With readily available internet connectivity in our homes plus always on access with mobile devices, we overlook that half of the world's population lacks connectivity needed to reach educational materials designed for online delivery. Outside of metropolitan areas of British Columbia 20% of the province are unconnected. We will demonstrate how BCcampus is exploring the Kolibri system from Learning Equality to make its B.C. Open Collection available in an offline-first environments, including interactivity of H5P exercises. Kolibri offers customization to remix with other open materials (e.g. PHET simulations, Khan Academy) plus course management features one might not expect in an offline platform. Beyond a demo, we challenge the idea of OER being only online, discuss scenarios for offline OER (incarcerated, refugee learners), ways this approach could be distributed, and to influence creators to make their content available to the world through the Kolibri Catalog.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Identify the different underserved communities and populations that do not have access to online educational materials or technology.
  • Understand how the Kolibri platform enables offline-first access to OER
  • Contemplate and contribute to the potential use cases and needs for offline OER.
  • Install the Kolibri application to directly experience the offline capability to use BCcampus content as well as more OER available in the Kolibri catalog
  • Contribute their own OER content to the Kolibri catalog to make available to more offline first learners worldwide

Barriers to Open: Unique Perspectives from Degree Program Leadership
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
The open education community has seen many, many research articles and presentations on barriers and motivators for Open with faculty and student target populations. What we haven’t seen is the perspective of program leadership, such as department chairs. And, though our leadership may not actively participate in Open in the same way that our faculty do, they often have an administrative role over the Open work faculty are doing. This session will present findings from a dissertation research project that examined barriers to Open with program- and department-level leadership as the target population. In addition to the unique population of this study, the research methods also provide a unique opportunity to examine the relationship between discourse among program administrators and institutional policies which revealed inconsistencies that may create additional barriers, particularly to the sustainability of Open work.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Explore barriers to Open from the perspective of degree program leadership.
  • Question whether their program leadership’s understanding of institutional policy is consistent with written documents.

Co-Creating Outbreak and Sequencing Information in Open and Accessible Ways
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
Interdisciplinary seminars and lab-based courses provide participants with the chance to gain insights from various fields. When textbooks lack accessibility or subjects rapidly evolve, students can research and create resources to support their peers' learning. In the Outbreak and Portable Genome Sequencing (PGS) courses at NC State, students collaboratively created Open Educational Resource (OER) case studies on significant public health outbreaks and a lab workbook focusing on Nanopore sequencing. Student groups were tasked with drafting sections for an outbreak investigation document (Outbreak) or preparing samples for sequencing (PGS), resulting in resources with graphical abstracts and protocols. Scholars contributed to outbreak.pubpub.org, and PGS participants are making a Pressbooks workbook. Future student cohorts will enhance existing resources and create new ones. These openly licensed resources ensure availability for the benefit of all.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Describe how to implement co-writing activities in their courses.
  • Explain how the co-creation of resources can help students incorporate different perspectives and practice attribution and citation etiquette.
  • List several advantages and disadvantages of collaborative classwork.
  • Share ideas for how variations of this approach can be implemented in different courses.

Collaborative Courtesy: Charting a Course for Crediting Content Creators
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
Background: As open educational resources (OER) are made and updated, careful crediting of laborers is needed; training and vetted systems still need to be improved. Methods: An OER textbook created with undergraduate (UG) support to write, edit, and design graphics. Contributors are listed on each chapter’s title page by role based on the version history of Google Docs and delegation in Airtable. Expectations are outlined in a contract. On publication, UGs are thanked for their effort and sent guidance on listing the achievement on a resume or professional profile. Results: Across 9 chapters, 12 authors, 8 editors, and 6 designers have been credited. A spreadsheet of collaborators by role was used to double check and a template email was developed. The system evolves with lessons learned. Discussion: Recognizing workers demonstrates care, and crediting efforts avoids plagiarism! Deliberate use of a system supports credit; ours can be used and adapted by others.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Discuss the importance of crediting content creators and the ethical considerations involved in properly acknowledging the work of others.
  • Recognize historical failures and shortcomings in crediting contributors, particularly in academic and creative fields, and understand the negative impact this has had on marginalized groups.
  • Describe our novel online system designed for accurately track and attribute contributions, fostering transparency and accountability.
  • Implement and adapt a well-developed system that allows for seamless crediting of creators and contributors when developing new Open Educational Resources (OERs) or on other collaborative projects.
  • Create a template response for use in thanking contributors and providing guidance regarding how to cite their contribution on their resume and professional profiles.

