Session 3E | Sustaining and maintaining a system wide OER collaborative

Abstract

The Driving OER Sustainability for Student Success (DOERS3) Collaborative is a group of 28 (and growing) public higher education systems and statewide/provincewide organizations that are committed to supporting student success by promoting free, customizable open educational resources (OER). Launched in 2018, DOERS3 helps member organizations implement, scale, and sustain OER by advancing research and policy, sharing tools and learnings, and showing how OER can foster equity and student success. Join steering committee members as they share the lessons learned over the last four years of how to sustain and maintain an system wide volunteer-led organization. Presenters will share challenges as well as stories of impact from each of the three working groups: Equity, Research and Capacity Building. In addition, presenters will share what is next for the DOERs organization and how audience members can work with their institutions or organizations to become members of the DOERs collaborative.
