2026 Colorado OER Conference

This roundtable will consider how Open Educational Resources (OER) can support the development of flexible, skills-focused credentials that respond to evolving learner and institutional needs. As higher education continues to adapt to rapid labor market changes, OER offers a sustainable way to update learning materials, align programs with emerging fields, and remove cost barriers that often limit student participation and success.

Participants will explore how open resources can help institutions design more responsive curricula and expand equitable access to skills-based learning opportunities. Building on work by DOERS (Driving OER Sustainability for Student Success), this discussion aligns with Colorado’s goals to promote affordable learning and strengthen pathways from education to employment.
