This presentation will highlight the most effective strategies to encourage faculty to adopt OER (open educational resources) while protecting academic freedom, how to write an effective plan to increase OER use, and what key benefits to students and faculty to focus on while discussing OER with your administrators, faculty and students. The session will also include discussion of the journey of Rice University’s successful OER project, OpenStax, and especially the lessons Rice University learned along the way that are applicable to any college or university developing an OER initiative.
