CCOTC16: OER Degree Pathways, Certificates, and CoursesUna Daly
A panel of Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) members will share how they are adopting OER for degree pathways, certificates, and courses at their colleges. CCCOER was founded in 2007 and now composes over 250 colleges in 21 states and provinces. Members collaborate online regularly at monthly webinars and advisory meetings and in-person at conferences on best practices for OER adoption. This cross-institutional sharing of open educational resources, open practices, open policies, and open research provides a powerful OER advocacy network for community colleges. New members have immediate access to online resources and a community of OER practitioners and experts who can help them launch their projects more efficiently and quickly. Meetups at regional and national conferences provide an opportunity to share and promote successful OER adoption strategies of our members with colleagues in higher education. Audience participation will be welcomed.
Our eLearning Panel will be moderated by Una Daly, CCCOER Director and our panelists include:
• James Glapa-Grossklag, Dean, Educational Technology, Learning Resources and Distance Learning

June 8: Designing for Open Pedagogy with CCCOERUna Daly
Please join the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) for a free and open webinar on Designing for Open Pedagogy. Open Pedagogy was first introduced by Lumen Learning co-founder David Wiley, as a way to capture how the use of OER can change educational practices. He relates that using OER in the same way as traditional textbooks is like driving an airplane down the road – it is missing out on what open can provide for student and teacher collaboration, engagement, and learning.
When: June 8, 10amPST/1pmEST
We will hear from two professors who have not only adopted OER but have redesigned their courses with the principles of open pedagogy. Although reduced cost is what originally attracted them to using OER, involving their students in creating and evaluating OER course materials has significantly increased student engagement and critical thinking and their courses are continually being updated and improved as a result.
Featured Speakers:
• Suzanne Wakim, Biology Faculty Butte College, OER Coordinator
Will share her open course design strategy where students in subsequent semesters build on the work of those before them to create an open textbook and ancillary material. Students discuss and decide on how best to present material in the book, what applications are relevant for each topic, and what materials can help other students learn the course content.
• Mike Elmore, Political Science Faculty, Tacoma Community College
Will share how he has engaged students in collaborative writing of an Introduction to Political Science open textbook. His students report that writing assignments take on new meaning when they realize that other people are going to read their work. Not just repeating what they have read or heard in class, they compare their understanding with their peers and collaborate to present their ideas in the best way possible.

Adopt an Open Textbook for Your Intro Course in Less Than 20 HoursErin Owens
Lightning Talk by Professor Erin Owens at Sam Houston State University (SHSU) PACE Teaching & Learning Conference, Aug 12, 2021:
High textbook costs disproportionately impact first-generation, minority, and low-income students. These costs can be especially hard to swallow in introductory courses outside a student’s major. While e-textbooks may lower the initial price-tag, they cannot be resold and are not ideal for all learners. But there’s another option: You can provide immediate, free digital access to an open textbook, with a low-cost print option available through the bookstore for students who prefer print. You can do it quickly, without sacrificing the convenience of supplementary materials, and if you’re feeling intimidated, the library can help. Learn more in this lightning session!

Do the Outcomes Justify the Buzz?: An Assessment of LibGuides at Cornell Univ...Steven Adams
Springshare's LibGuides has inspired significant buzz in the library blogosphere. Touted for its "Web 2.0" functions, attractive interface, and ease of use for librarians, Libguides has transformed the way many libraries build web-based research guides. Cornell and Princeton Universities decided to collaborate on an assessment initiative to discover how these guides are valued on each campus. This study goes beyond the "2.0" dogma to empirically determine if LibGuides lives up to its publicity.

National Research Results: How & Why Do Students Use Closed Captioning?3Play Media
Earlier this year, the Oregon State University Ecampus Research Unit conducted a nationwide research project on closed captioning in higher education. With over 2,500 student respondents, this is the largest study on the topic to date.
In this webinar, Dr. Katie Linder, the head researcher on the project, will present for the first time on the findings of the study. She will take a close look at how students use and perceive captioning and transcription at their institutions (beyond the need for accommodation).
This presentation will cover:
Data & results from the student study
Student awareness of the availability of captioning
Student use of captioning and transcription
How & why students who have not requested an accommodation for captioning use captions and transcripts
How captions & transcripts support learning
The perceived benefits of captioning & transcription on learning
Common captioning hindrances identified by students
Takeaways from the study

OK. We are past the May 1 "finish line" and now have a good (or somewhat good) handle on what our class looks like for the fall ... Except there are a few issues:
Summer Melt will still happen
We need to fill upper-level courses with transfer students because of retention issues
The President decided she actually wants 20 more students than we had originally planned
Do any of these sound familiar? It's most likely that if you are not "in the top 1% of institutions" you are dealing with one if not all of these challenges (or others!) as you try to shift gears to 2018 but are still on the hook for 2017.
How do enrollment managers find that balance between long-term strategy and just bringing in their class? This webinar will provide some insights and suggestions for bridging short-term enrollment gaps while not sacrificing long-term strategic planning.

The Student Room The Secrets to Successfully Converting Students Report 2015The Student Room Group
Universities are allocating more time and money to marketing open days, engaging
with students on social media, improving their prospectuses and developing their
websites in order to attract applications from students. Those applications are now in,
students have made their five choices, and are now tying down which of these will be
their firm and insurance options. But what are the factors that influence this decision?
How should marketers focus their efforts at this crucial time to swing the decision in
their favour?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
