1. SPARC’s Open Education Initiative

SPARC is the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, an advocacy organization that “works to enable the open sharing of research outputs and educational materials in order to democratize access to knowledge, accelerate discovery, and increase the return on our investment in research and education.”

SPARC offers the following OER resources, in addition to their listserv (included in the listserv section of this document):

• Open Education Leadership Program: SPARC’s professional development program to empower library professionals as leaders for open education on campus.

• Connect OER: This is a platform for institutions to join and represent the work they are doing at the institutional leave and discover information about OER activities across North America, and access their annual report. WRLC members can create a profile page for their universities.

• OER State Policy Resources: Provides OER State Policy Tracker and the OER State Policy Playbook.

• OER Mythbusting: Collaboratively developed resource dispelling the most common OER myths. This tool is a useful resource for OER campus advocacy & workshops.

Community colleges were among the first in higher ed to embrace OER, hence they often have deep insight into what works when implementing programs and working with various stakeholders. It is worth considering that many transfer students who come to 4 year schools from community colleges come having experienced the benefits of OER.
