The document discusses open educational resources (OER). It defines OER as teaching, learning, and research materials that are freely available under open licenses allowing their use and modification. The document outlines several benefits of OER, including being free of cost, their abundance online, and ease of searching. However, it also notes challenges like reviewing materials for accuracy, choosing materials suited for one's needs, and properly understanding open licensing terms for legal use. In conclusion, the author is a strong proponent of OER but emphasizes the importance of understanding associated policies for compliant use.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. What is OER?
• The below definition is from the creative commons,
https://creativecommons.org/about/program-areas/education-oer/
• “Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and
research materials that are either (a) in the public domain or
(b) licensed in a manner that provides everyone with free and
perpetual permission to engage in the 5R activities.
• Retain – make, own, and control a copy of the resource
• Reuse – use your original, revised, or remixed copy of the resource publicly
• Revise – edit, adapt, and modify your copy of the resource
• Remix – combine your original or revised copy of the resource with other
existing material to create something new
• Redistribute – share copies of your original, revised, or remixed copy of the
resource with others”

3. Benefits
• Using OER materials have numerous benefits for both student and
instructor
• This is just a small list of 5 benefits and certainly is not an exhaustive
list
This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA
4. Benefit #1: PRICE, PRICE, PRICE!
• Its very hard to beat the price of OER materials
• I can recall quarters in the later 90’s and early 2000’s when my books
would cost upwards of $500
• Not every student has an extra $500 laying around to spend on
learning materials
• OER materials are a great way around the price of learning materials!
5. Benefit #2: Abundance
• There is no shortage of OER materials out there!
• If one thing doesn’t work for you then you can search through many
more
• NOTE: Of course, not every subject will be represented the same.
While searching for biology materials I found a plethora of things. I
searched for “underwater basket weaving” and got nothing…

6. Benefit #3: Ease of Searching
• We live in the information era for sure and we have a valuable tool
called the internet where we can search for nearly anything.
• This goes along with Benefit #2: Abundance
• Lots of user-friendly places to search for OER materials
This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA-NC
7. Benefit #4: Flexibility of Materials
• You can find OER materials for every level of education
• Most of what I found while searching for biology materials was
geared towards college level learning
• There are early learning resources all the way up to med school
materials available
• SIDE NOTE: Found some great worksheets for my 4 year old so he can keep
those ABC’s sharp over the summer
8. Benefit #5: You don’t have to reinvent the
wheel!
• The instructor in me loves this the most!
• Why build all your materials from the ground up? That is very time
consuming to do
• Instead, find OER materials that fit your needs or materials you can
tailor to your needs (if that is allowed of course!)

10. Challenge #1: Reviewing the material
• I have been asked to review OER texts on a few occasions and it takes
time
• While this isn’t hard it is mind numbing and you can miss important
things that should be addressed before using in the course
11. Challenge #2: Accuracy
• This hasn’t been a huge issue in the OER materials I have used but it
has caused some confusion
• If you miss things from Challenge #1 then your lectures may not
match what the OER materials are saying
• BELIEVE ME, students will find this and let you know!
• This has caused questions on assessments to be tossed out then you
need to make sure you “re-teach” the subject matter

12. Challenge #3: Choosing the right stuff
• With abundance comes the challenge of choosing the right stuff for your
course
• I have fallen into this pit a few times
• It happens like this: I find this awesome OER material that is perfect (at
least I thought) for the course and low and behold its full of information
that wasn’t taught in the courses leading up to mine (face palm…)
• Learning objectives help to get around this a little bit but I recommend
making sure the class will have the right knowledge to do/use the material.
• NOTE: My sons wanted a mario pic somewhere in this ppt….I am just doing
what I am told…

13. Challenge 4: Using resources correctly
• I am finding that not all OER materials make this obvious (I wish they
would…)
• Last thing I want to do is do something wrong while using an OER
resource
• Full disclosure: I am super guilty of this. While its easy to find these
great resources, its not always obvious what restrictions they have
• I looked back at a few OER materials I have used and most I did things
right but a few I changed, and I was not supposed to (face palm…)
14. Challenge #5: Learning about OER materials
• Why is this not mandatory?! (No seriously, it should be mandatory…)
• Ignorance is not always a valid excuse, and I will fully say that I was
very ignorant on how OER works (until this course)
• This is sad because I had been using OER materials prior to this course
and not always following the rules (face palm…)
• Since this course (or similar) are not required, it allows users of OER
materials to not always follow the rules
• These rules are not always spelled out and with a simple month-long
course you can figure out how to use them correctly

15. Final Thoughts
• Over-all I am a huge fan of OER materials
• The price and abundance of materials is a huge draw but not needing to re-invent the wheel each time
• I encourage everyone to give OER materials a try and to seek out a course to help them understand what
OER is all about!
• NOTE: My 7 year old son thought this needed a pic of a white shark attacking a seal…
