Many colleges are looking to open educational resources and openly licensed course material to reduce costs and expand access for their students. Surveys from faculty who have adopted OER and their students report positive outcomes in teaching and learner engagement in addition to the cost savings. Join CCCOER to hear from two OER Authoring platform providers who work with colleges to develop and deliver open courses that are engaging and help measure how students are learning. Faculty and other users of the platform will also be featured.
When: Wed, February 8, at 10am PT/ 1pm ET
Featured Speakers:

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Benefits
Cost
Ease of Use
Visibility of Subject
Social Responsibility
Accessibility
3. Cost
The price for publisher textbooks seems to increase every
year
Alternative options are available: e-text, rentals, etc.
Many textbooks in higher education can cost $100-200
Additional financial stress imposed on students
Students may choose to take courses with less expensive
requirements
4. Ease of Use
OER is digital, it is easy to search and discover course materials
The resources for a course can easily be conveyed to students
through learning management systems (I.e. Canvas, Blackboard,
Moodle, etc.)
OER materials are built initially in a digital format making them
user friendly and potentially adjustable for accessibility
Students may be required to purchase additional access to
learning management systems created by publishers
May not be user friendly or accessible
Instructors do not have access to troubleshoot these websites
5. Visibility of Disciplines
Not all disciplines are readily visible to all
Learners may change their career goals and interests'
numerous times because of introduction to new disciplines
later in education
This could extend the learners educational time commitment
and expenses
6. Social Responsibility
All who desire to learn should have access to quality
materials
Provides all learners the tools and resources to study and
excel in higher education
7. Accessibility
Many publishers do not have all educational materials in an
electronic format
Publishers materials are protected under copyright laws and
cannot be modified
Not all learners can easily access publisher formatted
materials
8. Challenges
Quality Assurance
Sustainability
Lack of Understanding of Licensing
Non-revocable Nature of OER
Accessibility
9. Quality Assurance
Peer-review of materials prior to release to public
Many sources offer OER
Numerous choices when searching for materials
Challenges-
Materials do not need to be peer-reviewed to be released
Amount of materials may be overwhelming to sift through to
find quality materials
10. Sustainability
The issue of keeping OER up-to-date
Expensive and time consuming to continuously update
resources to be current with advances in the individual
disciplines
11. Lack of Understanding:
Licensing
Training would provide all educators with the opportunity
learn of the numerous Creative Commons licenses
Recognize that "open" does not necessarily mean no
attribution
Understand Public Domain vs. Open License
12. Non-Revocable Nature
Important challenge for providers
You do not have to ability to control who uses your work under
the Creative Commons licenses.
Some educators may find trouble in releasing their hard work
freely to others
13. Accessibility
OER works with certain Creative Commons licenses would
allow for remixing to provide all with accessible learning
materials
Having initial digital works make this process much easier
Not all sources of OER identify the accessibility of the
resource
Educators who adopt the material would have to assess and
make any necessary modifications for accessibility purposes
14. Final word
OER are important for many reasons
Common sharing amongst educators
Allows for collaboration and building upon each
other's educational materials
Quality assurance
Beneficial cost to students and institutions
Ease of access
Social responsibility to provide for all
