- Work together to design an open education workshop.
- List individuals and roles that you would like to celebrate and highlight at your institution.
- Make a list of resources that your institution currently has that support open education. Then go through the examples of open resources at different institutions. Look for gaps. What resources can your group develop or adapt to support open at your institution?
