Highlights from Seminar 1 (10/6): OER Fundamentals

Great working with everyone last Friday. It was really interesting to learn a bit more about your motivations behind transitioning to OER. Some included the desire to integrate materials that are more relevant to students’ daily lives, to address textbook costs, to improve course coordination, and access to / dissemination of materials.

Slides from the first seminar are available here.

And below documents our notes as we considered what makes a successful OER.

  1. This post, collective point of reference, can be very valuable in building your site.
    It can be helpful that your colleagues are working in an open environment.
    Good course design always begins with the end goal … what are the Student Learning Outcomes … how do students demonstrate their learning through active learning strategies. Use your resources with WAC/ Writing Fellows, QR Fellows as you design your assignments.