Creation and Use of an OER Lab Manual for an Introductory Biology Course
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
As a minority-serving institute, our goal is to increase student retention in the Biology major by creating an open educational resource (OER) lab manual. The Basic Biological Sciences II Lab is the 2nd semester in a series of required intro lab courses and is challenging because it covers topics on animal and plant anatomy and physiology. The previously paid manual was not well received by students, where many of the modules and experiments were not consistent with the curriculum. We created an OER manual that was specific to our curriculum. The primary goals for this project were to: 1. Create an OER lab manual; 2. Determine pedagogical evidence that the OER manual was similar to learning outcomes compared to the paid manual; 3. Increase the passing rate of students; and 4. Determine student perception of the lab manual. The results show similar or improved grades when using the new OER lab manual in comparison to the paid manual, with positive student perception of the new manual.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Access the OER lab manual
  • Learn about student perception of the OER manual vs a paid manual
  • Learn about the unique demographics at our institution
  • See grade comparisons from the OER manual to prior semesters

Cultural Humility and Responsive Teaching in Allied Health Prerequisite Courses
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
Anatomy and Physiology (A&P) Courses are often identified as gatekeeper courses because: 1- they are required for many health-related professional programs, and 2- they exhibit high withdrawal and failure rates. The success or failure of A&P coursework within our postsecondary educational system is essential to institutional achievements and our national public health. Moreover, students learning A&P for health majors may require more support than students learning the content for biology majors because of the known disparities in the course prerequisites. This lightning talk discusses embracing cultural humility as educators, recognizing that students are experts in their culture, and creating meaningful, culturally responsive content to support student success in A&P courses.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Consider cultural humility as a concept
  • Describe examples of culturally responsive teaching
  • Consider the value of student-chosen multimedia projects and peer critique
  • Describe examples of current and relevant H5P wraparound activities to support student learning with puzzles and quizzing strategies

Developing and Piloting Open Technology Tools for (and With) Social Work Students
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
This project focuses on developing a technology inventory through the ethnographic study of technology use, data collection, and critical digital literacy among social work students in a public, urban university in the United States. This tool is intended for use as an open access educational intervention to facilitate students’ critical examination of their technology use and data collection practice, with a deep probing of the ubiquity, risks, liability, and potential benefits of technology in social work. Its design has revealed additional insights into how students’ technology use and practices are shaped by their life contexts outside of the classroom and how this creates resource and access gaps that may impede some students’ capacity for developing critical technology literacies. The tool is part of a larger open educational project aimed at developing and disseminating open resources for social work students to better understand the role of technology in social work practice.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Hear student perspectives on an open access tools for understanding technology use in social work practice through dissemination of results of focus groups conducted with Master’s of Social Work students in practicum
  • View the prototype of the technology inventory with description of its development

Dual OER Licensing: How to Use Both FLOSS and CC
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
Not all of today's OER look like the traditional textbooks going back hundreds of years, having text interspersed with images/diagrams.   Today's open pedagogy approaches often revolve around OER which have interactive components using software embedded in the OER, and may refer students to large, open access databases. However, when it comes to policy in higher education, there is little formalization in terms of how to dual license with both Creative Commons and Software Licenses. 
This lightning talk addresses which license suite or legal tool to use under which conditions, whether you are dealing with databases or static or dynamic content. Static content includes text and images or diagrams, and can include software manuals. Dynamic content relates to software including service-side, client-side, and Apps, inter alia. The recommendations are based on strongly held philosophical principles in terms of how best to ensure openness in educational resources not only in terms of use but also in re-use and relates to specific versions.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Be able to use the appropriate FOSS license for software that is meant to be part of an OER.
  • Understand the full spectrum of CC licenses, and the augmented spectrum including public domain tools
  • Understand the relationship of CC licensing to FLOSS and database licensing
  • Use a summary chart to help them choose which FOSS and/or CC license or domain tool to use when creating educational software or a hybrid text-software.

