Are you currently using a purchased textbook for a course you are teaching? Does every student have a copy? Does it include examples of different races, gender and living circumstances? Does it have examples of cultures different from your own? Creating an OER resource/textbook for student use can feel like a daunting task. Come and listen while we work to take the fear, anxiety, and uncertainty out of creating such a resource. Adding diversity in your content has many benefits. We aren’t re-writing the textbook, we are guiding student learning by compiling the best resources from open content. Gather a syllabus and a computer as we journey together to start the process.
Learning Outcomes: Participants will identify 3-5 online resources to help them begin curating content for the creation of an OER playlist for a course in which they teach. Participants will learn that creating an OER textbook does not have to be a daunting task and has many rewards for all involved. Participants will experience a collaborative work environment that supports a range of ideas in curation of content.
