Looking Back on 2024

[Iowa OER]

Good afternoon, Iowa OER friends!

Today I am glad to share with you all our end of year newsletter for 2024. This one page handout summarizes some of the major projects that the Iowa Open Education Action Team has worked on this year. Please feel free to review the handout in our shared Google Drive or download a copy attached to this email.

A few key highlights this year include:

• The development of the Iowa OER Promotional Toolkit to share adaptable marketing materials for local open education initiatives
  
• Our new interactive dashboard featuring key results from our annual survey
  
• Our continued OER communities of practice program, which is supporting over 20 instructors from across 10 colleges this fall.
  
• A new webpage on our site dedicated to OER aligned to common transfer and dual enrollment courses (with more to come)! This project is the newest, and will evolve as we continue to work on it.

And as always, you can find many of our projects shared on the overarching "Resources" page on our website.

As we look ahead to 2025, I hope you'll continue to share your ideas with us so we can continue to develop and share high-interest projects for the OER community in Iowa.

Sincerely,

Iowa Open Education Action Team
