EUGENE, Ore.—The WICHE Cooperative for Educational Technologies (WCET) has awarded Lane Community College one of three WCET Outstanding Work (WOW) awards for innovative use of educational technologies in higher education.
Lane was the only community college and the only Oregon institution to win an award. The other winners were the University of Central Florida and the University of North Carolina.
Lane was honored for its Open Educational Resource (OER) Faculty Fellowship which helps faculty create and use OERs in their courses. This saves students money by reducing textbook requirements and increasing the number of textbook-free courses.
