Georgia Educational Research Association Conference
Higher education institutions are becoming increasingly diverse, and Latinx students are a major contributor to this diversity, as they are the largest and fastest growing minoritized population in the United States.

All materials used in the course were free of cost to students and were accessible through the course learning platform GeorgiaVIEW.
Students in the course completed a project for which only OER were to be used to inform their research. Students therefore became familiar with finding credible OER online. In this presentation, I will discuss the …
