What is OER?

Open Educational Resources are course materials with specialized copyright licenses that allow us to retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute them without breaking copyright law or jeopardizing intellectual property. Click here to learn more!

TAT Grants

In the Spring of 2018, the MHCC Foundation offered the TAT $50,000 ($10,000 annually for five years) in OER grant funding. Click here to apply!

External OER Grants

Copyright and Licensing

Copyright law can be daunting but we have resources and librarians to help you understand the basics of the 5R’s, Attribution statements, and choose the best open license for your work.

Statewide Initiatives

There are many regional OER initiatives happening throughout Oregon, including grant programs, mandatory course labeling, and email listservs to sign up for.

Student Success

By offering MHCC students affordable textbook solutions, we will remove a major obstacle to student success. Unaffordability of higher education is one of the biggest obstacles to students accessing, persisting, and completing their college education.
