Good afternoon, Iowa OER community!

Based on feedback from colleges and universities across the state of Iowa, Iowa OER is excited to launch a new service for institutions that need support with their open education initiatives: institutional consultations!

Through this project, individuals at colleges around the state will be able to submit a consultation request form to ask for support with your open education initiative. The request form provides flexibility for you to share information about your initiative's progress and any specific issues you may be facing. After your request is received, you will be paired with a volunteer consultant who matches your needs.

Because this work is supported by volunteers, consultations are short-term engagements and should last no more than 1-3 hours in total. Still, we hope that this service will help build competency and comfort with open education as more colleges in Iowa delve into open education work.

Note: This service is focused on supporting the "behind-the-scenes" OER work that staff and faculty manage, not individual courses. For faculty looking for specific OER, we recommend working with your local OER support staff or a librarian near you.

If you have any questions about this service, let us know!

Sincerely,
Iowa Open Education Action Team
