How Students Created the Open Education Movement

Description:

Open Educational Resources (OER) have gone from an aspirational idea to a concrete reality now used by nearly 1 in 10 professors across the country. What most people don't realize is that students played a key role in creating the OER movement and continue to drive it today. This panel brings together current and former student OER advocates to discuss where the movement has been, where it is going, and how higher education can put students first.
