Class Description
Faculty awareness and use of open educational resources (OER) in 2023-24 saw a measured decline for the first time in almost 10 years, according to Bay View Analytics. Academic libraries have done their best to promote textbook affordability and faculty awareness of OER through targeted outreach efforts, including spearheading faculty OER grant initiatives. These provide opportunities for faculty to learn and collaborate together, raising recognition and increasing institutional culture around open practices.
This session will highlight a case study from a large, urban university library. Discussing our OER faculty grant initiative, this session focuses on the development of a series of self-paced online training modules delivered via Canvas, aimed at building faculty competencies around open education, open licensing, and open pedagogy. Considerations for creating learning objectives and module content will be highlighted, in addition to strategies for advancing a community of practice among faculty. We will also describe how we designed learning objects and assessments. Qualitative and quantitative data from the past three training cohorts will be included. Finally, change opportunities for future faculty trainings will be considered, and an open curriculum will be offered.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this class, students will be able to:
- Gain strategies for designing effective OER faculty learning modules
- Gain ideas on fostering faculty community around open education in an asynchronous learning environment
- Adopt or adapt an open curriculum for their own OER faculty initiatives
