Open education is a fundamental part of student success in institutions of higher learning. Many librarians are critical in advocating for and leading open education programming. This graphic poster aims to share how librarians have been at the forefront of cultivating the next generation dedicated to the open movement. It highlights ways librarians can influence students on campus and beyond to become advocates, leaders, or champions of the open education movement. The presenter researched existing literature and conducted a brief survey among librarians to gather qualitative data on ways the younger generation in higher learning institutions can mold into future leaders and advocates for open education.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Apply strategies to mentor young leaders and advocates of open education in their environments.
- Consult scholarly works about ways young open education leaders can be cultivated.
