Group Membership and Administrator Responsibilities
Groups are collaborative workspaces for creating, curating and discussing Open Education Resources (OER). Groups are also community spaces designed to encourage community participation and engagement. Each Group has a title, description, logo, set of members, shared folders, and threaded discussion boards. Each Group will have one or more administrators. The creator of the Group automatically becomes the group administrator who can then pass or share the role to other group members. If your work doesn't seem to align with the current Groups or you're unsure about which Group to join, please reach out to the Oregon Open Learning Hub Team.
Groups in Oregon Open Learning are for Oregon educators, districts and education partners to collaborate, support and promote the use of educational resources in responsible ways.
