Celebrating all that happened at #OpenEd21! Read our new blog post to find out what inspired first-time attendees and veterans about this year's conference. The theme "Making Open for All" put action for equity and inclusion at the center of programming. https://t.co/1B9ArhROZw

An important shoutout to our university librarians and library faculty by @ChatenJessel. Library faculty are the glue that hold #OER together. Campus libraries are crucial for connecting students and instructors to #OER resources. #OpenEd21

[Cailyn Nagle @CailynNagle]

. @ChatenJessel on “holistic environment support around open education” combined with yesterday’s themes of solidarity and collective action just give me so much hope. Open is best when it’s about strengthening our whole communities! #OpenEd21

[Michelson 20MM Foundation @Michelson20MM]

.@ChatenJessel "Student government is a great place to start" on #OER. I couldn't agree more (especially as the Academic Affairs VP 😉) But as Chaten mentions, #OER needs to become a bigger conversation in student government spaces. #OpenEd21

[Hailey Babb @haileybabb]

For #cdnpse folks at #OpenEd21, check out this panel of student leaders from across 🇨🇦 talking about OER advocacy and how you can be an ally to the student movement. @merecuke2000, @emmamdrake, @ChatenJessel, @lydia_houck and others, you are amazing! https://t.co/bEM3wkhfjF

"We're hoping for some kind of movement, some kind of commitment to fund it (Open Educational Resources) potentially because there is a very high demand for it and need for it." - VP Academic, Semhar Abraha

Q7: What are some policies that have to be changed at your home institution in order for ZTC signifiers to become a more viable option? #aboerjc

[Chaten Jessel @ChatenJessel]

@DocBlom Do you by any chance know of some concrete policy that has been implemented in these provinces to support OER growth beyond just providing funds? I've been hearing about policy a lot recently and would love to advocate for it more from the students side #aboerjc

[Chaten Jessel @ChatenJessel]

Q5: What does your ideal environment of support for #OER at your institution look like? What are some actionable ways that you could work towards it? #aboerjc

[Chaten Jessel @ChatenJessel]

Q6: The idea of Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) signifiers being put on classes has been gaining traction recently. Have you heard of ZTC before? If so, how do you think this will impact progress towards #OpenEd? #aboerjc

[Chaten Jessel @ChatenJessel]

@CordeliaSnowdon Its funny because I was recently told this same thing by library staff at my own institution. They mentioned how well the student led Op-Ed piece set the stage for the future of #OER in Alberta #aboerjc

[Chaten Jessel @ChatenJessel]

Q4: #OpenEd has been championed by individuals such as yourselves for a very long time, how do you think students can best support your work? #aboerjc

[Chaten Jessel @ChatenJessel]

@KlamnJam Do you believe that incentivizing OER creation through grants etc would be a good way to tackle this problem? #aboerjc

[Chaten Jessel @ChatenJessel]

@CordeliaSnowdon @mru Hi Cordelia, thank you so much for being part of the discourse tonight! I echo the sentiment that education should be barrier free and accessible for all #aboerjc

[Chaten Jessel @ChatenJessel]

Q1: Tell us a little bit about yourself and why you think adopting #OpenEd /#OER is so important for post-secondary students #aboerjc

[Chaten Jessel @ChatenJessel]

@DocBlom Would you be willing to expand on OER integration in C21 learning? Its not something I am totally familiar with, but after a quick google search it seems like an amazing initiative! #aboerjc

[Chaten Jessel @ChatenJessel]

@KlamnJam Absolutely. Creating OER is such a collaborative process where all parties are able to contribute and learn valuable skills! #aboerjc

[Chaten Jessel @ChatenJessel]

Q3: What do you think the major barriers are, beyond funding, as to why #OER hasn’t been more widely adopted by instructors in post-secondary education? #aboerjc
