Abstract

A qualitative study conducted with 13 faculty instructors at Waterloo on their interest, motivation, and use of OER informed seven recommendations made in this white paper. Recommendations are grouped in three categories: new framings for the OER conversation, new practices for institutions, and new supports for institutions. Each recommendation represents a concrete direction for higher education institutions looking to improve local OER uptake.