Enhancing Accessibility by Integrating Support for Color Vision Deficiency into Your OER
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
Chemistry is notable for its use of colour; designing experiments that use colour as a guide to let students know how they are doing is both: inexpensive and informs the student of their progress. This creates barriers for students with colour vision deficiency (CVD, often referred to as colour blindness), as they will not receive the same reassurance as their peers, and may feel they are performing the experiment incorrectly. CVD affects ~8.5% the world's population: protanopia (~2%), deuteranopia (~6.5%), and tritanopia (~0.01%). This session aims to highlight first-hand experiences of students/instructors with CVD and how a students-as-partners approach created optimal conditions to navigate these difficulties without the need for drastic changes to course content. While the presentation will feature concrete examples from the chemistry laboratory; the strategies and ideas presented for navigating CVD are applicable to any classroom or workplace open educational resource.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Recall the types of colour vision deficiency, including the most common type found.
  • Identify common challenges individuals with colour vision deficiency may encounter in the classroom or workplace.
  • Describe concepts, tools, modifications, and solutions which can be integrated into open educational resources to improve accessibility with respect to colour vision deficiency.

Exploring Faculty Agency in Open Education
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
Open educational practices (OEP) offer many benefits, including increased faculty teaching flexibility and opportunities for students to contribute their own perspectives to course material. However, instructors in higher education face barriers to work that isn’t explicitly valued in the promotion and tenure process, including OEP. Faculty agency, as defined by O'Meara et al. (2011), is the capacity of faculty members to actively shape and influence their work environments, professional identities, and career trajectories. OEP is often pursued because of instructors’ personal interest in open values, and while OEP benefits the university, it’s not often valued in the promotion and tenure process. In this lightning talk, the presenters will describe the preliminary data for a qualitative study they are conducting to explore faculty agency, particularly for first-year-writing and composition instructors, and how it influences instructors’ ability to pursue open educational practices.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Define faculty agency and describe its relationship to open educational practices.
  • Evaluate the institutional and societal factors that might influence faculty agency at their own institution.

Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
In recent years, the landscape of higher education has witnessed an increased interest in both Open Educational Resources (OER) and the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into curriculum design. While national initiatives have promoted the adoption of OER, faculty resistance remains prevalent, posing a significant challenge to widespread implementation. Similarly, the incorporation of AI tools and technologies in educational settings has sparked curiosity and debate among educators. Amidst this backdrop, there exists an intriguing yet unexplored relationship between the adoption of OER and the utilization of Generative AI in higher education. This session will discuss preliminary data that aims to delve into the intersection of OER and Generative AI adoption among faculty members. By addressing pertinent research questions, we seek to shed light on the dynamics between these two innovative practices.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Gain understanding of the factors influencing faculty adoption decisions between Open Educational Resources (OER) and Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in higher education curriculum design.
  • Gain understanding of the relationship between OER and Generative AI adoption, discerning how the utilization of one resource may influence the decision to incorporate the other.

Exploring the Effects of an OERs Creation Activity on Students' Learning Experiences in Game Coding
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
Open educational practice (OEP) emphasizes allowing students to be information creators instead of simply consumers. One of the open educational practices is to engage students in the process of creation or adaptation of open educational resources (OER). Several studies showed that OERs have the potential of enhancing teaching effectiveness and student learning experiences in higher education. In this regard, this study explored whether the application of ORE creation activity in a class is able to enhance student learning experience in learning computer game programming. The participants were undergraduate students from a HBCU university in the eastern United States. Quantitative approaches will be applied to analyze the collected data. The results showed that the OER creation activity could significantly enhance students' perceptions of OER and self-assessment of computer programming knowledge. However, it could not significantly change student motivation in learning computer programming.

Feedback in Open Textbooks: What Kind and Where Is Best?
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
The licensing of open educational resources allows for interactive questions with immediate feedback to be added to open textbooks. However, it is not clear what type and placement of feedback is most effective. In this study, 390 college and high school students were randomly assigned either correct-answer only feedback or elaborative feedback (with explanations for why the answer is correct). The questions with the feedback were either in the middle-and-end of the textbook excerpt or the end of the excerpt only. Student learning from the textbook excerpt was highest with elaborative feedback that was only at the end of the textbook excerpt. The findings were similar across groups traditionally underserved in higher education such as first-generation college students and racially-minoritized students. In addition, elaborative feedback at the end of the textbook excerpt appeared to be the most helpful across a range of students’ socioeconomic backgrounds.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Describe how experimental research may contribute to open education knowledge.
  • Explain the differences between correct-response only and elaborative feedback.
  • Prepare questions and feedback for revising open textbooks.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of different types and placements of feedback in open textbooks

