Strategies for Scaling and Sustaining OER Initiatives

Feedback form is now closed.

What are common challenges around growing OER adoption, and what are successful strategies for tackling these challenges?
What models are institutions pursuing to sustain their OER initiatives, and why?

Whether you are starting up or scaling up, this workshop invites participants to explore common challenges around growing OER adoption, and successful strategies for sustaining initiatives at your institution. During the session, you’ll use Lumen Learning's OER Champion Playbook to identify strategies to help you achieve your goals for making a significant impact with OER. We’ll also invite the group to share the lessons learned. Attendees will take away a planning template that can clarify actions to take when you return to campus after the Summit.
