This eCampusOntario webinar, facilitated by James Skidmore, Associate Professor and Director, À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Centre for German Studies, and Open Education Fellow at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, panellists will identify signs of progress and discuss where open educators might best concentrate their efforts to make a difference in institutional policy.

One of the issues preventing greater instructor involvement in open education is professional recognition; they question whether the effort required will be rewarded. Top-down signs of support (e.g. acknowledging open educational practices in tenure and promotion) are rare; bottom-up activism feels like an uphill battle. Can anything be done?
