| Sept 19 | Collaborative Platforms for Open Content Development
As more colleges are promoting the adoption of OER to expand access and improve completion rates, collaborative platforms for publishing open content are becoming more critical. Faculty, librarians, and instructional designers are often working in teams to curate, adapt, and format openly licensed content for entire courses. We will hear from several stakeholders who have adopted collaborative platforms to streamline the process from course outline to delivery of fully OER courses and open textbooks.

| Oct 17 | Different Approaches to Sustaining Open Education
What happens after your first OER project is a success? You have to find a way to sustain your efforts! From professional development and policies to securing ongoing financial support for OER work, we are all looking for ways to keep our efforts in OER growing. Hear strategies from multiple colleges on how they are sustaining and expanding open education programs through blended funding and alignment with course redesign and student success programs.

| Nov 14 | Transforming Learning with Open Educational Practices and Pedagogy
Open educational practices enable new ways for students to learn and create knowledge.

| Dec 5 | The Impact of OER Adoption on Cost, Outcomes, and Stakeholder Perceptions
Open educational resources (OER) efficacy research shows that the use of OER does not negatively impact student success metrics such as grades, course completion, retention, and persistence rates. In numerous research studies involving more than 46,00 students across different types of institutions, Hilton (2016) found that students performed comparably in courses using OER vs. traditional materials. Hear from 2018-19 Open Ed Group Fellows who will share their research on open textbook adoption at multiple institutions including textbook adoptions in high-enrollment, multi-section introductory courses (psychology and economics) at Lansing Community College.
