Abstract
The new service model of the Open SUNY Textbook Project, positions the project to become the OER Hub of SUNY. The new service provides campuses with a support structure to help scale-up OER initiatives at the campus level and share their content with SUNY and the world. The service model provides:
- Platform for OER creation, remixing and adoption
- Exist Open SUNY Textbook services such as peer review and copy editing
- Profession development opportunities and OER consultation
- Membership in a robust OER mentorship program
The new model is designed through the work of several IITG funded projects for OER creation and dissemination. This new model allows for the existing SUNY OER community to connect within one organization and assist colleagues at other campuses with their OER initiatives.
