Connecting People to Support Open Education

The Maricopa Millions OER project is now facilitating a mentoring program by which faculty and staff who are new to open education may connect with experienced OER practitioners and makers.

Mentorships are open-ended and largely up to the mentor and mentee to define. Overall, mentors should make themselves available to their mentees to answer the occasional question or engage in discussion about best practices related to developing and using open resources.

Benefits for Mentees

Expand your knowledge of OER
Learn from an experienced practitioner / maker
Have a point of contact for when you come across a question related to an OER project

Benefits for Mentors

Learn about new ideas and projects across the district
Share your wisdom and expertise
Earn the Maricopa Millions "OER Mentor" badge (super cool!)
