SUMMARY:Senior Leaders Open Education Briefing
DESCRIPTION:Designed by the Open Education Network (OEN)\, this free\, 1.5-hour virtual briefing helps higher education decision-makers leverage Open Educational Resources (OER) to address institutional priorities\, boost student success\, and build sustainable campus programs. Questions may be directed to open@umn.edu. \nWhy Attend \nThe American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) recognizes OER implementation as a High-Impact Practice (HIP) proven to lower course withdrawal rates\, improve academic achievement\, and accelerate time-to-completion—particularly for historically underserved students. Beyond driving down textbook costs\, OER and Open Educational Practices (OEP) enhance classroom equity and strengthen institutional resilience in a rapidly changing digital landscape. \nKey Outcomes \n\nAlign with Strategic Priorities: Connect OER to student affordability\, retention\, workforce readiness\, and AI integration.\nExamine Research & ROI: Review national AAC&U data on student metrics and financial savings models (including Z-Degrees).\nLeverage Open Licensing: Understand how Creative Commons permissions enable flexible\, student-centered learning and open pedagogy.\nDrive Institutional Action: Access an interactive strategy tool to transition OER from pilot projects to sustainable\, institution-wide programs.\n\nWho Should Attend  \nProvosts\, presidents\, vice presidents\, deans\, directors\, and governing board members\, along with campus OER champions and support teams. \nSponsors \nMidwestern Higher Education Compact\, New England Board of Higher Education\, Southern Regional Education Board\, Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education.
