OER in Practice Lunch Sessions with SCC Colleagues

Have questions about the practical steps that go into creating/adapting and implementing an OER (Open Educational Resources) in your course?  The OER Steering Committee has asked two of our SCC faculty colleagues to share their experiences in creating/adapting OER for their courses/programs– including brief presentation/demonstration and time for questions. This is a chance to connect with peers at SCC to learn about their process as well as challenges and opportunities in adapting OER.
