This document summarizes a survey of digital liberal arts programs at eight small liberal arts colleges. It finds that while the programs started small and informal, often growing out of existing initiatives, they aim to develop innovative curriculum, promote faculty-student collaboration, and expand research opportunities through technology. The programs involve students in various ways but lack physical centers, instead relying on virtual presences and engaging with local histories through projects. Key challenges include maintaining visibility, sustainability beyond grant funding, and finding the right fit within each institution's specific resources and mission.

Isabelle Turmaine - Presentation 1 - Presentation of the Workshop

Amanda Sudic

This document outlines the agenda for a two-day validation workshop on open educational resources (OER) for academic librarians in Anglophone Africa. The workshop aims to update librarians' knowledge of OER, discuss OER use, reuse and production, and provide feedback on a proposed OER training program for librarians. It will be participatory, focusing on interactive group discussions and feedback on a prospective project. Day one covers information sharing, while day two focuses on projects and proposals.

Open Educational Resources (OER) are course materials that are available for free and can be legally shared and adapted. OER provide several benefits such as lowering costs for students, promoting lifelong learning through open collaboration, and allowing international institutions to work together. However, OER also face challenges including a lack of centralized access, ensuring high quality and avoiding bias, determining proper ownership, and overcoming resistance to change from those creating traditional educational resources.

How OER Use Fosters Policy and Practice Change

Una 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.
