Using Open Educational Resources to Improve Affordability, Access and Student...Lumen Learning
The cost of expensive commercial textbooks a growing barrier to students’ success. Many institutions are now turning to freely available open textbooks and other open educational resources (OER) as a better alternative. Today, a growing number of colleges and universities are eliminating textbook costs in OER-based courses that give students free access to all course materials on the first day of class.
This presentation, prepared by open education innovator Dr. David Wiley and Center for Excellence in Distance Learning director Dr. Kim Long discusses what is OER, how to find and use OER, and the linkage between OER and improvements in student success, with a particular focus on minority-serving institutions.
Afternoon track B for team members that support faculty in academic leadership, instructional design, library, or other roles discussion facilitated by Nate Angell from the Introduction to Open Educational Resources (OER) workshop held on 21 Oct 2014 for the University System of Maryland at bwtech@UMBC South campus.

Adopting OER for Pathways, Certificates, & CoursesUna Daly
A panel of members from the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) will share how they are adopting OER for Pathways, Certificates, and Courses at their colleges. CCCOER was founded in 2007 and now composes over 250 colleges in 22 states and provinces. Members collaborate online regularly and in-person at conferences on best practices for OER adoption. This cross-institutional sharing of open educational resources, open practices, open research, and open policies provides a powerful OER advocacy network for community colleges. New members have immediate access to 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 throughout higher education. Audience participation will be welcomed.
Our eLearning Panel will be moderated by Una Daly, CCCOER Director and our panelists include:
Cynthia Alexander, Distance Education Coordinator and Faculty at Cerritos College.

California Community College Faculty Motivation and Reflection on Open Textbo...Una Daly
Interviews were conducted with twelve faculty members at community colleges in California who adopted open textbooks in their teaching practice for one academic term or longer. The interviews queried faculty on motivation to undertake the adoption, pedagogical considerations, student savings and feedback, and support from other campus stakeholders.
Faculty were asked how their teaching and student learning was affected as a result of adopting an open textbook in their course. Specifically they were asked if they were collaborating more with other faculty members and whether they were now using a wider range of instructional materials in their courses. With regards to student learning, they were asked if they believed that student learning had improved or whether student retention had improved as a result of the adoption of an open and free textbook. Any unanticipated outcomes that had resulted from the adoption either in their own practice or with students was also queried.
In addition to the faculty and students, other stakeholders on campus are often involved in the decision and process to adopt an open textbook. College initiatives or pilot programs to increase access and equity were sometimes the instigators for making the change and other times it was strictly a faculty decision. Library, instructional design, and bookstore staff were other stakeholders who played roles in the adoption process.
Attend this presentation to better understand the motivations of college faculty who adopt open textbooks and how it affected their teaching practice. Hear about the challenges they encountered and any unexpected outcomes. Learn what students had to say about using open textbooks in the classroom and how it affected their learning and ability to be successful.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Why Use OER?
• Eliminate textbook cost as a barrier to student success
Access
Level playing field
Time = money
• Increase faculty control of learning materials
Revise and remix for the best collection
Target to learning goals and student needs
• Community-based approach to teaching materials

Why NOT Use OER?
• Concerns about quality
Do high-quality resources exist in my discipline?
Where do I find them?
• Time
I don’t have time to write an open textbook or aggregate
resources.
• Sustainability
How do I know that two years from now the resources will still
exist and will be current?
• Preference for current textbook
22. 22
Faculty Approaches
BUILD ADAPT ADOPT
• Develop new materials
• Aggregate materials
from high-quality OER
• Create tools and
systems
• Create media
• Share or publish
Similar in scope to writing
a new textbook with many
collaborators.
• Identify high-quality
course or resource
• Create significant
revision
• Remix, aggregate
• Share or publish
Similar in scope to moving
from traditional to fully
online delivery.
• Review open course
• Refine for teaching
approach
• Align with syllabus
• Assign and reference
Similar in scope to using a
new textbook or a major
new edition.
23. 23
Shifting Faculty Engagement with OER
• REUSE – This is MY content
• REVISE – This is a starting point for
improvement
• REMIX – This is the best collection of materials
for each concept or outcome
• REDISTRIBUTION – This exists in a community
of collaborators

What is the same about these? (Discussion)
Point: both are covered under the full protection of the law; have full protection of copyright law, anything I create has the same protection as the most expensive movie ever created, all copyright is pervasive...what is the impact of this? It impacts the way we share, the way we teach, the way we learn.

At its core, open materials are 4Rs
First three are what impact teaching and learning
Bundling multiple texts is expensive:
Focused on return of investment of textbook
Revise: reduce the amount of materials
Opportunity for students to engage in materials…engaging students to revise and add to the textbook for their course
Free is awesome…but its just a part of what this is about
Open source software community has it
There are broad global uses of CC outside of education as well
(Click on hyperlink) Discuss 3 layers of licensing: Human Readable (language means I can understand it); Legal Code (legalese); Machine Readable (Google search can pick it up)
Demo Advanced Google search and looking for CC logo (generally found at the bottom of webpages)
Case against using CC NC for materials you create is removing the option to print materials for students
CC button says it gives permission
CCBY means attribute it to the original author
Creates professional network
Personal connections
Commerical Use: can someone use the material
Sharealike: revise but keep the same license
NC License hurts when printing: need to have a sustainable process; CK 12 agreement under $5 per book; extra piece; we are still living in a world where we need print materials
If Kscope is funding faculty time, materials created must be CCBY
Openly sharing materials is powerful
Recent research (conducted by the Florida Virtual Campus) quantifies the ways high textbook costs affect student persistence and success.
More than 60% of students report not having purchase textbooks at some point due to the cost
Nearly a quarter (23%) of students regularly go without textbooks due to their cost
Due to the high cost of textbooks:
35% of students report taking fewer courses
31% report not registering for a course
14% have dropped a course
10% have withdrawn from a course

Many instructors begin with textbook, favored lessons, and time-honored activities rather than deriving those tools from targeted goals or standards – “backward” from conventional habits. This approach can be thought of as purposeful task-analysis.
The results are a more sharply defined teaching and learning target so that students perform better knowing their goal.
There is greater coherence among desired results, key performances, and teaching and learning experiences which leads to better students performance – the purpose of instructional design.
