Have you been asked by your college administration or colleagues about open textbook usage and perceptions? Recent studies have shown that awareness and usage of OER by faculty is not yet mainstream. Come and hear results of surveys conducted by the OER Research Hub on open textbook usage by faculty and librarians including understanding of open licenses, quality, and how librarians can inform open textbook adoptions. In addition, we will hear from the SPARC organization about the direct connection between open access and open education and the important role that libraries have in curating and promoting open educational resources adoption in the classroom.
Please join the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) for this free, open webinar and a chance to ask questions of our two expert speakers.
Date: Wed, December 10
Time: 10 am PST, 1:00 pm EST
Featured speakers:
Beck Pitt, PhD, OER Researcher, OER Research Hub, Open University UK, sharing research from surveys conducted with faculty who have adopted OpenStaxCollege textbooks and with librarian on perceptions and usage of OER.
Nicole Allen, Director of Open Education, SPARC sharing SPARC’s transition from an Open Access advocacy group to an Open Access and Open Education advocacy group that promotes librarians’ role in both of these important and intertwined initiatives.
CCCOER Webinar: OER Research on Open Textbook adoption and LibrariansOER Hub
"OER Research on Open Textbook adoption and Librarians" was presented by Beck Pitt on 10 December 2014 as part of a CCCOER webinar with Nicole Allen (SPARC) and Una Daly.
These slides were created by reversioning two previous presentations: Librarians Perceptions of OER and Open Access Week 2014: Open Textbook Research Overview (also available on Slideshare).
"Librarians' Perceptions of OER" was presented by Beck Pitt at OpenEd 2014, Washington DC, USA during November 2014.
Research was carried out in collaboration with CoPILOT and this presentation was developed from Eleni, Nancy and Beck's presentation at OER13 in Newcastle, UK earlier in the year.

Open Educational Resources Impact in Community CollegesRobert Farrow
The results of an OER Research Hub survey of college educators based on collaborative work with Community College Consortium for OER (CCCOER). It shows that OER are perceived as having positive effects on teachers and learners.
Open approaches to OER impact research Robert Farrow
In this session the work of OER Research Hub is outlined and the merits of open approaches to understanding impact are discussed. OER Research Hub(funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation) works internationally in collaboration with a range of research partners to assess impact across different education profiles. This often requires rethinking methodological assumptions or working in adaptive and responsive ways in order to facilitate sharing of impact data. OER Research Hub thus uses open methods to investigate the impact of OER on education and learning. Open forms of dissemination employed include open access publication, blogging, open release of research data and research tools, open online courses and the OER Impact Map, which draws together data relating to our research hypotheses and shows how a plurality of content can be brought together through data visualisation and graphical mapping. In addition to discussing how some of these techniques might be used to assess impact in other areas I will present some of the headline findings from the project.

Slides from a presentation at the 2019 SHSU Teaching & Learning Conference. Presentation description: Educators hear a lot these days about Open Educational Resources (OER), especially since the Texas legislature passed SB 810 in 2017, but instructors may not yet be familiar with OER or confident about using them. This session provides the opportunity to “explOER” these resources from different angles. Attendees will investigate OER quality through hands-on activities; see practical examples of project-based learning projects that engage students in OER creation; understand the intersection of OER and social justice; and learn about research studies showing the correlation between OER use and student success. Participants will leave with a better sense of how OER might fit into their personal instruction toolboxes.

