HOW lessons learned in adoption
AND THEN the opportunities created
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.
Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks,
streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support
access to knowledge.

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.
Lesson 3
Faculty require diverse approaches and supports

Lesson 4
The community must own the connection
So what?
What can be done only in the context of open?
1. Continuous Quality Improvement
2. Open Pedagogy
Open
5Rs give you permission to make changes, but...
don’t tell you what needs changing.
Analytics
Identify the weaker parts of your course, but...
don’t give you permission to fix them.
Open + Analytics
Open + Analytics
identifying the weaker parts of your course
+ permissions to fix them
continuous quality improvement
Open Pedagogy
What kind of activities can students engage in with OER / open data / open access articles that they cannot do otherwise?
“Disposable Assignments”Students hate doing themYou hate grading themHuge waste of time and energy
• Students see value in doing them• You see value in grading them• Actually add value to the world
“Valuable Assignments”
From Process to Product
In theory, all assignments have students engage in valuable processes.
There’s no reason they shouldn’t result in valuable products.

You’re already using OER.
Are you taking advantage of all
5Rs?
Are your classes better – not just cheaper – than
before?
Be the example.
