Do We Need a National Open Education Strategy? Results from our Community “Open” Conversations

March 7, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm GMT

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, invited 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 built on a discussion started at the 2023 Open Education Conference. To include as many voices as possible, there were three community sessions. All who are interested in open education were encouraged to participate.

This session will share the results from those conversations. Representatives from DOERS3, NCOER, and SPARC facilitated these conversations.
