Jumpstart Your OER Publishing Program:
Building Momentum and Impact
Launching an OER (open educational resources) publishing program can be an exciting and challenging journey. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to reinvigorate existing efforts, there’s always something new to learn.
Join us on Wednesday, December 4th for the next webinar in our Open Education Journey series to gain actionable strategies for early success. We’ll hear from four Pressbooks partner institutions that have made impressive gains in OER publishing in a relatively short time frame. They will share best practices for how to build momentum, generate institutional support, and set the stage for long-term impact.
You’ll learn about:
- Key success factors and activities that contribute to an effective launch of OER publishing programs
- Strategies for building stakeholder buy-in, institutional and leadership support
- Insights about impact metrics and how to demonstrate the value of your open education initiative
- Advice on how to handle common obstacles, so that they don’t derail your forward momentum

About the Open Education Journey Series
The Open Education Journey Series is a series of webinars rooted in the Open Education Maturity Model—a framework for understanding how open education initiatives develop. This framework takes into consideration the goals, mindsets and essential questions to consider from early awareness-building through measuring and expanding sustained impact.
This planning model was developed by Pressbooks in consultation with institutional partners and informed by work supporting hundreds of organizations engaged in open education projects.
