Open educational resources have gained momentum across K-12 and higher education by providing flexible materials that educators can adapt for learner needs, but have been largely underutilized in adult learning. The session will share insights from the U.S. Department of Education’s Power in Numbers initiative, which worked with 33 educators to pilot OER in adult education. Project experts like Christina Ward will discuss how OER and edtech more broadly can transform learner outcomes.
