SUMMARY:ExplOER Nevada Symposium
DESCRIPTION:This free one-day virtual symposium will take place from 9 a.m. to 3:10 p.m. on Friday\, March 6\, 2026\, and is aimed at bringing higher education faculty together to discuss and learn about how to use open educational resources (OER) and open pedagogy. \nThis year’s theme is is Reimaging Learning Beyond the Textbook. The symposium will feature an opening keynote from Karen Cangialosi\, professor emeritus at Keene State University and an open education advocate who co-founded the RIOS Institute\, a group that supports open STEM education. Cangialosi has also worked as part of the Regional Leaders of Open Education Network and helped advance open education at Keene State University by leading a change to adopt open educational resources in most biology courses. \nHer keynote will provide inspiration for faculty seeking to reimagine their teaching practices. Attendees will gain insights into how open education can foster innovation\, equity and student engagement across disciplines. \nJoin a statewide community\nOpen education has gained momentum nationwide as colleges and universities seek innovative ways to improve student success\, reduce costs and expand access to knowledge. While saving students money on textbooks is a well-known benefit\, the movement goes far beyond affordability. Open educational resources (OER) and open pedagogy practices empower faculty to design flexible\, engaging and inclusive learning experiences. They encourage collaboration\, creativity\, and the co-creation of knowledge between instructors and students. \nExplOER Nevada is more than a conference — it is a growing community of practice. By participating\, faculty will connect with colleagues across institutions and share strategies for overcoming challenges. The symposium provides a platform for educators to learn from one another and to contribute to a collective vision for the future of higher education in Nevada.
