As we begin the 3rd Annual HBCU Affordable Learning Solutions Summit, our focus will be on sharing the pioneering efforts of HBCU’s implementing their AL$ programs. Sharing lessons learned and enabling colleagues to incorporate exemplary practices into their own programs will help advance the HBCU communities goals. We will also share the innovations being explored and provide the social support for the campus leaders to be successful on their campus.

Recipients of the Hewlett Affordable Solutions Grant will form a panel to discuss OER professional development on their respective campuses and solicit ideas and suggestions from audience participants. In addition to professional development for faculty, training opportunities for involved staff will also be included. Examples of OER professional development are national training programs, incentive-based initiatives, training in course development, and quality assurance.
