2027 OERizona Conference

Open Educational Resources (OER) are no longer just a cost-saving strategy—they are a critical foundation for building future-ready, adaptive, and workforce-aligned learning environments. By enabling flexible, openly licensed content, OER empowers faculty to rapidly adjust curriculum in response to evolving industry demands, ensuring that students engage with relevant, real-world knowledge and skills.

Across Arizona, educators and administrators are increasingly leveraging OER not only to reduce financial barriers, but to foster adaptive pedagogical practices—including student co-creation, iterative curriculum design, and industry-informed learning experiences. These approaches position students as active contributors to knowledge while strengthening the alignment between academic programs and workforce needs.

As momentum grows within the global open education community, a significant opportunity exists to build cross-institutional collaborations that amplify impact, share adaptive strategies, and collectively advance a more open, responsive, and workforce-connected educational ecosystem.

Join us for the 9th annual OERizona Conference, where attendees are invited to discover innovative teaching and learning practices, connect with like-minded educators, and explore how Open Educational Resources (OER) and open pedagogy can enhance student success for all learners.
