The OER movement focuses on removing barriers to student access, provide greater pedagogical freedom to faculty and encourage the sharing of academic media in new ways.

Contact IMFacultyLab@howardcc.edu to partner with an instructional designer on the design and material selection of an OER-supported course or reach out to [|HowardOpen] for additional resources and support. || **Open Educational Resources**

Open Educational Resources (OER) are materials that can be used in your course at little or no cost to students. True OERs are also copyright free and can be modified as necessary by anyone.
