Open Education Resources (OERs) provide several benefits but also some challenges. Some key benefits of OERs include allowing continuous updates to provide students with the most current information, saving students money by being free to use, and allowing instructors to focus more on teaching rather than developing course materials. However, challenges of OERs include verifying the quality of resources, finding relevant resources amid many options, and the time needed to select resources, understand how to use or create OERs, and keep self-created content up to date.

However, challenges of OER include a lack of created materials, the significant time investment required to create resources, needing education on proper use, and difficulty keeping track of various licenses when developing an entire course using OER.
Build a better university YouTube channel
Synopsis: Without their own channels on YouTube, universities miss an opportunity to connect with their target demographics. But can you build an effective channel for a university that’s as large as some cities and comes with a huge decentralized bureaucracy?
Find out how we did it – and how the “take-aways” from the research and planning can inform every social media effort.

Ray Kirby: Lectures are STILL Appropriate
The document argues against replacing face-to-face lectures with digital lectures in three main points:
1. Pedagogically, face-to-face lectures allow for more interaction between the lecturer and students, enabling discussions, questions, and active learning. Digital lectures encourage passive consumption and remove this interactivity.
2. Culturally, prospective students and parents expect the university experience to include attending lectures as part of being a student. Removing face-to-face lectures could harm recruitment.
3. Practically, replacing lectures could make the university's key statistics look worse and increase student attrition rates if students do not engage with the digital replacements.

Impacting Student Success with OER Adoption
Presentation on how open educational resources can impact student success at the Marion Technical College, Ohio.
2012 Florida Distance Learning Talk
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and the Open Course Library project in Washington State. It summarizes that:
1) High textbook costs reduce access to higher education, with students spending over $1,000 per year. The Open Course Library aims to lower these costs to under $30 per course.
2) The Open Course Library project will develop 81 high-enrollment courses and make them freely available online under Creative Commons licenses. This could save students over $7 million per year if 25% of courses use the resources.
3) Openly licensing educational content produced with public funds can help increase access, quality, and completion rates in higher education while making more efficient use of resources.
!2012 OER Talk
This presentation discusses how digital technologies and open licensing can increase access to education and lower costs. It argues that sharing educational resources digitally and with open licenses, like Creative Commons, allows knowledge and creative works to be distributed at near-zero cost, unprecedentedly increasing access. Examples are given showing how open licensing of course materials in Washington state has already saved students over $1 million in textbook costs in the first year. The presentation concludes that policies should encourage both digital and open educational content to realize greater benefits.
Beyond Free: The BC Open Textbook Project BCNet
The BC Open Textbook Project aims to increase access to post-secondary education by reducing student costs. It supports the development of free and open textbooks for high-enrollment courses. In its first two years, the project involved over 100 faculty and benefited over 5,000 students, saving an estimated $540,000 to $713,000 in textbook costs. The project allows faculty to customize resources while ensuring students have access to materials from day one. Research shows open textbooks may improve learning outcomes and provide opportunities for collaborative authoring and authentic learning activities.

The document discusses developing a culture of open education in Washington State by sharing educational resources openly. It notes that high textbook costs reduce access to higher education, with students spending $1,000 per year on average. For example, 50,000 students taking English Composition I each year at $100 per textbook amounts to over $5 million spent. Washington aims to create an Open Course Library with 81 high-enrollment courses available for less than $30 per textbook to improve completion rates and access. A new state policy also requires all digital educational resources created with public grants to use open licensing. The document questions what efficiencies could result if all publicly funded educational content was openly accessible.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
