With nearly two decades of experience in the world of Open Educational Resources, EDU Essentials Consulting can provide educational opportunities from the basics of creative commons licensing to consulting on how to develop an OER program for your institution.

The Loss/Momentum Framework workshop and program provides the support, structure and knowledge to faculty to analyze their course through four phases of a student’s experience in a course (Connection, Entry, Progress, Completion) for loss and momentum points. Loss points are those times that students are more likely to get poor grades, skip assignments or stop attending classes. Momentum points are those times students get excited by the work and are more engaged in the course. After identifying these loss/momentum points, faculty can then create interventions, implement them, and evaluate the results - improving student outcomes.
