● Publishers oligopoly impacting instructor’s academic freedom
● Lack of awareness of no/ low cost alternatives
● Lack of understanding of Open licensing/ Open Access
● Challenging discoverability of Open academic resources
● Biased perception of Quality of OER

We want to encourage and support the adoption, adaptation and creation of OER/ low cost alternatives to provide students with high-quality, innovative learning materials, empower Faculty and Teaching staff to exercise their full academic freedom and to invite all campus-players to make evidence-based decisions that are all geared towards enhancing current teaching practices at the UofL.
