Today's Brown Bag Event to Highlight Open Educational Resources
Brown Bag lunch topics highlight technology features on our campus.
Elaine Thornton with the University of Arkansas Libraries will present on Open Educational Resources (OER) during the Wednesday, Feb. 20 Brown Bag lunch. During this event, the OER team will discuss how to find, create and distribute open educational resources in current courses.
