The Connecticut Open Educational Resources Coordinating Council released their 2022 legislative report which names Middlesex Community College among the top 10 state colleges with students enrolled in the OER state-funded grant program. According to the council’s website, the program was implemented in 2019 “to strategically support Connecticut higher education institutions’ efforts to increase access, affordability and achievement for students through the incorporation of open educational resources (OER).” The 2022 report, released on January 31, summarizes the council’s efforts through a statewide survey on the promotion and adoption of OER in high-impact course areas, a state-funded grant program for the review, adoption and creation of OER within high impact course areas, and the promotion and support of OER through professional development opportunities.
