ACM Cohort members receive specialized training in open educational practices and support for converting existing courses to those using free or low-cost course materials. Since 2024, NIU Libraries has received external funding to support the development of OER by cohort members. The OER created reflect a rigorous development process that includes professional copyediting and peer review. Together, these resources demonstrate NIU’s commitment to high-quality, accessible and sustainable teaching and learning materials.
