SUNY OER Services (SOS) works with SUNY campuses and faculty to provide access and knowledge to support the adoption of open educational resources (OER). Additionally, SOS provides resources and faculty development opportunities to promote active learning and strengthen student success while aligning to existing student success initiatives. 

Since 2017, SOS has played an integral part in significantly reducing financial barriers to higher education for SUNY students. In this presentation, participants will explore the offerings provided by SOS and its partners.
