Carolina Rossini, a Fellow at the Harvard University Berkman Center for Internet and Society and Coordinator of the Brazilian Open Educational Resources Project, will be on the MSU campus to give a presentation on the Implications of Open Educational Resources (OER) in Higher Education. OER describes learning materials that are freely available for use by educators and learners as well as a growing movement focused on sharing and collaboration.

Carolina is also a consultant for the Brazilian Embassy in Washington and contributes with research on innovation in energy for UNDP.
Carolina will be joined on a panel discussing OER by MSU’s Ethan Watrall (Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Anthropology and Associate Director of Matrix) and Sunnie Kim (Creative Technologies Strategist and OER Specialist at MSUgobal).
