The Rubric is a comprehensive self-assessment tool designed to guide administrators, instructors, staff, and students in evaluating the current state of OER practice at their system or institution. Each of the dimensions targets specific areas that can remove barriers and enhance opportunities for student success. By using the rubric, stakeholders can reflect on strengths, identify areas for growth, and track progress over time. It is intended to provide a structured framework for internal reflection, planning, and continuous improvement, by helping institutions align their OER initiatives with their mission, resources, and student needs. We believe that all higher education stakeholders have roles to play in advancing these goals.

Driving OER Sustainability for Student Success (DOERS) is a collaborative team that works to realize the promise of using high-quality, accessible, and sustainable OER implementation to achieve fairness and student success at scale. In addition to the Advancing Student Success Work Group, DOERS also has work groups focused on research, innovation, and capacity building.

Engaging with the Rubric
Users can engage with this Rubric in multiple ways: as a commitment to engaging with the OE movement, consideration for the effectiveness of textbook affordability, method to evaluate a specific OE program’s progress, and/or tool to assess an entire system’s or institution’s implementation of OE across the curriculum and throughout relevant offices and units.
