In this presentation, two research and instruction librarians will present specific tips and tricks of taking over an established OER university program. They will present on communication and marketing strategies, developing an OER Mini Grant website, new program ideas, and designing OER workshops for other UNCG librarians. We will also talk through challenges faced and ideas for future improvements, such as incorporating copyright workshops into the OER Mini Grant requirements. And lastly, we’ll talk about ideas to get teaching faculty and librarians to contribute OER materials back into repositories.
Learning Outcomes: Participants will learn how an OER grant program is implemented through marketing, workshops, cross-campus collaborations, and faculty outreach. In addition, participants will get practical advice on how to evolve an existing OER program based on the experiences of two librarians who took over OER initiatives at their library.
