Next Steps: Beyond the Learning Community

Engaging with OERis not just about adopting new materials—it’s about fostering a culture of openness, collaboration, and continuous learning. As this learning community comes to a close, your role in the OER movement is just beginning. Whether you are developing new resources, refining existing ones, or advocating for open practices within your department at UVA or beyond, your efforts contribute to a more accessible and equitable educational landscape.

The resources that follow provide guidance on sustaining and expanding your OER work.  By continuing to explore, create, and share, you help strengthen the foundation of open educational practices both here on Grounds and within the larger academic community.
