CCCOER Presents: Culture Shift to Academic Freedom
Open Education gives faculty the academic freedom to find, adapt, and create materials that are focused on how and what their students need to learn and be successful in their courses. It takes time and a different approach to your teaching practice. No longer limited by a commercial textbook’s outline of topic materials and lack of access by a significant percentage of their students, a faculty member can engage their students in more meaningful and effective learning experiences. Hear from faculty, an administrator, and a student who are engaged in this sometimes challenging culture shift to reduce inequity and grow our pedagogical practices.

Reducing Equity Gaps & Creating Reliency with OER
Textbook affordability and flexibility is more important than ever in times of shrinking budgets, enrollment concerns, and remote learning. Students’ lives have been disrupted and helping them get back on track to complete their education is critical. Open educational resources significantly reduce student costs and have been shown to improve outcomes particularly for traditionally underserved populations. Open resources also provide flexibility for faculty as they continue to adapt their teaching for unfolding circumstances.
Join the Midwestern Higher Education Compact as they host the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) to hear how higher education institutions can work together on open education policy, professionalism, stewardship, and sustainability across regional and state boundaries to find solutions to common challenges. CCCOER is leading conversations with regional leaders of open education (RLOE) to support statewide and national projects for expanding access while creating resilience and sparking innovation at institutions of higher education.

California ZTC Degrees Panel: Past, Present, and Future
Online Teaching Conference 2020: Twenty-six California Community Colleges embarked on a journey to create thirty-four Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) Degrees to dramatically reduce the financial burden of earning an associate degree or career technical education certificate. More than 20,000 students over three years would benefit from this approach to eliminating the barrier of textbook costs. Data collected from participating colleges show that all students in ZTC pathways did better than those in non-ZTC courses, and that traditionally underserved populations did even better.
With proven results of reducing equity gaps, the Governor has proposed doubling the initial $5 million ZTC program to $10 million in FY21, opening this opportunity to more colleges wishing to leverage ZTCs to increase student achievement and reduce equity gaps. Join us to hear from ZTC champions who led the initiative, supporting the faculty who transformed their courses to lower barriers and improve students learning, and ensuring the sustainability of the program. Consider how to integrate a ZTC approach with your distance education, equity, pathways and other student success-centered initiatives. Learn about how students and librarians are poised to play an essential role in the proposed $10 million grant. Finally, learn the critical steps for success and how to assess your college’s readiness for developing ZTC degrees.

Open Education Resilience in Crisis and Beyond
Schools, colleges, and universities have closed their campuses and pivoted to remote instruction in a matter of weeks as the COVID-19 threat became a reality. Student’s lives are being disrupted not only by the adjustment to remote instruction but also due to job loss, family responsibilities, and healthcare needs. Commercial publishers are offering faculty and students one-time “free” instruction materials during the crisis in hopes of gaining new customers. Colleges are now facing big questions about their future including maintaining student enrollment, selecting instructional materials, managing faculty and staff costs, and even how the physical campus might be reconfigured.
Join our panelists to hear how open education has made their campuses more resilient and continues to help with student equity including support for underrepresented populations and students with disabilities. You will hear strategies and talking points for helping stakeholders on your campus understand how open educational resources, prudent fair-use, and open educational practices (pedagogy) support both teaching and learning in the crisis and will continue to contain costs, address student needs, and inspire innovation for the future.

Faculty and Students Share about Open Pedagogy
Open Pedagogy is a collection of open practices in the classroom made possible by replacing commercial textbooks with open educational resources. These emerging practices enabled by open content licensing (and an open mindset) involve students in making decisions about their own learning experiences and contributing directly to global knowledge to impact not only other students but generate renewable value outside of the classroom.
Join us to hear about the learning benefits from faculty and students who have participated in open pedagogy projects that were enabled through the adoption of open education resources and open practices. Learn how students working with instructional designers and librarians have begun to help faculty adopt, create and implement open content across their campus.

CCCOER Presents: Regional Leaders of Open Education
When: Wednesday, March 4, noon PST/3pm EST:
Launched in fall 2019, the Regional Leadership for Open Education (RLOE) initiative was inspired by CCCOER members’ growing need to collaborate across institutional and state boundaries to find solutions for issues impacting OER adoption at diverse, multi-institution systems. Many open education leaders face similar issues of advocacy and implementation beyond their home institution and wish for the opportunity to craft common solutions and eliminate duplication of efforts. Leaders from colleges, universities, library consortia, and government agencies were invited to participate in four workgroups to discuss and build solutions. Each workgroup has developed a focus project for pursuing in 2020 and will share early efforts and invite community feedback
Policy & Strategy: focusing on a bibliography of open education policies and building a video repository of statewide OER policy clips.
Stewardship: focusing on emerging frameworks for stewardship of open education resources and student privacy and data.
Professionalism: focusing on building a matrix of emerging “open education” roles and their associated competencies to better identify training needs.
Sustainability: focusing on building a virtual file cabinet of higher education infrastructure documents/templates integrating open education.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
