Krysta, We’re just starting to have the conversations at the U of S about OER and indigenization. These were the key topics that we brought together at the recent Teaching and Learning Today conference. You may find the videos of some of the major sessions useful for starting some conversations. https://teaching.usask.ca/tlt2018/watch-live.php Heather M. Ross (B.A., B.Ed., M.Ed.)

I'm hoping to recruit some other open educators to share their experience with the project team (instructor, doctoral student, librarians, and me).
