Supporting and Sharing the Open Education Journey
At Pressbooks, we’re proud to support people and organizations at all levels of maturity in their open education initiatives, from publishing their first book to launching and growing substantial digital libraries of interactive books.
One of the defining traits of the open education community is how widely and generously it shares knowledge. Attend a single webinar and you’ll find the comments flooded with adaptable materials and frameworks. Ask someone about their LibGuides and you’ll have a list of helpful resources at the ready.
Sharing knowledge, resources, and lived experiences is essential for open education to thrive as we discover together what’s possible for this movement. With this in mind, Pressbooks has created our own practical guide to help organizations progress in their open education journeys. It’s rooted in our Open Education Maturity Model framework, designed to help navigate growth, address common challenges, and achieve sustainable impact with open education.
In This Guide You’ll Find:
- The Pressbooks Open Education Maturity Model—A simple planning framework for growing open education initiatives
- The Pressbooks OpenEd Field Guide—A curated selection of helpful resources for OER champions and practitioners, mapped to the maturity model
- On-Demand Webinar: Mapping Your OER Journey—An expert panel sharing insights and lessons learned about the OER journey
- OER Repository: The Pressbooks Directory—A repository of educational content with over 6,300+ open access books, including “Collections” for student-led OER, high enrollment courses, language learning, interactive OER and more.
Where Are You in Your Open Education Journey?
To help surface patterns and insights about how open education initiatives progress, Pressbooks developed the Open Education Maturity Model, informed by our work with institutional partners. Whether you are just starting to evaluate the place for OER at your institution, or you’ve been leading a mature open education initiative for years, this framework offers a chance to pause and reflect on your goals and how to deliver lasting impact.
