The OER Passport – 2018
Mountain Heights Academy developed The OER Passport as a professional development program that trains teachers and students on OER by completing six tasks. At the beginning of the year, each faculty member receives a physical passport and as they complete each task, they receive a stamp on that page.

The tasks are designed to invite students to learn about OER, how to appropriately license OER, and to co-design and publish OER along with their teacher.
