Robin DeRosa @actualham, “I saw the transformative effects of open pedagogy and thought, ‘What if our institutions supported work like this?’ And that’s where the OEN really focuses, taking our collective human power as a group and using it to make systemic-level change in the world."

Pub101 for Authors is a new OEN program supporting open textbook authors. An open curriculum & weekly synchronous sessions explore topics including Accessibility, Project Mgmt, AI Considerations, & more.
“We gathered a lot of input about what authors would ideally take away from the experience,” says Karen Lauritsen, OEN senior director, publishing, "and as always, people were generous with their time and ideas about how to support OER creation.”