"OER Research Hub Overview" was presented by Beck Pitt at Thompson Rivers University (TRU), Kamloops, B.C. Canada on 26 May 2015.
This presentation was developed from the slide deck created and presented by Bea de los Arcos at Open Education Global in Banff and OER15 with the addition of slides and content focused on open textbook research.
This presentation reports on findings arising from the collaborative research carried out by OER Research Hub and Community College Consortium for OER (CCCOER).
- Most of the respondents have used some sort of OER, though only around a quarter create OER
- Most report positive effects on their teaching practice as a result of OER use, particularly around peer collaboration and improved subject knowledge
- A smaller proportion (but still in excess of 40%) feel that OER use directly leads to improved reflection on pedagogical practice
- Positive effects were also identified for learners, especially around increased self-reliance, subject interest and experimentation
- There were similar numbers who thought OER wasn’t making much of a difference and a core of what might be termed ‘anti-OER’ responses
- There were mixed views about whether OER was saving institutions money, but approximately 2/3 felt that students had saved money
- Around 1/3 believe that OER is improving student attrition while around 1/2 believe it is not having an effect
- Only around half of OER creators have used open licensing
- There is a core of advocates who understand and actively promote OER; they adopt open educational practices and believe it leads to benefits
Mapping & Curation in OER Impact Research #altcRobert Farrow
Presentation from ALT-C conference, 2014 on the value of mapping and curation as an approach to impact research. The presentation includes some discussion of results from OER Research Hub.
The Ecology of Sharing: Synthesizing OER ResearchRobert Farrow
Arguably, Open Educational Resources (OER) are starting to enter the mainstream, though some fundamental questions about their value and impact remain to be answered or supported with appropriate evidence. Much early OER activity was driven by ideals and interest in finding new ways to release content, with less direct research and reflection on the process. Furthermore, the majority of OER studies are localised, making extrapolation problematic. At the same time there are considerable practical experiences and ideas that it would be valuable to share. This presentation introduces the 'hub' as metaphor for the kind of networked research that is needed by the OER movement. The Open University's OER Research Hub project (2012-2014) works across eight primary research collaborations augmented with additional fellowships and connections with organisation to collate and synthesize research into OER across a range of sectors and stakeholders (k12, College Entry, Higher Education, Informal). The guiding research hypotheses are grounded in preparatory work in discourse analysis and collective intelligence as part of the OLnet project (which was previously presented at OER12). We then describe the research methodology for OER Research Hub, showing how claims about 'openness' may be validated in different contexts. The argument presented is that through (1) integrating and co-ordinating research methods and (2) developing open data policies it is possible to build an evidence base for the kinds of claims that the OER movement wants to make. Thus, through an 'ecology of sharing' researchers can build and participate in a research network that is greater than the sum of its parts. We will also show how this is working in practice by highlighting some of the activities that are taking place within some collaborations, showing how harmonizing the questions we ask in surveys and interviews across the different collaborations enhances our ability to make both comparative claims which apply in the broadest range of educational contexts.
Taking advantage of openness: understanding the variety of perspectives on op...OER Hub
There has been considerable coverage of the growth of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) that give free access to courses that have familiar structures. However, there are many other ways in which Open Educational Resources are being used and influencing education. In the OER Research Hub we have worked across educational sectors looking at ways that OER are being adopted and used. In this paper we step back from some of the detailed work with collaborating projects to consider their different motivations and shared challenges. The case studies show how openness acts as inspiration, however the impact of openness can be harder to see. Our survey data is showing how open aspects can seem less important as projects seek to build to broad engagement, and that aims of widening access are challenged by findings that open education appeals to those who already have existing confidence and experience. The actions of the collaborating partners seek to address these issues for example through courses that help develop understanding of openness and by understanding the groups that they serve who have special needs.

CCCOER Presents: Models for Transforming Cassrooms to be Equitable and Antira...Una Daly
Many college faculty and staff have been engaged in making their institutions more accessible, inclusive, and equitable through the adoption of OER and open educational practices. One year ago, the need for this work became even more apparent as educators began to recognize that the structural racism deeply embedded in our society was in fact very evident in higher education as well. We invite you to hear from three college professors and the program staff who supported them in moving from the desire to make their classrooms more equitable and antiracist to taking concrete actions to do so.
Environmental Science Professor Jalal Ghaemghami and Librarian Ted (Totsaporn) Intarabumrung will share their open education work at Roxbury College.
Librarian Jen Klaudinyi, creator of the Oregon Equity and Open Education program, and Biology Professor Michelle Huss will share details of the cohort program and how a Biology course was transformed.

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 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
We’re starting the academic year with a critical discussion that so many educators are struggling with right now. How can we use OER to advance inclusion, address systemic racism, and give a voice to the life experiences of underrepresented people?
Join us for this webinar to find out about emerging practices for transforming your instructional materials and practices featuring a librarian, an instructional coach, and a faculty member. Topics range from sourcing images to reflect your students’ culture and identity, reforming your syllabus towards inclusion, and converting your classes to include viewpoints that reflect varied cultural and gendered identities.

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.
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.

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.

Open Education Week: Students and OER AdvocacyUna Daly
When: Thurs, March 5 noon PST/3pm EST
Open Education Resources (OER) remove cost barriers and provide a better learning experience for students who are unable to afford the required commercial textbooks. Student OER advocates directly understand these benefits and can effectively articulate them to their peers as well as to faculty, administrators, and policymakers.
Come and meet two Student OER Advocates who have led the development of an OER Student Toolkit for using at California higher education institutions to share guidelines and best practices for OER advocacy and development. We’ll also hear from the Director of Affordable Textbooks at US Pirgs on concrete next steps for students to take action on their own campuses.
Featured Speakers:

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.

Arizona OER Summit: Connections to Sustain and Grow Open EducationUna Daly
Keynote for DAY 2 of the Arizona OER SUmmit 2020. Emphasizing the importance of connections between people, institutions, organization over the implementation details of technology, licensing, and content for open education growth. Moving from the Maricopa College District to the entire state of Arizona and through the national CCCOER organization and other open education community members in North America to the world. The world view starts with OEGlobal and then internationally to UNESCO's OER 40C Resolution and finally bringing it back to student benefits through an open pedagogy project at Montgomery College and Kwantlen Polytechnical University linking to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
CCCOER Presents: Attributions. Authoring, and OER PlatformsUna Daly
Remixing openly licensed materials from different sources is a hallmark of OER but can make for complicated attributions. The webinar will start with best practices for attribution of curated openly licensed works. Three faculty will then share their experiences authoring and providing attributions of remixed OER in the Pressbooks and Libretexts platforms.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
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.

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.
