EDEN NAP Webinar – Institutional Approaches to Supporting Open Educational Resources (OER), 7 December 2022
In this session, we will explore institutional approaches to support Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Educational Practices (OEP). We will explore open policy and practice at the Meso level of the institution and explore ways that Universities are building capacity and acting as enablers of innovative open practice. Starting with Lorna Campbell sharing the University of Edinburgh’s story of embedding openness. Then, Professor Burgos will share the experience of OER policy and practice development at Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR). Dr Carina Ginty will then share the Atlantic Technological University (ATU) project DigitalED which serves as a good practice example of embedding open at scale. Finally, Fiona Schmidbauer will share the story of how DHBW Karlsruhe supports OER in their context.
