This talk takes a step back into the national perspective on open education policy, practice, and emergent trends that will impact the future of this work in Colorado and beyond. We will cover the latest developments in federal legislation and funding, what kinds of initiatives are happening in other states, and some of the key strategic challenges ahead. It also offers concrete tools and best practices to support leadership and effective advocacy for open education to benefit students.

“We are at a critical
juncture where there is
a pressing need for the
academic community –
individually and
collectively – to make
thoughtful and
deliberate decisions
about what and whom
to support, and under
what terms and
conditions.”
