2022 CET Summer Teaching Conference Keynote Speakers
GETTING STARTED WITH OER: 4 ENTRY POINTS AND 2 ACTION STEPS
Abstract:
This interactive keynote is designed to generate action steps for faculty interested in integrating OER (Open Educational Resources) into teaching and learning in college courses in ways that open up access to learning. Four small-scale, ready-to-do-right-now OER entry points will be presented, including: 1) Using OER, 2) Curating OER, 3) Remixing OER, and 4) Co-Creating OER. From these entry points, participants will generate at least two action steps to guide future OER investigations and explorations during the conference and beyond. Key issues related to OER design and digital accessibility, the inclusion of diverse perspectives, the development of information and media literacy skills, and ways to assess OER curation, remixing, and co-creating will also be discussed.