Navigating Ethical Considerations of Online Research to Design Open Materials for K-12
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
Freely-available digital learning platforms often provide space to create and share open education resources for teachers and students (e.g., ASSISTments, Graspable Math, Upgrade, etc). Many of these technologies are also research platforms to test, improve, and share freely-available researcher-designed instructional content (e.g., Heffernan & Heffernan, 2014). However, understanding the affordances and challenges of this research, navigating ethical considerations for K-12 education research, and working through the institutional review board (IRB) process can be difficult and vary across institutions. In this session, we will present descriptive and qualitative results from an online survey distributed to IRBs across the United States to provoke a conversation on how advances in educational technologies, student privacy, and human subjects research practices must be considered to design evidence-based online open resources for K-12 education.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Understand considerations for doing research to develop evidence-based open education materials.
  • Recognize common themes of how this type of research is viewed by institutional review boards (IRBs) across the United States.
  • Relate their own work to this research process and implement suggestions on how to write compelling IRB applications for ethical research projects.

New to OER? Lessons Learned as an Early Career Academic
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
While many academics express a desire to create open educational resources (OERs), few do. A key barrier academics report preventing them from engaging in OER creation is a lack of in-depth understanding of the development process at an individual level. This presentation outlines individual level lessons learned about OER development from a case study of one early career academic’s experience creating OER for the first time. Analysis of the academic’s journals, critical friend meetings, and stakeholder evaluation of the OER she created, reveal barriers and facilitators encountered. Examples include: (mis)understandings about OER and how to learn about them; technology options, costs, and decisions; institutional supports; and tensions with other academic priorities. While some generic ‘how-to’ guides and macro-level analyses of OER issues exist, these contextualized first-hand lessons offer novel individual-level support for educators navigating OER creation for the first-time.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Understand the barriers and facilitators they may likely encounter as individuals developing OER for the first time.
  • Develop a detailed and realistic plan for the development of their first OER.

No Time to Author? Hiring Students as Collaborators for OER Projects
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
This presentation will discuss the outcomes of a collaborative open pedagogy program which paired student workers with faculty to advance inclusive equity-based pedagogy in OER. This program, funded by our University Equal Opportunity Planning Committee (EOPC), supported a cohort of faculty and student collaborators in developing OER that better reflect our student diversity and include marginalized voices and experiences historically absent in disciplinary discourses and commercially produced textbooks. In addition to producing no-cost course materials, this program encouraged culturally responsive, inclusive pedagogy by requiring faculty to add a social justice component to their syllabus. While faculty often cite the necessary time investment as an impediment to OER development, having student assistants helped to address that issue in addition to providing an engaged learning experience for students in which they were knowledge creators rather than consumers.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Gain an understanding of an OER creation program model that can support faculty and student collaboration and further social justice aims.
  • Evaluate the impact of a program on student learning around open practices
  • Reflect on the effectiveness of the program on student/faculty collaborations around OER development

Watch Anytime
The aims of the Open Education movement are supported by academic librarians, but it is not known how much this group is generally aware of OER and relevant concepts. A knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) survey was developed to measure OER competencies in academic librarians. The KAP survey is often used in allied health fields to determine a baseline by which to measure the success of subsequent educational interventions. The objective of this study was to validate a survey instrument to measure the KAP of academic librarians toward OER. Validation methods include drafting a survey instrument, determining face/expert validity, and administering the survey to three separate samples. The data was analyzed for reliability and validity. The validated survey instrument can be used to investigate the relative levels of KAP within librarian sub-groups, e.g. medical vs. engineering librarians, etc. or in a pre/post test situation within a single institution.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Describe the utility of an OER Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) survey to study an academic librarian population
  • Identify the validated research instrument as an available tool to determine baseline OER knowledge, attitudes and practices among academic librarians
  • Use the validated research instrument in their own experimental or descriptive research design across librarian groups

