Back to school with HERO (Higher Education Resources Online)

New postcards for a new year!

We love working with the folks at the Higher Education Resources Online – and we are getting great reviews back from others using the site. As we head into Year 2, we sent some new postcards out as a reminder about the site as a resource.

“I appreciate that there is a venue where higher education faculty can network and share resources.  There are plenty of resources available to practitioners, but not necessarily resources designated for higher ed faculty.  A couple of definite resources that I highly recommend are the Cultural and Linguistic Resources for IL Higher Education and the archived webinars.  There are several resources that I found on the site that I could use in class such as the video: “What Does My Head Scarf Mean to You?”  If we, as in ECE faculty, consistently added to the resources, we would have a large library of resources easily accessible.  Adding an resource is an extremely easy process. “

“HERO is a wonderful, centralized location for all kinds resources I may need.  I go to looking for one thing and always end up investigating and reading many other great posts.”
