• overview of research into OER benefits and obstacles
• identification of professional recognition as key motivator for OER/P participation by faculty
• section on institutions with successful OER policies
• proposals for moving forward on institutional policy-making
• appendix with opinions and suggestions from OER practitioners

OER uptake will hit ceiling if only OER production incentives (resources/time) are offered

Faculty members will not ignore career incentives (tenure/promotion)

Institutional policy can balance universal OER goals with local campus culture

This doesn't address precarious instructors directly (but influences the recognition of teaching among the professoriate, and that will trickle down to other levels)

Production incentives still needed for contract faculty

Lack of professional recognition

Lack of clarity regarding intellectual property rights to educational materials

Lack of instructor awareness of OER 

Lack of resources to participate in OER creation

Lack of courage (i.e. fear of time/effort required)

Textbook costs undermine student success by limiting access to learning

Evolving publishing practices remove choice and threaten to lock students into commercial products

Engaging with learning materials as creator/adapter increases instructor-student connection

I’ll explain what OER and OEP are, how they help both students and instructors, and why institutional policy can lessen the obstacles preventing university instructors from committing to OER and OEP. I’ll also discuss a workshop I’ve created to help educators wishing kick-start open education at their institutions.]]> 2020-03-09 11:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456814271 skidmore https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456814272 2020-03-09 11:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456814272 skidmore https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456815112 A recent article in The Conversation based on the report.]]> 2020-03-09 11:58:41 UTC https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456815112 skidmore https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456815250 Interview starts at 10'22".]]> 2020-03-09 11:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456815250 skidmore https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456818920 2020-03-09 12:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456818920 skidmore https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456819010 2020-03-09 12:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456819010 skidmore https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456819179 2020-03-09 12:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456819179 skidmore https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456819364 2020-03-09 12:06:56 UTC https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456819364 skidmore https://padlet.com/skidmore/openeducationcte/wish/456820407 OERs:
