In this session, our goal is to generate ideas for our shared, open future, using a method that you can replicate at your own institution. We’ll use a design thinking strategy called “card sort” to explore our priorities for growing and sustaining open education programs and practices. Working independently and with colleagues, we will invite you to sort illustrated cards that represent common investments and outcomes made in OER programs at the institutional or consortial level. The idea is to examine how we think about our priorities, understand how others do the same, and consider how we can collaboratively support one another. Meanwhile, look out for some wildcards! What would you put at the top of the deck, because you believe it would be an effective way to increase openness in your environment? What do you value the most, considering the cards you’ve been dealt? Exploring possibilities beyond time and money, and through a prioritization process, we will invite you to reflect on how you can address limitations in growing an open culture, as well as how we might collectively shape a more open future. We will structure this exploration by centering our humanity, examining our collective abundance and considering a handful of concrete possibilities. You’ll walk away with new human connections, ideas about how to approach your priorities, and a fun strategy for engaging others in a fresh way.Included in
