The Colorado Commission on Higher Education on Friday approved 27 proposals that provide more than $875,000 in funding for Open Educational Resources (OER) projects throughout the state, including a project at Northeastern Junior College. OER are high-quality teaching, learning and research resources that permit free or repurposed use and are legally available to students for free or very low-cost. NJC will receive a $31,000 grant for “Removing Educational Barriers at Northeastern Junior College to Form a New Northeastern QER Nation.”
