Overview
The Rebus Community, the open education and professional development arm of the Rebus Foundation, supports institutions’ OER efforts through a year-long, cohort-based program called the Textbook Success Program, as well as other OER-focused professional development. Rebus will partner with two U.S. Department of Education-funded projects to support their OER creation efforts via the Textbook Success Program. Working with the Louisiana Library Network and the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education, they will support the development of 25 OER projects in each state, as well as build out modules related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and OER Efficacy. Findings will be shared via new curriculum, guides, and a project evaluation. (Substrategy: Content, Tools, and Services)
