Achieving the Dream: OER Degree Program Overview CONGRATULATIONS!

I have a plan for today, but I’m also willing to scrap everything to meet your needs as an audience. Photo Attribution: https://flic.kr/p/mSNUJj

WHERE ARE YOU? I’m just learning about open education. I have a good understanding. I have experience with open education. I feel strong philosophical alignment. I’m pragmatic about its applications. I’m skeptical but listening. I’m not sure what to do next. I have a vision and a plan. I sometimes ask “What do you want to learn?” Depends on the size of the audience. Develop

Open Educational Resources Open educational resources, also called OER, are one solution to this complex problem of college affordability and student success. OER isn’t a magic bullet for every problem that ails higher education. But OER represent a powerful and underutilized solution for many students, faculty members and institutions. OER demonstrate so much promise, in fact, that this is the solution to these problems that Lumen focuses on. A growing body of empirical research shows us that OER can remove barriers to and actually increase student success. When students have free, day one access to the materials they need to succeed, they perform better. And when they don’t have to buy expensive textbooks, many of them reinvest textbook cost savings in their educational path, taking more credits to complete college sooner. Instructors tell us students are more engaged in the course material in OER courses. You wonder why? Because they have the course materials. It’s not a mystery why they would engage and learn better when the can access the content. CC BY image from https://www.flickr.com/photos/kretyen/2628104710

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 their free use and re-purposing by others. OER include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.

David Wiley, Why Should You Offer an OER Degree Program?

Why Does This Work Matter? The Open Educational Resources (OER) Degree Initiative seeks to boost college access and completion, particularly for underserved students, by engaging faculty in the redesign of courses and degree programs through the replacement of proprietary textbooks with open educational resources.   Over the next three years, the Open Educational Resources Degree Initiative will lay the groundwork for nationwide adoption of OER Degrees.

Lumen-Supported OER Courses Candela Courses Waymaker Courses OER Degree Programs Our course design process offers three ways we work with institutions: Candela courses are complete digital courses that offer customizable OER to replace traditional textbooks. You might think of these as comparable to a publisher’s e-text offerings: no better, no worse. Waymaker courses are complete digital courses designed around a personalized learning pedagogy and toolset. With these courses, we’ve taken the learning design several steps further, with the goal of creating a more powerful, more effective learning experience for students using OER. OER degree programs provide students with an OER option for all the courses and electives required to complete a college degree. This means a student can earn a college degree and never be asked to buy a commercial textbook. We work with a number of institutions to create, launch and support full OER degree programs, which can make a significant impact on college affordability especially for community college students. Complete digital courses: customizable OER replace traditional textbooks Complete OER courses with personalized learning tools and pedagogy OER options for all required courses and electives in full degree programs

Achieving the Dream Program Requirements

Open Courses vs. Open Textbooks Your OER course should include everything an other instructor would need to teach the course, such as: Assignments Test Questions Discussion Topics PowerPoint Slides

Think “curation” first, then “creation.” Word Choice Matters HELPFUL TIP: Adopt existing OER whenever possible, build only when absolutely necessary. Think “curation” first, then “creation.” Linda Williams quote from SF kick-off. Build is a bad word!

What Licensing Guidelines Do I Need to Follow? Any new OER materials that you develop must be licensed as CC-BY (Attribution Only) Any existing OER materials that are used must follow the AtD Licensing Guidelines (see “Rainbow” handout) Supplemental Materials Litmus Test: Can someone still teach the course if the content goes away? Can students still meet the learning objectives?

The Rainbow Handout

Are There Exceptions? If your course is about an “artifact” that is All Rights Reserved copyright protected you can request an exemption. IMPORTANT: Journal articles, videos, that picture that you just love to use, etc. generally will not qualify. To request and exemption complete the form at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/artifact-exception

How will licensing be verified? AtD is requiring that all OER degree courses be certified by Lumen Learning as “open” by the requirements of the grant. This is will provide legal protection for everyone. To have your course certified you will need to complete a Course Map that: Aligns to Learning objectives Links to the OER content to be used Lists the Creative Commons license Questions about the course map’s role in this grant? Please see Quill West’s video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlVPFHc5AkE
