Open Education Resource (OER) work requires an engaged community to be successful.

This poster will share how iOPEN became a community of practice and suggest strategies to create your own OER community of practice.

Spanish For Native Speakers & The Oregon State Seal Of Biliteracy, Joe Romero

Open Educational Resources Symposium

OER provided the chance to create a needed text for an initiative to bring the Oregon State Seal of Biliteracy to Higher Education, starting at Chemeketa Community College.

What Can Oer Advocates Learn From The Traditional Faculty Textbook Adoption Experience?, Rick A. Stoddart

Open Educational Resources Symposium

Previous research has demonstrated the positive impacts that Open Educational Resources (OER) can have on student retention and learning, but these connections may not be compelling enough to persuade faculty to adopt OER resources in lieu of traditional textbooks and materials. What are OER advocates missing? What could OER advocates do better or differently? To be successful with OER, it is important to understand not only what OER are replicating or replacing in the classroom, but also understand the whole faculty experience around textbook adoption. How do faculty hear about textbooks? How do vendors communicate to faculty? What are faculty …

Customizing A Business Law Textbook At Linn-Benton Community College, Keith Tierney, Michaela Willi Hooper

Open Educational Resources Symposium

In 2017 Keith Tierney, a business law instructor at Linn-Benton Community College (LBCC), was fed up with the high cost of his commercial textbook. Not only was it upwards of $300, it wasn't customized to his learning outcomes and editions went out of date quickly. He saw the announcement for LBCC's Textbook Affordability Grant and reached out to LBCC's OER Librarian, Michaela Willi Hooper, to learn more. Michaela helped him find an existing business law OER and get it into an editable format (Microsoft Word). Keith went through training with LBCC's Center for Accessibility Resources and learned how to use …

Why Chemeketa Press Doesn't Make Oers (Mostly), Brian Mosher

Chemeketa Press does not make its books available for free because we are pursuing a self-funding publishing model that lives somewhere between the realms of traditional publishing and OER production. We want to present our model to people interested in the OER model to show how similar goals can be achieved through different means.

Pcc's Equity And Open Education Faculty Cohort, Jen Klaudinyi

Open Educational Resources Symposium

Learning materials used in the classroom are a social justice issue. Traditional textbooks can present barriers to students in the form of cost as well as in the narrative embedded within the content. This year PCC designed and implemented a 2-part professional development opportunity: the Open Education and Equity Faculty Cohort. We asked instructors to explore intersections between open education, culturally responsive teaching, universal design and open pedagogy and then to implement some of their learning in curriculum revision. This poster will provide an overview of the cohort design and our experience leading it.

Finding and evaluating existing open educational resources (OER) offer particular challenges to faculty and librarians.

Implementing A Campus-Wide Oer Publishing Platform At Uc Berkeley, Maria Gould

Northwest IR User Group

In April 2018, the UC Berkeley Library launched a campus-wide OER publishing platform to provide faculty, staff, and students with a simple and centralized portal for creating and finding OERs and other online works. Originating out of a multi-pronged approach to support and encourage course content affordability measures on campus, the publishing platform came about to address a specific need: while the Library had been incentivizing OER use through grants to faculty, we realized that we lacked an easy way to help people create them. In this presentation, I will share details and insights from our process so that other …
