Finding Open Textbooks and CA State OER Initiative
Presented by Una Daly, Community College Outreach Director, at the Mid-Pacific ICT 2013 Conference in San Francisco January 3rd.
The state of California recently adopted legislation to develop open textbooks for the 50 highest enrolled college classes and store them in a statewide repository. The goal of the legislation is expanding access to education by saving students thousands of dollars each year in textbook costs. A key component of this equation is the adoption of open textbooks by the faculty and staff who support students and their learning.
Come to this session to learn more about finding, selecting, and adopting open textbooks and OER to enhance student learning. Case studies from the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources will be shared and an invitation to join their open and collaborative Advisory Board will be extended

Featured speakers:
Boyoung Chae, Policy Associate, eLearning and Open Education, Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges
The Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges released a report last month on use of open educational resources based on interviews with 60 faculty in Washington’s community and technical college system which was built upon a previous state-wide survey with 770 faculty. Faculty were queried about (1) how and why they chose to use OER (2) six benefits including student savings (3) six challenges of using OER (4) nine supports from college and statewide stakeholders that could help them to expand their OER use.
John Hilton III, Assistant Professor of Ancient Scripture, OER Researcher, Brigham Young University.
This presentation synthesizes the results of eight different peer-reviewed studies that examine (1) the perceptions students and instructors of OER that replaced traditional textbooks (2) the potential influence of OER on student learning outcomes, and (3) the cost-savings resulting from OER. Suggested paths forward to expand the pool of academic peer reviewed research on (1) the perceptions students and instructors have of OER, (2) the potential influence of OER on student learning outcomes, and (3) the cost-savings resulting from OER will also be shared.
CCCOER open education week reception at Innovations 2012
This document summarizes an event celebrating Open Education Week from March 5-10. It discusses open educational resources (OER) which are openly licensed teaching and learning materials that can be freely used and adapted. Examples of OER include open textbooks, courses, videos and images. The benefits of OER include reducing costs for students and enabling collaboration. Various organizations that support OER are mentioned including the OpenCourseWare Consortium and the Community College Open Educational Resources Consortium.
Open education @ sc4
Open Education @ SC4 introduces open educational resources (OER) which are freely available educational materials that can be used and adapted without cost to students. OER include open textbooks, course modules, and other materials that are licensed openly through Creative Commons. Using OER can significantly reduce textbook costs for students and lead to higher enrollment, lower withdrawal rates, and equivalent or better academic performance compared to traditional resources. SC4 supports the use of OER by helping faculty find, evaluate, create, and publish high-quality open resources while addressing concerns about discovery, peer review, and adaptability of existing materials.
Creating Successful OER Institutional Initiatives
This document outlines strategies for creating a successful open educational resources (OER) initiative at an institution. It emphasizes measuring outcomes like student savings and success over actions like workshops. It recommends starting with easy wins, designating a leader, and including people from across the institution. Specific approaches suggested include getting administrative support, presenting to departments, directly asking faculty to pilot OER, and promoting early OER adopters.
The Non-Disposable Assignment: Enhancing Personalised Learning - Session 2
Slides from our second meeting of three from a course redesign series on creating non-disposable assignments.
As advertised:
Do you want to offer students an opportunity to bring their passions, personal interests, and individual strengths into their coursework?
How can we design assessment which students feel connected to, value, and are proud to share with their peers?
Are you interested in learning how to create a non-disposable assignment for your students?
This 3-part assignment redesign workshop will take you through the steps to create a non-disposable assignment from beginning to end.
Disposable Assignments: "are assignments that students complain about doing and faculty complain about grading. They’re assignments that add no value to the world – after a student spends three hours creating it, a teacher spends 30 minutes grading it, and then the student throws it away” (Wiley, 2013).
This series is about creating a non-disposable assignment. The three sessions will blend a combination of some pre-reading, discussion, and in session time to flesh out the details of a rich assignment that allows students to co-create knowledge, be creative and engage in a personalised learning experience.
We’ll focus on crafting projects which meet your existing or redesigned course learning outcomes, explore tools for students to demonstrate their learning, and identify strategies for conducting peer-review. In the end you’ll end up with plan for implementing your redesigned assignment in Spring 2018 or Fall 2018.
Throughout the three-part workshop we will also be collectively exposing our own learnings to others in the group through a live reflection and blogging site to support our work. We hope faculty can attend all three parts as they are planned with the intent you are coming for the whole series.

