- #6 The Community College Consortium for OER is a community of practice dedicated to promoting the adoption and development of open educational resources to enhance teaching and learning. We were founded to support the community college mission of open access through creating awareness and development of openly licensed, low-cost education materials to make college more affordable and accessible for students. We provide regularly scheduled online and face-2-face workshops for faculty and staff who are engaged in OER projects.
- #8 Incentives and motivation – stipends, recognition by college, etc. Help discover OER – depending on the subject area, a librarian or faculty development coordinator can help with this. Understanding what it means to use open licensing and how you can reuse Support for adoption – getting hard copies if needed, links to online resources, uploading into the LMS, bookstore, open policies to pave the road for OER adoption.
- #34 Thank you for having me, introduce myself.
- #35 About Open Oregon: Funded through OCCDLA, statewide position, 17 CC’s not in a system. This position is funded by Community College Support Funds for Distance Learning through the Oregon Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development.
- #36 Coordinator - communication, connections, birds-eye view, networker. Created a name and online presence for Oregon community college OER efforts: Launched Open Oregon Educational Resources website Established Open Oregon listserv Developed Open Oregon logo Created Open Oregon Twitter account Developed contacts with key groups, including Oregon community college champions, faculty, librarians, distance learning, students, bookstore managers, accessibility services, national OER interest groups, and OER leaders in North America. This is a presentation about faculty development but faculty are just one of my stakeholders. In a lot of cases I support the people that do faculty development. That said, I’ll talk about my activities through that lens.
- #37 Visit the website! Indebted to openwa.org, note attribution builder. Encouraged adoption by sharing information, funding projects, and showcasing successes.
- #38 Resources tab: developed with help of a summer librarians group, thanks to PCC Library Web Analyst Tamara Marnell for WordPress work on the back end. What is already adopted/in use at Oregon CC’s. Getting close to 100 entries. Library and OER solutions to textbook cost reductions. Faculty want to know what other instructors are using when they make selections for their classes. These resources are not necessarily peer reviewed but are peer endorsed. Outreach to get folks on campus to submit adoptions using the form or send me a list for data entry. It’s impossible to really know everything that’s going on.
- #39 Grants Funded the 2015 grant cohort - OER special project grants spent $55,098 with an estimated savings goal for the pilot year of $277,175.26 - $386,921.50. That's between $5 - $7 saved for each $1 spent by Open Oregon. Examples: Interactive math textbook software Two accelerated learning partnerships with high schools Technical writing textbook Writing curriculum survey developed, will lead to discipline specific conference
- #40 $200k to spend in the rest of this biennium, current round of grant proposals is being evaluated. Structure inspired by Georgia Affordable Learning grants. Adopt or adapt is incredibly much more cost effective.
- #41 Workshops and trainings to share resources, build capacity. Regional conferences around the state Campus visits OTN workshops Webinars (archives on site) on-demand training Coming up: TVCC sprint, OTN train the trainer
- #42 My role with faculty at different colleges varies widely, but faculty and support know that I’m there as a resource and connector if they fall down the rabbit hole.
