Abstract	The study explored usage patterns of the Learning Support Centers in Higher Education (LSCHE) web portal, an open educational resource (OER) that serves learning support center professionals. Results of an online survey taken by LSCHE users (N = 41) tracked their self-reported usage and perceived value of resources on the web portal, which received an average rating of 3.3 out of 5.0 on eight characteristics. LSCHE scored highest on relevance of resources (3.8) and clarity of homepage (3.6). Lowest scores showed a need for improvement in ease of locating resources (2.9), timeliness (2.9), and ease of navigation (3.1). The article will also address the continued evolution of the web portal. (As Provided).
