Dr. Lynn Lease presented on open educational resources (OERs) at the SPARCC Tech Conference. The presentation defined OERs and interactive OERs, discussed research on student interaction with OERs and related learning outcomes, and provided examples of interactive OER repositories. It also outlined the four critical phases of locating, selecting, implementing, and evaluating OERs. The focus was on exploring interactive OERs and their potential to engage students and improve learning effectiveness.

4 Critical Phases

12. Locating OERs
•Right place?
•Right search methods?
• Spend time now, save time later.
• Get to know the repositories.

13. Selecting OERs
•Learning objectives?
•Grade level/Learner level?
•Subject matter?
•Author?
•Modify?
•User platform?
•Accessibility?

14. Implementing OERs
•Link?
•Embed?
•Placement?
•Wrap other content?
•Purpose?
•Directions needed?
•Intuitive?

15. Evaluating OERs
•Course assessment?
•Improved learning?
•Faculty/Teacher feedback?
•Student feedback?
•Focus groups?
•Testing before implementation?
