Getting Started with Course Marking

Course marking, or tagging courses that utilize OER, low-cost, or other no-cost course materials provide students with the power and agency to make informed course registration decisions based on their own financial situations. Practitioners from the Northeast, Marcel Raisbeck, Kevin Corcoran, and Andrew McKinney, will provide a broad overview of course marking definitions, share examples, and provide attendees with a roadmap to get started.
