Editor's Notes
- Julie – 5 R definition – One common definition - resources that you are free to use, you may revise, remix them with other OERs, redistribute, and retain. SUNY Definition - Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits repurposing by others.
- EL Student - Bureau of Labor stats reported that in 10 years- tuition increased 63% - textbooks increased 88% Instructor / Institution– Recent research showed that use of OA materials improved retention and student learning outcomes Researcher –furthers collaboration and increases visibility
- EL – Not just textbooks Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) DOAJ is a community-curated online directory that indexes and provides access to high quality, open access, peer-reviewed journals. shareware is used in contrast to open-source software, in which the source code is available for anyone to inspect and alter, and freeware, which is software distributed at no cost to the user but without source code being made available.
- Julie IITGs come from an Innovative Instruction Transformation Team A vision for a “network of networks” emerged, including tools and practices that will collaboratively increase efficiency and capacity for SUNY-wide delivery of high quality instruction. Encourage community of practice across disciplines and institutions
- JS - Suggested themes that achieve the grant proposal and focus on applied teaching and learning models …. These are all of the themes – our grant proposal addressed Faculty Development – Best Practices Instructional Design – Online Education Instructional Technologies – Open Source Programs or Apps
- EL Conceptualized a model – researched models Examples of funded projects - other R1 institution initiative Goal – providing incentives for faculty Goal – step 1 adoption , not creating Online coursework – access and international pop – strategic university ___
- EL – Faculty accepted have to meet 2 objectives 1) Redesign - 6 fac per semester – total 12 courses – by avg # students x avg textbook cost $145 = total savings per semester - substantial significant Faculty had to demonstrate savings in their proposal Ongoing support – Instruction session, Expert guidance , and Peer Support ( workshop, F/U consultation with a design team of and community of practice via Blackboard and suite of resources from Library Guide ) Incentive – completing the model and providing outcomes data
- JS Workshop attendance – Follow-up support consultations with Elaine and myself – gain assistance on evaluating OERs and application to an online course Redesign of an online course – with no cost or low cost resources Commitment Documentation of learning and retention outcomes
- EL - Participants will attend a full-day workshop featuring SUNY wide experts on adoption and remixing OERs. The featured speakers are Michael Daly from FM CC and SUNY OER services, Laura Murray from SUNY and CUNY and Dr. PD Magnus our very own early adopter and author of an internationally-utilized OER Text.
- JS – Keeping in line with SUNY's mission – to foster a community of practice – A blackboard Organization has been developed. In this organization, faculty can find resources and support one another. We envision this online organization will engender interdisciplinary discourse that is sustainable and grows beyond the grant.
- EL – deep resources and evaluation protocol …. In development
- We have a nice cross-disciplinary mix of instructors for our first cohort. We are very excited to work with this group, and we’d like to acknowledge the participants at this time. If the instructors could stand or raise a hand when your name is called! ~~~ Thank you for participation and we look forward to working with you all
