This summer the Open Education Network (OEN) is pleased to introduce OEN Engage! The inaugural, four-day virtual event invites the OEN community to celebrate our collective knowledge, individual strengths, and commitment to serving the common good through open education. All members are welcome, and there’s no cost to participate.

The Open Education Network (OEN) acknowledges and celebrates the librarians who completed the 2022 Certificate in OER Librarianship.

The Open Education Network (OEN) congratulates Amanda Larson, Affordable Learning Instructional Consultant at The Ohio State University, recently selected for the OEN 2022-2023 Faculty Fellowship.

Summit Watch Parties are designed to enable guests to gather and participate in groups as they feel comfortable. The OEN launched this on-site/virtual hybrid as an option for members who miss the in-person interaction and personal connections sparked by Summits past. 

The Open Education Network (OEN) would like to acknowledge and celebrate the librarians who completed the 2021 Certificate in OER Librarianship. In addition, a hearty thank you to our wonderful instructors: Will Cross, Cheryl Casey, Mandi Goodsett, Jeanne Hoover, Wayde Oshiro, Elaine Thornton, Lily Todorinova, and Michael Whitchurch.

The Open Education Network (OEN) extended community came together in June for the 7th annual OEN Summit, a five-day virtual event that prompted engaging discussion and exchange of open education strategies. Organized by the 2021 Summit Planning Committee, this year’s event featured a broad cross-section of OEN members who shared outcomes and insights drawn from their experience with open education initiatives.

Updated in June 2021, the new Open Education Data Dashboard is a platform that has been thoughtfully revised to improve Open Education Network (OEN) members’ ability to collect and manage data, streamline communications, and coordinate work through governed access and selective sharing of information. 

The Open Education Network (OEN) announces the naming of its first Faculty Fellow, Jasmine Roberts, who teaches at The Ohio State University’s School of Communication. 

The Open Education Network (OEN) is pleased to welcome the Certificate in OER Librarianship 2021 cohort! This is the certificate’s third cohort, comprised of 64 librarians, who will be working to build sustainable, collaborative, and effective open education programs on their campuses.

Jared Erlien has been working as a Student Admin for the Open Textbook Library (OTL) since summer 2018. To celebrate Jared’s graduation from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, we asked him about his experiences working for the OTL and the insights his work in open education has brought him.
