Is Open Education a relatively new concept on your campus? Are you interested in kicking off fruitful conversations about OER among faculty, students, and other stakeholders, but don’t know where to start? This presentation will describe three low-stakes ideas for introducing OER in a university setting and for beginning to develop a local community of Open Education supporters and practitioners. While the ideas presented are based on events hosted at Gonzaga University in 2019-2020, suggestions for adapting them to your own institution and to an online environment will also be shared.
Learning Outcomes: At the end of this session, attendees should be able to: 1) Articulate the benefits of creating campus conversations around OER; 2) Develop ideas for starting OER conversations at their own institutions.
