Michigan Colleges OnlineThe OER Faculty Conversation series provides an opportunity for faculty from two and four-year institutions to hear how their peers are using OER in their classrooms. The final session of the year will feature NMC’s Lisa Blackford discussing her Social Work course. Each session allows featured faculty to provide an overview of what they are using, adjustments they made, challenges and opportunities along with a question and answer time. The focus this year is on courses that have been identified by the Michigan Transfer Pathway Projects, are offered at community colleges and will transfer to four-year institutions to satisfy program requirements.
