About Us

OER and Beyond is a space to build community and conversation around open educational resources, open access, open data, open pedagogy, and more in higher education. Our goal is to encourage our peers to share their work, offer recommended practices, and raise awareness of the important work being done in the open community within higher education.

OER and Beyond was started by Samantha Peter and Kristina Clement in 2019 and became the official blog for the Journal of Open Educational Resources for Higher Education in 2021. We are pleased to introduce you to our current editorial team:
