Open Education 2015

Whether you are a seasoned open education advocate or a newcomer to the movement, planning successful a campus-wide initiative to expand OER adoption can be challenging. This session will provide a crash course on advocacy campaign planning to develop and strengthen campus-based OER initiatives, drawing on the experience of successful case studies and the expertise of the two veteran grassroots organizers leading the session. Topics will include stakeholder engagement, strategy development, messaging and communication, and awareness raising, with emphasis on the important role that students play in leading the charge. During the session, participants will start working on their own action plans, and walk away with a template to bring back to campus.
