Have you ever thought about developing your own materials for your course? Affordable Learning Georgia and GHC are hosting a half-day professional development event: Breaking the Textbook Barrier: Developing Great Open Educational Resources. Whether you’re interested in creating OER, looking to level up your skills, or just curious to see what all the fuss is about, this event is perfect for educators and college staff at all levels.

The event will feature two panel sessions with experienced OER content developers who have created resources across multiple formats—from textbooks and videos to interactive tools and more. Plus, a third session will highlight three outstanding OER projects, offering inspiration and practical examples. Join us to explore the potential of OER and connect with a community of passionate educators from around northwest Georgia and beyond!
