The ISAT2 is an institutional self-assessment tool to assess capacity to support open educational practices. This multidimensional instrument builds on earlier research in British Columbia Morgan et al. (2021) and the Netherlands (van Rossum & Schuwer, 2022) and assesses capacity and maturity related to: vision and implementation; partnerships, policies, and incentives; professional development; institutional supports; leadership and advocacy; and culture change. The ISAT2 is openly licensed and available in English and French. This presentation will introduce the ISAT2 while sharing preliminary findings from a survey of colleges, universities, and Indigenous institutes in Ontario, Canada.
