How do we ensure those doing the hard work of OER are compensated, resourced, and acknowledged for their achievements? Luckily, the ROI of these forms of worker care in OER are evident and measurable. This session will integrate the successes and lessons learned from years of program implementation across two state university systems with developing actionable takeaways tailored for your OER context. Objectives include: * Recognition: Apply the evolution of system awards programs to your own practices * Compensation: Discover how student cost savings can make temporary library or instructional design positions permanent * Care: Find labor efficiencies through cross-institutional human resource sharing such as the Oklahoma-wide OER Office Hours pilot Hear from students with textbook co-creation experience as we consider the ‘return’ of student success, connecting students to decision making, and increasing students’ contribution to OER with care, compensation, and recognition.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Apply the evolution and growth of system awards programs to your own recognition practices
- Consider the power and possibility of state-level recognition such as the Colorado Governor’s Z-degree Award
- Discover how student cost savings can make a temporary library or instructional design position permanent
- Build efficiencies in labor and capacity through cross-institutional resource sharing
