ABSTRACT
Sharon leads the Office of Educational Technology’s higher education innovation initiatives. These include the recent Higher Ed Ecosystem Challenge, the EQUIP Experimental Sites Initiative, and the Higher Ed National Educational Technology Plan. Sharon works with offices across the Department and with stakeholders to think about implementing programs and technology-enabled solutions that broaden access to postsecondary education to all students, especially those traditionally underserved populations. Prior to joining OET, Sharon oversaw the design and implementation of the Department of Labor’s $2 billion Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant program, the largest federal investment in postsecondary innovation and systematic infrastructure change. Sharon can often be found leaping from boulder to boulder with a heavy backpack and dreams of becoming a park ranger when she grows up.| Keywords | OER future · OER innovation · OER policy |