OERColorado Iconography: Branding that Welcomes and Defines
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
The OERColorado.org curriculum library has a strong visual presence. One core aspect of the site branding is the icons identifying each Subject, CTE and Community of Practice Hub on the digital library to organize collections. These icons follow a design guideline with two goals: to welcome and to identify. Each icon uses imagery from the Noun Project, whose goal is “a global visual language… that allows quick and easy communication no matter who you are or where you are.” That universality of communication supports the OERColorado goal of quickly matching users with resources using easy to identify icons. Although many icons may represent a given hub topic, those chosen must also welcome a diverse plurality of users, fostering a dialog between the efficiency gained by choosing tropes or stereotypical imagery, and the need to create a more inclusive space through more universal imagery. The iconography of the site represents a delicate balance between the specific and the universal.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Consider how design choices can influence user behavior
  • Discuss the role iconography plays in fostering belonging
  • Explore how goal setting in design fosters awareness and intentionality

Sharing Open Educational Resources Via a Portable Application
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
A challenge facing the American University of Nigeria (AUN) Library, located in Yola, north-eastern Nigeria, is its inability to satisfy the needs of its large community of users without affecting the quality of service it provides to the university community. To minimize the pressure on the only library with Internet facilities in the region, it developed a web-based application shared via USB flash drive, named Library-On-A-Flash (LOAF). LOAF contains OER, which may be used offline by libraries without access to the Internet It has links to reputable Databases and resources produced by two USAID and AUN-sponsored projects (TELLA and STELLAR. The application is the result of the collaboration of the Library and ITU and is used by institutions, IDPs and NGOs displaced by Boko Haram insurgencies. The projects major challenges are the capacity of the application and intensive copying and sharing. The features and content of LOAF will be demonstrated to participants during the conference.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Reduce the pressure put on their library facilities by large communities of users often common in developing countries.
  • Raise awareness on Open Access Resources, especially among libraries with scarce learning resources and poor internet connection.
  • Adopt and adapt OER for their learning and teaching to reduce the cost of textbooks.

Talented Students and Fantastic Book Covers: A Design Contest as Open Pedagogy
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
Pedagogy Opened: Innovative Theory and Practice is a newly published (March 2024) openly licensed monograph with seven articles on diverse topics related to open pedagogy. Given that it’s a book about open pedagogy, it seemed only natural that the book itself would have elements of open pedagogy itself. So, with the support of her advisory board, the editor worked with a colleague to design a book cover design contest that was then implemented in an upper-level visual design course at Kennesaw State University. By providing them with few parameters, students had total freedom to apply the concepts they were learning in class to their own designs and then were given the option to openly license and publish their work, regardless of winning the contest. In this session, the editor of Pedagogy Opened and the student designer of its cover will present the logistics and results of the contest and the first-hand experience from its student winner, now a published cover designer.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Consider whether working with student designers would be an option for their in-progress and future planned OER.
  • Brainstorm considerations in implementing a design contest in their own classes and/or for their own planned OER.

Thank You, OER Champion
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
As the cost of textbooks continue to rise for students, Open Educational Resources (OER) have become a particularly popular textbook affordability initiative among college faculty. In an effort to recognize the positive impact OER adopters have on students, and to further market textbook affordability, Clackamas Community College's textbook affordability librarian, Justine Munds, used a "gratitude campaign" to showcase faculty who had transitioned to teaching with OER. In this session, Justine will give an overview of the gratitude campaign that includes the research and resources that inspired it, its intended outcomes, and access to the openly-licensed resources she created so you run a gratitude campaign of your own.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Describe the importance of recognizing OER adoptions
  • Predict the benefits of actively celebrating OER adopters
  • Employ an OER Champion gratitude campaign of their own

The Doctor is In: Open to Oblivion
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
This lightning talk will share the experience of an open online course which fostered an open online community, which begat an AI-powered audio chatbot, Dr. Oblivion, who was drafted as a teaching assistant. A community member built the bot as a project for an outside course. The instructors were able to put it to use in a digital storytelling where the class could experiment with and learn about generative AI applications as tools for creating narratives on the web. This serves as an example of how open educational practices can enable creativity and connection within a community. Dr. Oblivion may contribute snide commentary to the presentation.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Discuss broad benefits of open educational practices
  • Discuss potential benefits of incorporating generative AI applications into a course

The Open Trifecta: A Winning Combination of Pedagogy, Licensing and ePortfolios
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
Many community college students experience barriers to success in first-year STEM courses. Open pedagogy practices can benefit these students, especially those who struggle as first-generation college students, encounter financial barriers, or experience cultural differences that contribute to opportunity gaps. By allowing students to demonstrate their learning in nontraditional ways, these students can be welcomed into higher education and take ownership of their educational experience. In conjunction with open pedagogy, e-portfolios allow students to showcase their work, reflect upon what they’ve learned, and create for an audience beyond their instructor. General Biology (BIOL-101) courses at Raritan Valley Community College combine a winning trifecta of open pedagogy, creative commons licensing instruction, and e-portfolio creation to give students agency over how they demonstrate their learning aligned with the course learning objectives.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Understand how the synergy between open pedagogy, Creative Commons licensing, and ePortfolios supports student engagement.
  • Collaborate with faculty, librarians, and career counselors to implement a comprehensive open pedagogy assessment.

