Resources for Advocating for OER in Promotion, Tenure, and Faculty Development

Below are a collection of resources to help faculty with conversations around using Open Educational Resources toward promotion and tenure.

DOERS3 - OER in Tenure and Promotion
The Driving OER Sustainability for Student Success (DOERS3) Collaborative is a group of 37 public higher education systems and statewide/provincewide organizations that are committed to supporting student success by promoting free, customizable open educational resources (OER). Launched in 2018, DOERS3 helps member organizations implement, scale, and sustain OER by advancing research and policy, sharing tools and learnings, and showing how OER can foster equity and student success.
Toolkit for Open Education in Promotion, Tenure, and Faculty Development
This resource was developed by a working group from the Iowa Open Education Action Team (Iowa OER). Our team built upon DOERS3's OER in Tenure & Promotion Matrix to help faculty and staff advocate for the inclusion of open educational practices (OEP) in promotion, tenure, and faculty evaluation practices at their institutions.
