Extended Abstract: 

Natalie Peeterse will discuss the process of designing several Certified Nurse Aid (CNA) specialty courses as Open Education Resources. The courses were designed with re-usability in mind. These nimble and flexible resources can be used as eight week online academic courses at two year colleges, or as training at healthcare facilities, or as the curriculum for healthcare apprenticeship programs through the Montana Department of Labor and Industry. The resources will eventually be stored at SkillsCommons.org, which is the repository for all resources created with federal grant dollars. They will be available nationally and are intended to be re-used efficiently.
