Faculty Managers,

Exploring OERs is something that would work incredibly well as a Faculty-ED initiative. You might, for example, try running a 5-week mini-focus on OERs, working through one of these questions each week. EDs can look at various resources, find their own (and add new gems to this site), and explore the issues and questions from the perspective of your own discipline area. Perhaps you can also start work on a Faculty-wide resource of discipline-specific OERs, reusing and adding to some of the resources that are in this site, and developing your own strategy for working with academics in this area, perhaps with a goal of moving the main focus of their time away from content and towards the activities and assessments that students are involved in.

However you decide to proceed, good luck!
