The Iowa Open Education Action Team is excited to announce our fourth annual call for participants for our OER Communities of Practice
The purpose of these communities of practice (CoPs) is to support instructors across the state who want to connect with peers over a shared interest in open educational resources (OER). Participants in this program will have the chance to foster connections, build expertise, and identify, adapt, or create OER to support their work. Instructional designers are also encouraged to apply to build connections with the instructors in the CoPs.
This year, we plan to support cohorts for the following disciplines: 
  • Psychology
  • Teacher Education
  • Environmental Science & Agriculture
$100 will be provided at the end of the academic year to support the instructors who participate in at least 6 monthly meetings and complete an assessment reflecting on their experience in the community of practice.

Important Dates
  • September 12: Applications are due
  • September 19: Applicants will be notified of acceptance
  • October: Virtual kickoff event