Open Educational Resources (OER) - Benefits and Challenges
Open educational resources (OER) are educational materials that can be freely used and reused without cost. This document discusses the benefits and challenges of OER. The benefits include affordability, accessibility, additional learning resources, engagement, and up-to-date materials. However, challenges include issues of sustainability, quality, gaining faculty and institutional acceptance, and ensuring equal digital access. Overall, OER has potential to improve education but also faces obstacles that must be addressed for broader implementation.
OER @GSW
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and a study conducted at Georgia Southwestern State University (GSW) on using OER in an introductory psychology course. The study compared student performance and satisfaction between those using a traditional $100 textbook and those using a free online open-source textbook. Results found no significant difference in grades but students preferred the free online textbook and liked not having to purchase a textbook. Challenges included finding appropriate open-source texts and adjusting to the online format. Future directions include wider OER adoption across departments and increased OER awareness.
Understanding OER
This document discusses open educational resources (OER). It defines OER as including full courses, modules, syllabi, lectures, assignments, quizzes, activities, pedagogical materials, games, simulations, and textbooks. The benefits of OER are listed as being free to access and use, allowing legal access to multimodal resources, and providing alternative perspectives. Some potential issues with OER are that while they are free to use, creating and maintaining them requires resources; some fields have more OER than others; licenses can be complicated to understand; and grant-funded OER may have limited lifetimes. The document directs readers to the Big Bend Community College library guide for more information on OER.

Open education resources (oer)
This document provides an overview of Open Educational Resources (OER) from a workshop for BCIT part-time studies. It defines OER as freely accessible teaching, learning and research resources that can be fully used and shared digitally. Examples of OER include open textbooks, videos, course materials and software. Research presented found that student achievement and outcomes were the same or better when using OER compared to commercial textbooks. OER quality was evaluated in studies and found to be about 50% as good, 35% superior, and 15% inferior to traditional resources. The document discusses OER licensing, notably Creative Commons, and provides lists of open education repositories and resources that instructors can use and adapt for their courses.
The Road Ahead Open Educational Resources Touting the Benefits while Recog...
Identifies key challenges and benefits for instructors and students using Open Educational Resources (OER).
Openness and higher education
Open educational resources (OER) are educational materials that are freely available online for anyone to use, share, and adapt. OER can help address challenges in higher education by increasing access and reducing costs. There are many potential benefits to using OER, including increasing visibility for departments and institutions, improving pedagogy, and extending the reach of educational materials globally. However, adoption of OER faces constraints such as lack of awareness, technical barriers, and concerns about quality and copyright. Creating a culture of openness along with addressing technical, financial, legal, and individual factors can help increase use of OER.

Southwestern Week 2016
This document discusses free and open educational resources (OER) and their benefits. It notes that textbook costs are increasing, with students spending around $1200 per year, and that many cannot afford to purchase required textbooks. It encourages adopting or adapting free OER materials for courses and provides resources for finding OER. A survey of faculty who used OER found that most rated the quality as the same or better than traditional textbooks and said they were likely to use OER again in the future. Contact information is provided for people who can help with adopting OER.
How to Open Pedagogy: Tools and Techniques for Transforming Teaching
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and open pedagogy. It notes that many students struggle with the high costs of textbooks and access to higher education. OER can help reduce these barriers by making educational content free and accessible through open licensing. Open pedagogy empowers learners and facilitates collaboration by allowing students to actively contribute to educational resources. It also helps build connections between academic and public communities.
Enhancing Educational Outreach: Development of an Online Plagiarism Tutorial
Presentation by Jennifer Collery, Liaison Librarian at University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland, at EdTech 2014 (The 15th Educational Technology Conference of the Irish Learning Technology Association (ILTA)), held on May 29th & 30th, 2014 at University College Dublin, Ireland.
Introduction to Open: Plymouth State CETL Presentation
1) OPEN stands for Open Educational Resources, Open Pedagogy, and Open Access. OER are teaching resources that can be freely used and modified, including full courses, materials, videos, and tools.
2) Using OER can significantly reduce student textbook costs, which have increased 812% since 1978 compared to a 3.2% inflation rate. High textbook costs negatively impact students' learning by causing them to not purchase or drop courses.
3) Open pedagogy focuses on community and collaboration over content, treating education as a learner-developed process rather than experts imparting knowledge. It enables customization of required texts and creative approaches to learning outcomes, assignments, and grading.
OER Impact at Community College: eLearning 2014
The research project aimed to build the most comprehensive picture of OER impact. It was a collaboration between The Open University and CCCOER, funded by Hewlett, involving surveys and interviews. The survey of over 130 community college educators found that most had adapted OER but fewer created OER. Respondents believed OER improved their teaching and student outcomes like engagement and satisfaction. Over 60% said OER saved students money and over 1/3 thought it promoted student retention.
OTC 2013: Opening Up Learning with the Community College Consortium for OER P...
Openness is going mainstream, whether it's called open educational resources (OER), open textbooks, or massive open online courses (MOOCs). Attend this panel discussion to find out how California Community Colleges are leveraging open education to lower student costs and expand access. Topics will include adopting open textbooks, designing open online courses at community colleges, and integrating openness into professional development.

2) Using OER can significantly reduce student textbook costs, which have increased 812% since 1978 compared to a 3.2% inflation rate. High textbook costs negatively impact students' learning by causing them to not purchase or drop courses.
3) Open pedagogy focuses on community and collaboration over content, treating education as a learner-developed process rather than experts imparting knowledge. It enables customization of required texts and creative approaches to learning outcomes, assignments, and grading.

California ZTC Degrees Panel: Past, Present, and Future
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.

Open Education Resilience in Crisis and Beyond
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 Pedagogy
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.

CCCOER Presents: Regional Leaders of Open Education
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.
