OpenNJ

OpenNJ
Open NJ is a statewide initiative undertaken by VALE to provide New Jersey college and university faculty with a space to share Open Educational Resources and expand our knowledge and adoption of OER. By creating this common space, Open NJ aims to provide a way to search for resources over multiple schools, and to grow the use of OER on individual campuses.
