Measuring impacts both of faculty and students involved in Course Based Undergraduate Research (CUREs) is important to being culturally responsive in communicating the value added of programs. Ensuring that CURE materials are both open sourced and inclusive of students, by infusing open pedagogies increases the broader impacts of these research projects. In this interactive session attendees will engage with real world examples from three currently funded National Science Foundation CUREs projects at the community college, four-year institution, and from a national research center. Ways to design and assess the value and impacts of open-sourced and open pedagogy CURE curriculums will be discussed. Participants will engage with strategies for considering the design and assessment of their own curriculum and leave with resources to enhance the assessment and design of their own programs.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- To identify the value of Course Based Undergraduate Research (CUREs) as examples of open pedagogical course materials.
- To examine real-world examples of three CURE programs and articulate the similarities and differences between them and their applications and approach to OER and Open Pedagogies and the evaluation elements.
- To engage in the draft development (program mapping) of their own assessment design for a current or future OER/Open Pedagogy project.
