How can we keep our OER initiatives moving forward in a time of tight budgets and financial constraints? This webinar explores concrete actions we can take, regardless of funding level, to raise faculty awareness of OER, support faculty in their exploration of open resources and pedagogy, and build a larger coalition of support for institutional OER efforts while maintaining our individual bandwidth and motivation. Join us for a lively discussion about advocacy, encouragement, and sustaining this important work for student success.
