On a path to open: A report on the capacity of Ontario’s post-secondary institutions to support open educational practices

This webinar will share a preview of a forthcoming report on the capacity of Ontario’s post-secondary institutions to support open educational practices (OEP). The report is based on a Province-wide survey of Ontario’s colleges, universities, and Indigenous institutes conducted between February and July 2024 using an updated version of the institutional self-assessment tool (ISAT2). The webinar will include a brief overview of the development of the ISAT2, followed by a summary of results, including strengths and weaknesses across various dimensions of support for OEP across the post-secondary sector. The webinar will conclude with recommendations and practical strategies for institutions seeking to further develop their capacity to support OEP.
