OER Initiatives have traditionally started with the goal of reducing costs for students in order to support timely degree completion. These are important, but alignment with institutional metrics related to accreditation and strategic goals such as how student learning is affected by the use of OER and whether OER adoption improves equitable outcomes can help make the case for ongoing support for your program. This webinar will help you to understand what type of data ought to be collected and how to link your OER initiative’s outcomes with other institutional metrics such as Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Presenters include open education leaders at equity-driven organizations and those who have worked with their institutional research office to link OER programs with the strategic plan.
