Literature Review on OER Strategy Development

The aim of this project is to undertake a literature review on best practices for developing open education strategies, with a focus on any examples applicable to academic libraries and/or the wider Canadian post-secondary context.

This project produced a literature review on best practices for developing open education strategies. As an appendix, I included links to any existing examples of university libraries and/or Canadian post-secondary open education strategy documents that would be useful.

Below are screenshots of a sample entry [text blocked for privacy reasons] to present the formatting of the literature review, as well as the reference list.

Each entry included the reference, objective of the resource, where the research was set, a summary of the contents, and best practices provided.
