Outline

A Quick Guide to Open Education

An introduction to the history of Open Education and basic topics such as definitions, open licensing, and responding to common questions and concerns.

Building a Program

Starting your own OER initiative: building your team and talking about OER in your community.

Program Management

The meat of your work as a program manager: what types of programs might you support and how do you support them effectively?

Training & Professional Development

Building competency: training faculty as well as your team members.

Supporting OER Adoption

How to help people make the switch to Open: course conversion considerations, finding OER available, and evaluating what you find.

Supporting OER Creation

The second biggest part of your job as an OER program manager: managing and supporting faculty who want to create a new OER, from the tools they use to the places you host it.

Collecting & Reporting Data

Now that you’ve got an OER program, how can you continue to support it? Collecting data on your work and its impact is important, and knowing how and where to share that data is equally important.