The Time is Now: Exploring Archivists' Response to the Open Educational Movement
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
This presentation will explore the existing literature on the intersection of the Open Education Resource (OER) movement and archival practices, with a focus on how archivists and cultural heritage professionals utilize OER language and platforms to promote the use of collections. While demand for OER grows, the willingness of archivists to seize Open Educational language and practices remains largely unexplored. There are primed opportunities for archivists to partner with OER organizations and professionals to make their materials readily available for adoption or adaptation. A review of the literature will reveal the extent to which archivists have integrated OERs into professional practices and what partnerships, if any, exist between archivists and educators to develop OERs. Findings will inform future research and practical recommendations for archivists on how to leverage OER platforms, funding, and language to promote archival collections for educational use.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Identify gaps in current research and propose future directions for investigation in leveraging OER for the promotion of archival collections
  • Assess the potential impact and effectiveness of leveraging OER language and platforms in promoting archival collections for educational use

Time to Transform Courses with OER: The OERCS Initiative at National University
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
As a result of a university merger and transformation initiative, a unique opportunity presented itself to build an Open Educational Resources and Curriculum Support (OERCS) team that would be fully embedded into each course development taking place at National University. Within one year of providing tailored, hands-on OER assistance and curation for 569 course builds, the OERCS team saved students approximately $275,000 in textbook costs, shepherded the development of multiple open educational resources by university faculty and staff, and increased the adoption of OER in courses by 54%. This presentation will share successes and lessons learned in the first year of full OER and curriculum support. The presentation will also provide fodder for future direction that may be implemented at your institution as the OERCS team continues increasing the adoption, utilization, quality, and development of open educational resources at National University.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Discover ways to implement OER into course development
  • Understand how to incentivize faculty and staff to author and adapt OER
  • Develop strategies to work through challenges with OER acceptance
  • Investigate future opportunities for OER implementation and promotion

Transforming the Classroom with Role Play & AI
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
Immersive role-playing experiences, such as "Reacting to the Past" games, can be powerful ways to engage students with complex historical events. However, the development process can be time intensive. This session explores how I utilized the AI language model Gemini Advanced to streamline the development of a game centered on the 1994-1995 Enola Gay exhibit controversy designed for use in college courses. With the support of an OER grant, my team initially created a long-form game that takes weeks of class time to play. I'll demonstrate how AI tools enabled me to rapidly adapt the game design, generating new character roles and supporting materials to create a short version that could be played in one session. I will also offer strategies for using AI to create role immersion games for use in class.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Understand the potential of AI-assisted historical game design.
  • Apply strategies for tailoring AI-generated content to educational needs.
  • Design role-play elements for short-form history lessons.
  • Explain the benefits of student-centered learning activities in history courses.

Uniting Open Educational Practices & Scholarship of Teaching and Learning: It's Time!
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
Watch Anytime
This session aims to engage conference attendees in a conversation about the interconnectivity between Open Educational Resources(OER) and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). A recent letter in Inside Higher Ed (2021) stated “… we are convinced that the OER movement has reinvigorated the scholarship of teaching and learning, as well as the student experience in and beyond the classroom. That is more than cost savings. That is the future of education itself.” Attendees will be engaged in reflection on the role of Open Educational Practices, including OER in equitable teaching and learning. Comparisons will be made between the elements of strong SoTL that also support equitable teaching and learning. We'll also detail how persons using OER can more easily consider the scholarly approaches to their work. Exploring the similarities between these two distinct communities will provide ideas for advocacy that will attract more persons to both, and strengthen the work of both.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Gain an understanding of the synergies between Open Educational Resources (OER) and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), and how they contribute to the enhancement of student learning experiences
  • Analyze the commonalities between effective SoTL methodologies and the principles of OER, examining how integrating these approaches can lead to more robust pedagogical practices and advocate for broader adoption within educational institutions.
