MHEC will host the National Consortium of Open Educational Resources (NCOER) webinar on May 10, to share how the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) and its affiliated researchers recent study's finding show evidence of OER pedagogical benefits.
NCOER is a partnership of the four higher education regional compacts focused on increasing access, affordability, and equity of open educational resources (OER). OER are high-quality teaching and learning materials that are free for educators and students to use, customize, and share. These partners engage new opportunities to enable substantial research, develop open education solutions that promote equitable learning, and support coordination across regions to scale and sustain use of OER across the country.
The four compacts include: Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC), New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE), Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), and Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). This partnership expands current OER efforts in each region and coordinates research activities and sharing across regions.
