Working Groups
The Open Education Association’s Working Groups are time-bound, member-driven groups designed to advance key program goals and expand opportunities for members to contribute meaningfully to the association’s work. Each group has a defined scope and deliverables, and all members are welcome to follow along, join sessions, and stay connected.
Research Working Group
The Research Working Group will focus on guiding the association’s plans to support open education research. This includes reaching out to other organizations and networks currently working on open education research and making recommendations to the steering committee about where the association can best contribute.
Professional Development Working Group
The Professional Development Working Group will focus on how the association will support professional growth and recognition within the field. This includes making recommendations regarding how the association can increase recognition for outstanding work and advising on the potential design of a mentorship program.
Outreach Working Group
The Outreach Working Group will guide the plans for the association to conduct outreach beyond the open education community and elevate the issue with influential audiences, such as administrators, disciplinary faculty, and policymakers. Activities will include developing a list of organizations and conferences to prioritize, and advising on the design of a program to provide travel funding for members to present at relevant events.
