Happy Monday!

I wanted to share something we recently launched to promote the increased use of free and open educational resources in adult education. 

CrowdED Learning just launched its first Skill Directory—a set of 11 subject-area PDFs, each of which includes a listing of comprehensive, free resources that can be used to support instruction in each subject area. Each PDF can be downloaded, or can be copied over as a Google Doc into Drive so you can add whatever additional resources you might want. 

I am posting to share information about a new service-learning course offered by Designers for Learning, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. This project-based course is designed as an opportunity to "gain experience for good". Participants in the free online course will gain instructional design experience, and support high quality resource development for adult education. As the final project in the course, participants will create and share open educational resources (OER) for adult education that are aligned to the College and Career Readiness Standards.
