This document discusses developing open education policies. It defines open policies as laws and rules that facilitate the creation and improvement of openly licensed educational content. Adopting open policies can maximize returns on public investments and promote openly available global resources. Open licensing policies typically address how an institution will license content created by staff and how they will require grants and contracts to produce openly licensed works. Common characteristics of effective open policies include being specific, collaborative, transparent, allowing feedback, including evaluation measures, and processes for revising policies that are not working. The document asks questions about aligning an institution's mission and vision with open education practices and how open strategies could be integrated into operational and academic plans.

Evaluation and how do we evaluate (data and stories) 6. How do we change if not working? 7. How will be policy be enforced?

Editor's Notes
- Presentation title slide… following the opening slide (containing the large Open Textbook project logo). Introduction: 20 minutes How many work in an education environment? How many have heard of an open policy? What it is? Have any of you created an open policy for education?
- Open policies promote access to, and open licensing of, resources financed through public funding. Open policies can maximize the impact of public investments in science, data, education, libraries, archives, museums, software and other resources through the efficient use and reuse of resources for the public good.
- The adoption of open policies can maximize the return on public investments and promote a global commons of resources for innovative reuse. Publicly funded resources should be openly licensed resources.

- Following the Ebola crisis and the concerns of the delay of critical information, the World Health Organization convened discussions on developing norms and standards for sharing data and results during public health emergencies. The Zika emergency tested these actions and 11 international journals including The New England Journal of Medicine, PLOS, Springer Nature, and Science journals, pledged that they will make all papers concerning the Zika virus freely available to anyone under a Creative Commons CC-BY license. Former US Vice-President Joe Biden announced his support for Open Access research to his $1 billion Cancer Moonshot initiative. He highlights the public expenditure towards cancer research “And by the way, the taxpayers fund $5 billion in cancer research every year, but once it’s published, nearly all of that taxpayer-funded research sits behind walls. Tell me how this is moving the process along more rapidly.” This gets to the heart of the message that Publicly Funded Resources should be Publicly Available- Open and Free. NASA is a shining example: The open source code that allowed NASA researchers to remove blur from the flawed images from the Hubble Telescope would later be repurposed for breast cancer screening.
- Popcorn style – Amanda to record- ask the why, more information, etc.
- Go to website Work together to come up with an open educational resource policy… which ones can you see as implementable, what questions do you have?
- Silent self-reflection by individuals on a shared challenge, framed as a question (e.g., What opportunities do YOU see for making progress on this challenge? How would you handle this situation? What ideas or actions do you recommend?) 3 min. Generate ideas in pairs, building on ideas from self-reflection. 5 min. Ask, “What is one idea that stood out in your conversation?” Each group shares one important idea with all (repeat cycle as needed). 5 min.
