Let’s take a look at the ways O.E.R. have emerged in the news lately. 

  • CityTech’s O.E.R. Librarian, Cailean Cooney, was featured in a recent article about online learning. Cooney notes that “faculty are generally very sensitive and aware of our student population,” and that the program is structured to support their needs.

  •  Another article from InsideHigherEd posits O.E.R. as an “institutional survival strategy, making the pitch that O.E.R. is a “win-win.”

  •  The Justice EReader is a new project developed at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, “offering a collection of key texts on the topic of justice, broadly defined, that functions as an intellectual hub for conversations about justice among undergraduate students and their teachers at the college.” As an O.E.R., this project is freely accessible for widespread use.

If you’re still not clear about the dynamics of O.E.R. in the classroom, check out our previous blog post reflections by O.E.R. Fellows. Also, you can take a look at the O.E.R. developed within the Fellowship at CityTech, here.
