Summary:

In this interview, Apurva Ashok, Director of Open Education at The Rebus Foundation, talks with Colleen Cressman about the open education initiatives Apurva leads at The Rebus Foundation, including its open education and professional development arm, Rebus Community. Among its programs, the Rebus Community offers courses and webinars for faculty, librarians, university staff, and institutional leaders in order to, as Apurva says, “demystify open publishing and encourage OER creation, remix, and adoption.” Apurva details the Textbook Success Program at the Rebus Community and discusses future developments that will involve alumni from previous cohorts. She also identifies challenges, such as broadening individuals’ understanding of OER as more than just cost-saving mechanisms and the need for greater integration of OER in the educational ecosystem, especially at the secondary level and above.
