion from Summit presenters and attendees alike for helping their students be successful through the adoption of OER and open educational practices such as open pedagogy.” -Una Daly  Director, Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) 2019 Keynote

2021

May 13-14 2021

Over the two days of the summit, we were exposed to great examples from faculty, students, and staff OER leaders.  We heard about building collaborative partnerships, bringing in marginalized and student voices, faculty developing OER, state and national support efforts, library and librarian integrations, and students taking actionable steps to grow OER in FL institutions.  We know that attendees have already begun to use those two days to strengthen and grow collaborations and networks across the state.  If you missed any of our speakers or were unable to attend the Summit, presentations and summit materials are currently being reviewed and processed for public display.
