eCampus Center’s Open Education Development Series brings new resources

Six new Open Educational Resources (OER) have been developed by faculty who participated in the summer 2025 offering of the eCampus Open Education Development Series. OER and open pedagogy have many benefits for students including improved grades and retention, affordability of courses, accessibility of content and empowerment through knowledge creation. Publishing these OER will not only have local impact by benefiting Boise State students, but will also benefit students in similar courses around the globe.

The Open Education Development Series program is a five-part scaffolded exploration of open education (including OER and open pedagogy) targeted to faculty teaching online courses. It is designed to support their understanding and engagement with this innovative instructional approach. This series helps build the expertise needed for the successful adaptation of OER and to bridge the gap between a great idea and practical application in the online classroom.

The next series will begin in March 2026. Visit the Open Education Development Series website to learn more about this opportunity.
