Open Educational Resources (OER) have the potential to democratize education and make knowledge accessible to all. However, without conscious efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, OER materials may inadvertently perpetuate biases and marginalize certain groups. DOERS (Driving OER Sustainability for Student Success), a collaborative of 37 public U.S. and Canadian higher education systems and statewide/province-wide organizations, developed The Equity Through OER Rubric, a framework to define, unpack, and explain the multiple dimensions of equity and foreground the role of OER in closing equity gaps.

The Equity Through OER Blueprint is composed of three sections: an overview with the theoretical frameworks and research foundation used to develop the rubric, the rubric itself, and case studies. The case studies showcase how the Equity Through OER Rubric can be utilized in diverse institutional and system contexts.

This session will introduce participants to the Equity Through OER Rubric, which covers various aspects of equity, including representation, cultural relevance, accessibility, and language. The rubric offers a structured approach for assessing an institution/system’s capacity for adopting and scaling OER efforts through an equity lens and identifying areas that may need improvement to better serve diverse learners. The session will highlight a real-world example of how the rubric has been applied to an established OER initiative, showcasing the process of identifying and addressing areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.
