Advocating for OER, One Step at a Time
Wed March 4, 2026 @ 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm GMT
Learn how higher education institutions across New Mexico are advancing open educational resources through advocacy. Panelists from Central New Mexico Community College, Eastern New Mexico University, Northern New Mexico College, Santa Fe Community College, and the University of New Mexico will discuss what OER advocacy looks like in different institutional settings, large and small.
The discussion will cover short- and long-term planning, plus, how to create smaller, focused activities that can yield tangible results. Attendees will leave with concrete ideas for sustaining OER awareness, working together with faculty, and increasing Open Educational Practices (OEP).
