Recognising scholars' OE initiatives

Hi Barbara, I’m sorry you’ve not gotten any replies to your question (familiar feeling). To echo what you wrote in the launch of this topic:

Perhaps it might help if you could share if known a specific example of what you are looking for?

I’m surmising you seek examples of where open education practices or research are built into institutional promotion/tenure/review?

Rummaging in my pile of links I remembered a number of people working with the DOERS3 effort on OER tenure and promotion

And follow up work led by Amanda Coolidge at BCcampus, e.g. this OEWeek session in 2022

I recall also efforts shared by @lcbyoung at the Maricopa Community Colleges for a matrix of OE competencies which might have been tied into academic standing (fuzzy memory, help me Lisa?)

Perhaps relevant too is a post by @Mais about the 6th R being Recognition and how that was being considered at University of Technology Sydney

This article references Open Education in Promotion, Tenure, & Faculty Development by Abbey K. Elder, Mahrya Burnett, Anne Marie Gruber, and Teri Koch Maybe @AbbeyElder who is here can chime in on places to find the examples you seek?

And lastly I was reminded of the UK National Teaching Repository (OE Award winner in 2023) that supported this in a way by creating DOI for academics that uploaded OER, I believe creating a means to document reuse or activity was part of the rationale of this project. Perhaps @Dawne can share any connections of this to promotion / standing.

I’m not sure if this helps but also would like to yell out with you to the many people here to respond to Barbara’s question.
