OERs in Grad Programs
by Ali de Haan 06 Aug '20

06 Aug '20

Hi All, I'm having a discussion with a few of my planning committee members and could use examples of OERs used at the grad level. They seem to think it is something used at the undergrad level only. If you have any examples of courses/programs at your institutions or can point me to any grad specific resources, I'd love to hear to them. Thanks in advance, Ali
