On February 1, 2019, the OER Initiative (OERI) was formally launched. Its mission was to reduce the cost of educational resources for students by expanding the availability and adoption of high-quality OER. With the OERI’s 6th anniversary just 3 months away, what documented impact has it had for our colleges, faculty, and students? What obstacles to OER adoption have been overcome – and which ones still persist? What should our system’s priorities be with respect to OER and addressing the educational costs for our student? Join us for an overview of what was, what is, and what can be.
