ASCCC OER Initiative

Welcome to the ASCCC OERI Canvas space. When the OERI was first established we used this space to share information. Today, we continue to use the Calendar and Conversations. The ASCCC OERI Canvas Calendar is populated with all of the OERI's events that are available to a general audience. And Conversations is used to share information informally.

As open educational resources (OER) are specifically emphasized in the legislation, and as OER is one of the most sustainable approaches to eliminating textbook costs, the OERI has been tracking the progress of the program. The Chancellor’s Office is holding regular office hours to answer questions from the field about the ZTC Program.
