Jenni Hayman, Program Manager for eCampusOntario will provide insight into new strategies that may help launch and sustain higher education open working groups. Using the Ontario Open Rangers as an example, Jenni will describe her work with this new community of practice, and share the Open Ranger Toolkit. In this brief session I will cover the basics of the eCampusOntario Open Rangers initiative and describe some of the strategies for community building for higher education open working groups. Elements of the Open Ranger Toolkit will be shared and participants will be invited to describe challenges and successes starting or sustaining open working groups on their own campuses. The ed tech tool Padlet will be used (a collaborative digital whiteboard) to capture participant input and reflection, all materials will be linked and shared.
