The Community College Consortium for OER at Open Education Global is a community of practice for educators aspiring to expand access and empower students, particularly those who are marginalized. To encourage this collaboration, the panel will spotlight open education programs that prioritize the creation of equitable, inclusive, and antiracist learning through the use of open pedagogy and instructional design, with dedicated faculty, equity consultants, and advisory coaches, to name a few. The featured programs include the Remixing Open Textbooks through an Equity Lens project (ROTEL) from Massachusetts, the Open for Antiracism program (OFAR) from California, and the Targeted Pathways project from Oregon. Two of the three programs involve both universities and community colleges, while one focuses on community colleges alone. Attendees will be prompted to identify components of the programs they can incorporate into their own work and institutions through polls and discussion.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Identify aspects of the highlighted programs that they can implement at their own institutions to focus on the need for equity, inclusion, and antiracism in OER.
- Gain insight into the structure of EDI open programs that demonstrate unique and collaborative approaches.
