OER Policy: Overview & Opportunities (#opened13 11.7.13 Park City, UT)Nicole Allen
The document discusses OER (open educational resources) policy, including different types of policies, advocacy strategies, and opportunities. It describes resource allocation policies that devote funding to OER creation/adoption, licensing policies that require open licensing of educational materials, and inducement policies that acknowledge and support OER use. The presenter advocates presenting OER as a solution, working with stakeholders, and keeping messaging simple. Opportunities discussed include more grants requiring open licensing, state collaboration on textbooks, institutional licensing policies, and policies around the FASTR Act and a White House directive.

The State of Open Education (#OpenCon2014)Nicole Allen
This document summarizes Nicole Allen's presentation on the state of open education at OpenCon 2014. It discusses the history and definitions of open educational resources (OER) and open education. It provides data showing the high costs of textbooks increasing much more than tuition or overall inflation. It also shares statistics on the number of open educational initiatives and resources available, including open textbooks, courses, and Creative Commons licensed works. Finally, it discusses policies supporting OER and evidence that OER can lead to cost savings and better educational outcomes for students.
Chromosomes contain DNA and proteins. Eukaryotic chromosomes are made of DNA and histone proteins. Genes are segments of DNA that control traits, and alleles are variant forms of genes. Mutations, such as base substitutions, can cause genetic disorders like sickle cell anemia. Meiosis produces gametes through two cell divisions, resulting in genetic variation. Non-disjunction during meiosis can cause aneuploidies like Down syndrome. Mendel's experiments on pea plants established the laws of inheritance and showed dominant and recessive traits.
This document appears to be a slide presentation about open educational resources (OER) and their potential to help address the rising costs of textbooks and other course materials. Some key points made in the presentation include:
- Textbook prices have risen 812% since 1978, far outpacing inflation rates for other goods. Many students cannot afford required textbooks.
- OER are freely available teaching and learning materials that can be legally reused and adapted. Their use can help lower costs for students while improving learning outcomes.
- Studies have found higher grades and completion rates among students using OER instead of traditional textbooks in some courses. More research is still needed.
- Ways individuals and institutions can support OER adoption include making
Open Educational Resources Overview (UT Austin, 4/6/15)Nicole Allen
The document discusses the rising cost of textbooks and the role of open educational resources (OER) in making education more affordable. It notes that textbook prices have risen much faster than inflation, putting financial strain on students. OER provide a solution as they are free to use and can be customized by educators. The document outlines how libraries can support OER adoption through programs, publishing, and collaboration.

#OERde14 Keynote: "Generation Open: An International Look at the Coming Revol...Nicole Allen
We live at a time of transition between the disconnected, analog past to the wired, digital future. Nowhere is the tension between these two worlds more obvious than in education, where schools and universities hold onto centuries-old paradigms at the same time they seek to harness today’s technology. Many of these paradigms — for example, the traditional lecture-style course that we often see replicated in MOOCs — create unnecessary limitations and barriers that hold back the transformational power of technology in education. Openness is the key to overcoming these barriers and unleashing all that is possible in the digital environment. Teachers, learners, researchers, and policymakers around the world are awakening to this potential, creating a new generation that will define the future of education. I’m part of Generation Open, are you?
#OAweek14 @ UNCG: OER and Solving the Textbook Cost Crisis Nicole Allen

views
The cost of college textbooks has grown to a point that virtually every campus is now seeking solutions. While many colleges and universities like UNCG have successfully reduced costs through stop-gap measures such as rental programs and textbook reserves, the greatest potential for permanently solving the problem lies in Open Educational Resources (OERs), which are academic materials that are freely available online for everyone to use, adapt, and share. Institutions across the country have begun to leverage OERs to reduce textbook costs, expand access to information, and enable faculty to better tailor materials to their courses. This talk will provide an overview of the OER movement to date, including how to identify OERs, how they are created, and research showing the impact on students. It will also help frame the opportunity for UNCG to advance OER right on campus.
Overview of Open Educational Resources (NSCC Faculty Institute, 6/10/14Nicole Allen
This document discusses open educational resources (OER). It provides an overview of OER, including definitions and the benefits of open licensing. It describes various models for creating and adopting OER, such as open publishing platforms and public funding initiatives. Examples are given of OER adoption at the institutional level, including Tidewater Community College creating degree programs using only OER and reducing costs for students. Barriers to OER are mentioned, along with strategies to support greater awareness, discovery, and use of OER.
This document discusses colors and their meanings, genres of music, and how to find and attract a target audience. It mentions that blue represents calm, white is peaceful, and black is associated with darkness. Mixed genres include rock, rap, and hip hop. The target audience includes females, males, teenagers, and older generations. Technologies learned about include the magic wand tool, crop tool, paint brush, text box, and eye drop tool.
2007-10-19 How To Pass Textbooks Legislation In Your State (SWSLC)Nicole Allen
The document provides strategies for passing legislation to lower the costs of textbooks for college students. It outlines the high costs of textbooks, tactics used by publishers to drive up prices, and how the textbook market differs from a normal market. It then discusses various types of legislation that could be proposed, including price disclosure laws, and strategies for gaining support and passing such legislation, like building coalitions and garnering media attention.
2014-03-26 Libraries & Open Educational Resources (#NERCOMP14)Nicole Allen
The document discusses open educational resources (OER) and the role of libraries in supporting OER. It summarizes that OER are openly licensed educational materials that can be freely used, adapted, and shared. Libraries are helping to address barriers to adopting OER, such as through grant programs that support faculty in selecting and using OER. Examples are provided of library initiatives at various universities that have saved students millions in textbook costs by promoting OER.
