UHCC OER Office Hours Friday October 7 at 11 am

With students returning to more face-to-face instruction since 2020, OER awareness and usage continues to increase with the growing acceptance of digital course materials. These are some of the findings in the Bay View Analytics’ 2022 report, Turning Point for Digital Curricula. The report’s data was collected through surveyed higher education teaching faculty at 1,316 institutions representing all fifty states and the District of Columbia. They have provided a concise but informative infographic highlighting some of the study’s findings.

Jason Yamashita and Junie Hayashi be discussing the Turning Point for Digital Curricula’s infographic at the next OER Office Hours on Friday, 10/7/22 at 11 am.
