Librarians as Leaders and Partners in OER InitiativesRegina Gong
Librarians as Leaders and Partners in OER Initiatives
Regina Gong discusses her experience leading an open educational resources (OER) initiative at Lansing Community College. High textbook costs were negatively impacting students, so she helped faculty adopt free and openly licensed OER to save students over $1 million. As experts in finding resources and copyright, librarians are well-positioned to partner with faculty on OER. LCC's bottom-up approach led over 200 faculty to use OER in over 400 courses benefiting over 10,000 students. Communicating successes helped expand partnerships and further the initiative's social justice goals of increasing educational access.
This document summarizes a presentation about open educational resources (OER). The presentation defines OER as teaching, learning and research materials that are in the public domain or released with an open license allowing free use. It outlines benefits of OER such as lowering student costs and allowing customization. The document provides examples of open textbooks and repositories where instructors can find high-quality OER to incorporate into their courses. It also discusses how the Online Education Initiative in California is working to increase access to online courses through the use of OER.
CCCOER: the Community of Practice for OER DegreesUna Daly
The document introduces the Community of Practice for OER Degrees, which aims to expand awareness of open educational resources, support faculty innovation, and improve student engagement through monthly webinars, meetings, and collaboration opportunities. It provides an overview of the consortium's goals and activities, highlights voices of experienced members, and invites participants to share how the consortium can help their institutions be successful in open education.

Campus-wide OER Faculty Development:
Sue Tashjian and Jody Carson co-chairs of the Northern Essex Community College’s (NECC) Textbook Task Force will share how they nurtured a small program on campus to incentivize 5 faculty to adopt OER has grown over the last two years. Through faculty development to help instructors faculty find high-quality open educational resources and additional OER funding, NECC has saved students over $450,000 and growing.
Jody Carson, professor and instructional coach in Center for Instructional Technology
Sue Tashjian, adjunct CIS faculty and Coordinator of Instructional Technology
The document discusses the concept of a learning commons, which is defined as a flexible and collaborative space for learning that expands beyond the walls of a school. A learning commons provides resources and partnerships to support learning and knowledge building through inquiry and collaboration. It serves as a welcoming place where students are at the center and can discover and develop a love of learning through play.
Increasing OER Adoptions with the Community College Consortium for OERUna Daly
During the past few years, adoptions of open textbooks at community colleges have increased. A key component in many community college adoption campaigns has been participating in communities of practice. Members of the Community College Consortium for OER (CCCOER) will share their successful strategies and tactics for creating a community of practice nationally as well as locally.
Etienne Wenger defines communities of practice as “groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.” With over 200 member colleges in 17 states and provinces, CCCOER encourages collaboration between members and invites OER project presentations at their monthly online advisory meetings. Experienced members advise those who are just getting started on OER and best practices are freely shared. Access to a community of college OER experts through the CCCOER listserve makes it easier for new members to find and adopt the highest quality OER available in their disciplines.
Monthly webinars featuring OER leaders at community colleges, universities, and educational organizations around the world keep the community informed of new research findings, OER projects, and open policies. Meetups at regional and national conferences provide an opportunity to share and promote the OER adoption successes of our members with colleagues throughout higher education.

June 8: Designing for Open Pedagogy with CCCOERUna Daly
Please join the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) for a free and open webinar on Designing for Open Pedagogy. Open Pedagogy was first introduced by Lumen Learning co-founder David Wiley, as a way to capture how the use of OER can change educational practices. He relates that using OER in the same way as traditional textbooks is like driving an airplane down the road – it is missing out on what open can provide for student and teacher collaboration, engagement, and learning.
When: June 8, 10amPST/1pmEST
We will hear from two professors who have not only adopted OER but have redesigned their courses with the principles of open pedagogy. Although reduced cost is what originally attracted them to using OER, involving their students in creating and evaluating OER course materials has significantly increased student engagement and critical thinking and their courses are continually being updated and improved as a result.
Featured Speakers:
• Suzanne Wakim, Biology Faculty Butte College, OER Coordinator
Will share her open course design strategy where students in subsequent semesters build on the work of those before them to create an open textbook and ancillary material. Students discuss and decide on how best to present material in the book, what applications are relevant for each topic, and what materials can help other students learn the course content.
• Mike Elmore, Political Science Faculty, Tacoma Community College
Will share how he has engaged students in collaborative writing of an Introduction to Political Science open textbook. His students report that writing assignments take on new meaning when they realize that other people are going to read their work. Not just repeating what they have read or heard in class, they compare their understanding with their peers and collaborate to present their ideas in the best way possible.

