Abstract
This paper supplements the interactive video presentation that showcases the development of the OER Commons Digital Dexterity Educators group, exploring the barriers encountered and subsequent solutions developed. In sharing the OER Commons snakes and ladders story that has emerged from CAUL’s Digital Dexterity Community of Practice (CoP), the presentation will demonstrate the path we took to implementing an open educational resource sharing group. Our experience aims to inform the development of cross-institutional digital sharing for other communities.
