Redesigning and Reimagining:
Your Course with OER
Join us for a virtual lunchtime discussion about how you can use Open Educational Resources (OER) in your courses.
Meet Lehman College's OER Team and learn about available resources for faculty interested in exploring OER. This presents a great opportunity for faculty seeking to make updates and changes to syllabi, interested in exploring how OER can provide greater access for students in their courses, especially when considering digital options.
Topics covered will include:
- What is OER? Basic Introduction to Licensing, Reusing, and Remixing
- OER as High Impact Practice
- Introduction to Open Pedagogy
- Finding OER
- OER Funding Opportunities and Additional Programming
We especially welcome faculty new to OER – curious about OER programming at Lehman – who wish to learn more before converting a course to OER.

Monday Mentor: How Can I Gauge Online Learning Through Engaging Activities and Assignments? |
Monday, October 26, 2026
Available through Sunday, November 01
In this 20-Minute Mentor session, learn how to adapt and expand your traditional assignments—and integrate creative new ones—to effectively gauge student comprehension in an online environment. You will receive practical tactics and frameworks to evaluate remote learning, design more engaging activities, and become more attuned to how well your students are mastering course material.
Learning Goals:
- Use activities in live sessions to gauge student comprehension.
- Implement several kinds of asynchronous activities that can be employed to check for understanding.
- Understand how assignments can be used to determine what particular skills and understanding students in an online course have and have not yet attained.
Offered by Magna's 20 Minute Mentors. Lehman Faculty register for a free account here.
These practical and informative sessions are tailored to higher education faculty. Released each Monday, these videos are available to watch at your convenience for one week.
