Open Texas<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With two conferences now in the books, the annual Open Texas Conference is still going strong! The inaugural Open Texas Conference<\/a> was a great success, with over 1,100 registrants and was held virtually on March 11 & 12, 2021. It was co-organized by the Texas Digital Library,<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0Digital Higher Education Consortium of Texas,\u00a0and the\u00a0Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board<\/a>\u00a0and co-hosted by the\u00a0University of Houston-Downtown<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Houston Community College<\/a>. Attendees from all over Texas and beyond had the opportunity to network with other OER advocates and explore some of the great work that their colleagues are doing with OER.\u00a0Recordings of the sessions are available on the\u00a0Open Texas YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2022 the Texas Digital Library, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and DigiTex again came together to co-organize the 2nd annual Open Texas conference,<\/a> which also met virtually from September 21-23.\u00a0Spanning three full days with 96 speakers, 1,076 registrants from 25 states and 4 countries, and a variety of presentation formats, there was something for every practitioner of OER. Stayed tuned for recordings of the conference sessions, coming soon!<\/p>\n","column_2":"

The second survey, conducted in 2021, informed our most recent report, Advancing an Ecosystem for Open Educational Resources. <\/i>With 111 colleges and universities responding, analyses of the survey data — and a comparison to data from Open Educational Resources (OER) in Texas Higher Education (2019)<\/a>\u00a0 — reveal an ever-expanding OER landscape in Texas and help inform future statewide activities to support Open Education.<\/p>\n","column_2":"
