Trying to think of ways to save your students money while still providing quality content? This session will provide an overview of OER (Open Educational Resources) and how to implement it in an accessible, user-friendly way. We’ll show multiple examples of OER and UDL (Universal Design for Learning) best practices.
This is a North Central University course (EL 7002-8), Introduction to E-Learning . It is written in APA format, has been graded by an instructor (A), and includes references. Most higher-education assignments are submitted to turnitin, so remember to paraphrase. Let us begin.

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.

2. ABOUT OER
Open education resources (OER) are “teaching, learning, and research materials in any medium that
reside in the public domain or that have been released under an open license that permits no-cost
access, use, adaptation, and redistribution by others” (Green, Illowsky, Wiley, Ernst, & Young, 2018).
OER exist in a variety of forms (text, images, audio, video) in many locations online. Entire courses can be
sampled through sources such as Open Yale Courses and MIT OpenCourseWare.
3. BENEFITS
Cost-saving for students
Openstax (2019) estimates that since 2012, their textbooks “have saved 9 million students over $830 million…this year
alone 3 million students are using (their) books and saving over $233 million.”
Shows empathy for students
Building community and instructor-student rapport is important to student success. By choosing OER, the instructor
shows that they understand and empathize with the financial challenges of being a college student.
Availability of materials
More and more OER materials are being published than ever before; this trend indicates that finding effective OER in a
few years will probably be much easier.
Multiple means of representation (UDL)
Universal Design for Learning posits that giving all students the best classroom experience possible means that content
should be represented in multiple forms (images, multimedia, text, etc.). OER’s growing variety means that instructors can
follow UDL’s principles for free in their practice (ASHA, 2019).
Models academic integrity and knowledge-share
We urge students to cite their sources and respect others’ intellectual property. An instructor who uses OER would
effectively model this practice and set a good example for students.
4. CHALLENGES
Materials aren’t available for all disciplines/courses
A quick perusal of Openstax’s available textbooks shows dozens available in STEM fields, but only one categorized as
Humanities.
Quality may not be on par with paid sources
Some OER may not be peer reviewed or bear other marks of academic assurance like traditional textbooks; instructors
must be careful to check that OER is current and reputable before assigning it.
Some students prefer print materials
Kinesthetic learners may prefer to have a physical book to highlight and annotate.
Materials might not be accessible to users with disabilities (screen readers, captioning, etc.)
All course material distributed digitally MUST be section 508 compliant. Using inaccessible materials could open the
instructor or college to lawsuits.
Sustainability is a concern
Verifying that OER are up-to-date and good quality is a time-consuming and expensive process. Some OER sources or
platforms may not update or renew materials due to lack of funding. As a result, using the same sources for several
quarters or semesters may be challenging.
