The document discusses the benefits and challenges of using Open Educational Resources (OER). Some key benefits include cost savings for students through free online textbooks, time savings for instructors who can reuse materials created by others, and the ability for anyone to author OER materials. However, there are also challenges to consider, such as ensuring OER materials are accessible to those who are deaf, blind, or have other physical or learning disabilities. Other challenges involve technology limitations in rural areas and issues with maintaining and updating OER materials over time as they are stored in different online locations. The document concludes by noting there are mixed views on OER and both traditional and non-traditional students may face struggles in different ways when using these open resources

Guide to Establishing an Online Teaching Programspagball
More than a decade ago, the American Psychological Association (APA) Task Force on Distance Education and Training in Professional Psychology (2002).
As a response to how an institution might address concerns cited by the task force and as a resource for faculty members considering online teaching, the APA Committee of Psychology Teachers at Community Colleges (PT@CC) has created the Guide to Establishing an Online Teaching Program.
It is divided into three sections: Faculty Preparation for Online
Teaching, College Support for Online Teaching, and Online
Student Support Services.

Open libraries for EDGE conference Edinburg, Scotland 2016Jan Holmquist
Denmark’s public libraries are ‘open libraries’ — open around 15 hours a day, with staffing only about 16 hours a week.
If you have a library card, you already have the key to lock yourself into the library. You can check media in and out, use the internet, use a PC, play games, read newspapers, study etc.
What part does the building play in supporting the library strategy and the librarian in the community? How do we use nudging when we develop or change the library?
Jan believes the best library is created by being globally inspired and transforming that inspiration into acting locally in your community.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. Benefits and Challenges of
using Open Educational
Resources (OER)
BY GINGER CHAMPION, MOWINS COORDINATOR
2. Benefits
Online textbooks
First and far most, the cost saving to students
Saves instructors time, the wheel is not being re-invented! Collaboration.
Instructors can select assignments, chapters, videos, or an entire course from various
sources
University and Community College enhanced reputation
OER can be authored by anyone
As more institutions become familiar with the process and benefits, more best
practices will become available to all.
3. Challenges
Accessibility
Will OER authors remember to consider the 5 main accessibility challenges?
Deaf or hard of hearing
Blind or visually impaired
Color blind
Learning disabilities
Physical disabilities
Technology
Rural settings still have internet accessibility isssues. State Fair Community College has a large population of students without
internet at their home.
Digital literacy is an issue with non-traditional manufacturing students.
Quality Control
Once materials has been uploaded, will authors keep them up-to-date
So many places to store data, searching is time consuming
4. Thoughts about OER
My feelings are mixed dues to the challenges that I faced during this training. I am not a faculty
member. Often the training was geared for their purposes. I don’t create instruction materials for
students. I use very little social media and often felt at a disadvantaged. I took this training hoping
to complete a TAACCCT grant requirement and needed to learn more about Metadata which was
not covered.
Searching was time consuming. If I were 20 or 30 years younger, I believe my perspective would
be very different. Many of my 30 year old co-workers understood the assignments. However, for
me most of it was unfamiliar. Having said that, some non-traditional students will struggle with
OER, with attributing their work, while traditional students who have used digital media nearly
from birth will flourish.
For those individuals who will upload instructional materials to OER, I hope they will take the extra
time and consider those with disabilities before completing the upload process.
