Salt Lake Community College's mathematics department won the Digital Learning Innovation award from the Online Learning Consortium, presented Nov. 13 during the annual OLC Accelerate Conference in Orlando, Florida. The award, which includes $100,000, recognizes efforts by SLCC's math department and the college's Faculty Development and Educational Initiatives office to incorporate free online educational resources (OER) into the school's math curriculum. OER materials are online learning resources that can be legally and freely downloaded, edited and shared. SLCC's OER initiative is dubbed OPEN SLCC. https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/18/11/p12704115/slcc-math-department-wins-national-award-for-oer-efforts
