Learn about how HBCUs are creating a more inclusive canon of OER

About this event

Although more learners and educators continue to adopt and create open education resources (OERs), there has been a dearth of culturally-relevant content created by and curated for underserved and underrepresented populations. In this Open Learning Talk, we’ll hear from members of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and learn about their journey to opening up and creating a more inclusive canon of OER for HBCUs and the world.

This event was free and open to the public. Watch the recording on the OL YouTube channel.
