Grants to this Grantee
for support of organizational diversity, equity and inclusion capacity to advance educational equity
for exploring the viability of introducing open textbooks in higher education in the United Kingdom
The Open University was founded in the U.K. in 1969 to open up higher education to all, regardless of circumstances or location. The university will explore the viability of introducing open textbooks in U.K. higher education. The project will also test the generalizability of two open textbook adoption models currently supported by the Program: the OpenStax model and the Open Textbook Network approach.
for the Global OER Graduate Network
The Open University’s Global OER Graduate Network is an international network that connects Ph.D. researchers (and their supervisors) who are studying issues related to OER through seminars and online community building. The network will continue enhancing the diversity of its members, drawing out important research findings, and sustaining a community of students and researchers. A robust OER research infrastructure and increased use of high impact research will support mainstream OER adoption.
