LBCC Hosts first OER Mini Conference
The Future is Free
Long Beach City College hosted its first OER Mini-Conference on April 26.
The mini-conference featured four sessions that addressed how faculty could meet the needs of students while still maintaining a high academic standard of textbooks and ancillary materials.
More than 70 faculty registered for the conference. Participants were inspired and motivated by the presentations, which resulted in a steep increase in OER adoptions in the weeks following the mini-conference.
