Creator Fest: OERTX Edition

A collaboration between Open Stax and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board

About

OpenStax began hosting Creator Fest in 2018 to bring together educators, administrators, and staff who believe in the potential of open educational resources (OER) to transform learning. We asked the education community what would be most helpful and we listened when members responded with a resounding “resource creation event!” This year, we are excited to bring you Creator Fest: OERTX Edition, a collaborative virtual conference hosted by OpenStax and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB).

On February 17th and 18th, educators, staff, administrators, and advocates from across Texas will come together to create and revise OER. What they build will be used by educators and learners across Texas and throughout the world.

Groups

Join a group and begin collaborating with peers to evaluate, create, and share resources.
