Opening Up During a Pandemic: Starting an Open Educational Resources Fellowship for Allied Health and Health Sciences Faculty

This presentation will describe our experience establishing an Open Educational Resources fellowship for allied health and health sciences faculty in the middle of the novel coronavirus crisis. We will describe our prior work with OER, our experience applying for a grant from the Network of the National Library of Medicine-Middle Atlantic Region, and how we have started our grant project and plan to continue with it through the uncertainty of the coming months. Additionally, we will provide tips from our own experience about how to advocate for OER and how to position OER as a permanent solution to an emergency teaching situation.
