Hi everyone,
As a follow-up to the session on national advocacy many of you attended at OpenEd23, SPARC, DOERS3, and NCOER are organizing a webinar series next month to open up the discussion more broadly. The session at OpenEd generated a lot of interest, and the hope is to engage more of the community in thinking about how open education might better coordinate in response to the challenges we face.
I’m including the invitation below if you are interested in circulating it to your networks (all are welcome, but noting that this is U.S. higher education focused). I also realize it has been quite some time since this group got together to discuss strategy, so it would be great to set up time soon - perhaps once we have data from these meetings so that can be part of the conversation.
Let me know if you have any questions, and please feel free to share the invitation widely!
Cheers,
Nicole
Do We Need a National Open Education Strategy? An “Open” Conversation
Open education has made remarkable progress, yet the evolving landscape continues to present challenges. As open education work continues to grow at institutions, in states, and across regions, questions increasingly surface about how we might coordinate and advocate more effectively as a field. This includes how to advance open education policies at the national and state level, how to reach institutional leaders, and how to expand sustainable funding.
NCOER (a collaboration among the four regional education compacts), working together with DOERS3 and SPARC, invite members of the open education field to join us for an open conversation about the potential need for U.S. national open education strategy and discuss how we might better collaborate to advance shared priorities. This will build on a discussion started at the 2023 Open Education Conference.
To include as many voices as possible, there are three options for when to join. All who are interested in open education are encouraged to participate.