How OER Use Fosters Policy and Practice ChangeUna Daly
Community and technical colleges are increasingly advocating for open educational practices and policies to fulfill their open access mission. Affordability can be a significant access barrier for the high percentage of non-traditional students at community college. Non-traditional students often work to support themselves and family members while they attend college. As funding cuts have lead to higher tuition costs, many are unable to afford the expensive instructional materials.
Faculty have responded by adopting open educational resources (OER) and open textbooks to make college more affordable for their students. In the process, they are improving instructional practices as they customize materials to meet the unique needs of students at their college. A focus on online and interactive materials and regional workforce education has been noted. College administrators and trustees noting these successes are proposing open policies to encourage the use of OER in an increasing number of disciplines and in district-wide implementations.
Hear case studies from members of the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) at OCWC on how adoption and creation of OER and open textbooks has improved affordability and teaching practice.
Faculty at College of the Canyons in Sociology, Water Technology, and statistics have created and adopted OER and open textbooks saving students $235,000 over a single year. An OER repository and a flexible infrastructure for supporting the sharing of faculty developed learning objects has been developed. Their Dean of Distance Education leads the CCCOER Advisory Board representing the consortium at conferences throughout the world.
Maricopa District, one of the largest community college districts in the U.S., has endorsed “the development and use of OER to support innovative and creative opportunities for all learners,” in its 5-year District-Wide Information and Instructional Technology Strategic Plan. Math faculty at three of the district colleges: Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and Phoenix are sharing resources and strategies to provide multiple sections of high-enrollment math courses using OER. Pilots of OER math at three additional Maricopa community colleges will begin in Spring 2013. Scottsdale College alone has saved students over $200,000 in fall 2012.
CCCOER was founded in the Foothill–De Anza College District to create awareness and build a community of practice around OER at public two-year colleges. As proof of concept, the Collaborative Statistics textbook was openly licensed and imported into the Connexions repository at Rice University. The textbook was widely adopted by math faculty at De-Anza college and 20 other colleges in North America and has saved students at De-Anza over a million dollars to date.
Una Daly presented on the benefits of open educational resources and open textbooks. She discussed how rising costs of education and textbooks negatively impact students, and how open textbooks can help by providing free or low-cost digital content that can be customized. Open licensing allows open textbooks to be freely shared and adapted. Several large-scale open textbook projects were highlighted that have led to cost savings for students and improved learning outcomes. Research also suggests that open textbooks increase interactions with materials and faculty collaboration. Adopting open textbooks requires selecting materials, customizing content as needed, gathering user feedback, and ensuring sustainability.

CCCOER Presents: Culture Shift to Academic FreedomUna Daly
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.
When: Wednesday, October 14, 2020, 12 pm PDT/3 pm EDT

Reducing Equity Gaps & Creating Reliency with OERUna Daly
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.
Presenters: Denise Cote, PhD, Librarian, College of DuPage; and Una Daly, MA, Director, CCCOER
This document outlines the agenda and speakers for a webinar on decolonizing courses. The webinar will feature presentations from three speakers - Justine Blau, an English lecturer; Heather Blicher, a library coordinator; and Joe Brenkert, a mathematics faculty member. They will discuss their experiences with and approaches to decolonizing courses. The webinar aims to expand awareness of open educational resources and support more equitable education. It provides information on upcoming related events and resources for open education.
California ZTC Degrees Panel: Past, Present, and FutureUna Daly
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.
This document provides an introduction and overview of Open Educational Resources (OER) presented by Una Daly, the director of CCCOER. The presentation discusses the benefits of OER for students and institutions, highlights key OER repositories and licensing options, and outlines funding opportunities and recent research findings showing positive student outcomes with OER. It also promotes the community of practice for open education and opportunities for collaboration within the open education field.
CCCOER Presents: User Friendly OER Course Design for Remote and F2F LearningUna Daly
When faculty start using OER, one of the most exciting opportunities that the open license affords is for faculty to customize their courses to fit the needs of their students. In this discussion, we will explore some of the theory and practice around designing engaging, accessible, and inclusive OER courses. We will discuss how using OER can enable faculty to embrace good design principles for student-centered instruction in fully online courses or face-to-face courses, augmented with online components. We’ll discuss the advantages of this approach in our current, COVID-19 world.
When: Wednesday, June 3, 2020, 12 pm PDT/3 pm EDT

Ben Kohntopp, Instructional Designer – Colorado Community College Online
Sophia Strickfaden, eLearning Technologist – Colorado Community Colleges Online
Scott Robison, Ph.D., Associate Director – Digital Learning and Design, Office of Academic Innovation, Portland State University
Open Education Resilience in Crisis and BeyondUna Daly
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 PedagogyUna Daly
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.

It discusses why students get involved in OER advocacy, avenues for involvement like student government and library internships, and examples of student-driven OER victories. It then outlines a statewide student initiative in California to create an OER toolkit for students, covering topics like what OER is and how to create and market OER. The document discusses best practices for creating the student team and toolkit, both benefits and challenges. Finally, it provides guidance for students on bringing OER advocacy to their own campuses by setting goals, identifying stakeholders, and making the case for support.
CCCOER Presents: Regional Leaders of Open EducationUna Daly
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.

Q: Would you take another course using a resource like this one?
“Yes, because it saved me lots money not buying a textbook.”
“I left my books at home and just logged on to my CGCC account with my
smartphone and read the required reading while sitting under a tree
snacking on a sandwich. I loved it.”
“I felt that the information pertaining to the subjects we discussed was
more accurate than a text book. There were real life experiences and
people.
Reading a textbook for the purpose of memorization teaches us nothing. I
loved that I got to relate with the people talking, use the articles that we
were asked to use, and apply our knowledge creatively.”
