Getting to Open at a Closed Institution: A Case Study of Evolving and Sustaining Open Education Practices

This study examined a Canadian post-secondary institution in the period between 2010 and 2014, with a follow-up assessment in 2018 in order to understand its evolution with open educational resources (OER) and open educational practices (OEP). In the first timeline, the study looked at drivers that...
