NMOER Community of Practice Meetings 

The NMOER Community of Practice meetings are held Fridays from 10:30–11:30 a.m. and provide a friendly, informal space to connect with colleagues working on or thinking about OER. Participants are welcome to drop in at any time—there’s no expectation to stay the whole hour. These gatherings are a chance to share project updates, ask questions, discuss challenges, and exchange ideas. The goal is to create an inclusive community that supports one another and offers a sounding board to move forward.
