As the Open Access movement continues to accelerate, it is also broadening in scope. OA in the context of scholarly communication and scholarly publication is moving beyond journals, monographs, and data to encompass additional varieties of content tied to higher education and scholarship.
This SSP Community Engagement regional event will look at two areas in education that illustrate this shifting landscape: Open Educational Resources (OERs) and the Open Syllabus Project (OSP). How can open strategies support education in the most effective way possible? What are OERs and who is publishing them (or thinking about publishing them)? What are the opportunities, challenges, and risks posed by these resources? What is the goal of the Open Syllabus Project? How is the OSP working with publishers already and what are future plans? And how can these initiatives offer new perspectives on publishing, learning, scholarship, and research? This panel brings together representatives from Temple University and The American Assembly at Columbia University to lead a discussion about these questions and opportunities in developing and linking OERs and OSP at local campuses and beyond.
