Program Description
In April 2018, the UC Berkeley Library launched a campus-wide OER publishing platform to provide faculty, staff, and students with a simple and centralized portal for creating and finding OERs and other online works. Originating out of a multi-pronged approach to support and encourage course content affordability measures on campus, the publishing platform came about to address a specific need: while the Library had been incentivizing OER use through grants to faculty, we realized that we lacked an easy way to help people create them. In this presentation, I will share details and insights from our process so that other universities working on affordability initiatives can come away with ideas and tips for implementing a campus site of their own.
I present a simple 5-step framework for implementation that can be adapted to each institution’s specific context:
Step 1: Platform selection and licensing
Step 2: Creation of user policies and terms of service
Step 3: Website development
Step 4: Outreach and training
Step 5: Platform maintenance and analytics
