The Open Educational Resources Nursing Essentials Project (ONE), a partnership of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) and OpenStax, was created to help address a crisis-level workforce shortage in Nursing. Through this project, the THECB and OpenStax developed high quality, standards-aligned, accessible educational offerings. But to impact the workforce as designated by the program, large-scale adoption and usage are the ultimate goals. This panel will feature team leads, authors, and adopters to discuss the end-to-end approaches and practices to achieve the program outcomes. We will describe the needs analysis, user engagement, learning design, and review processes that drove the project. Authors will reflect on interpreting and applying feedback. And a recent adopter, who was not involved with the project development, will reflect on the evaluation, adoption, and integration process.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Identify the key people (e.g., authors, adopters) involved in the OER development and adoption process and ways to engage with these different individuals.
- Develop needs analysis and related market research instruments to inform OER creation.
- Gather, interpret, and apply reviewer feedback throughout the OER development process.
- Address adoption criteria through products and product descriptions.
- Incorporate OER creation and adoption best practices into their own OER development and promotion endeavors.
