Faculty Insights on OER Courseware & Lumen Circles

Hear from faculty working with Open Learning Initiative from Carnegie Mellon University

I have been an OER champion for many years, and I think being able to have flexibility in how and what you teach is vital to student learning.

Being able to customize the course material you use is so important for student success.

Nicole Simon, Nassau Community College

Hear from faculty working with Waymaker

My students were receiving messages right away as they were completing their quizzes.

This has improved my relationships with my students so much that I started using the same approach in my other classes.

Sam Miller, Hudson Valley Community College

Hear from faculty using OHM

If you think about first year experience, it’s all about giving them the tools and the information that they need to transition effectively into college and be successful….I didn’t want money to be an accessibility issue.

Marya Howell-Carter, Farmingdale State College

Hear from faculty participating in Lumen Circles faculty development courses

How has Lumen Circles helped me? I have learned so much over the past two fellowships that I’ve done, to the point where this past year I got an award for excellence in teaching from the university. So it really has made a difference!
