The WashU Open Educational Resource (OER) Interest Group meets monthly to prioritize and execute OER initiatives that increase awareness of affordability needs and OER activity across campus and build support, infrastructure, and incentives for OER activity to progress. Members bring skills and competencies in the areas of copyright, open access, information literacy, project management, preservation, and hands-on experience using and promoting OERs.

  • The Auditing Subgroup identifies existing support and seeks to build an understanding of needs to better inform group activities.
  • The Outreach Subgroup promotes activities, resources, and aids in instructor perceptions of value.
