Call for Participation: OER Communities of Practice

[Iowa OER]

The Iowa Open Education Action Team is excited to announce our third annual call for participation 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. Read the full call and learn more.

This year, we plan to coordinate communities of practice for the following disciplines: 

• Business
• Health Sciences
• Mathematics/Statistics
• Other Career & Technical Education (CTE) fields

Apply now to participate in the 2024/2025 OER Communities of Practice!

$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 16: Applications are due
• September 27: Applicants will be notified of acceptance
• October 4: Virtual kickoff event with special guest speakers!

If you have any questions about this opportunity, please send them to Abbey K. Elder (ael...@iastate.edu).
