Faculty incentive programs have been an important and widely used early strategy to promote the adoption, adaptation, and creation of Open Educational Resources (OER) in institutions of higher learning in the United States. However, there is no comprehensive synthesis of the existing literature on the characteristics and outcomes of OER faculty incentive programs to which library administrators can refer when developing their own local programs. This poster uses a scoping review methodology to summarize the existing literature with the overall goal of making research findings more accessible to library administrators and other OER decision-makers. The poster illustrates the reported characteristics and outcomes of OER faculty incentive programs, including program structure, funding sources, application requirements, program deliverables, student savings, and other key data points.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Identify important program outcomes of OER faculty incentive programs.
- Identify key administrative characteristics of OER faculty incentive programs for use in guiding the development of local programs.
