Three types of Open Courses you can offer students

3) Z-courses( Zero cost to student) : Material in the course contains both Openly licensed material as well as paid subscription services. Remember, OER content has to follow the 5r (reuse, revise, remix, redistribute and retain) Paid subscription services like databases or video repositories are paid by the institution and are not open to the public. However, the students do not have to pay to use the services. If you have this kind of course, you need to make sure you attribute the materials and abide by the licensing regulations of the subscription services. Note, however, that this course cannot be listed or classified as an OER course.

Our Journey into Course Redesign with OERs

After an exciting Family Feud Review Game, 

Faculty were asked to complete their <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZDIeTduNxCqZtnbOjCJDmFk6PK4F8RFzcS33Ug1Qu9E/edit?usp=sharing">OER Implementation Plan.</a>

Start by <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/10oRGyTnGl01M_fH7l4HFXdig87a8sEqJt8pQCFjoDUE/edit?usp=sharing">redesigning one unit or module</a>, instead of trying to redesign an entire course all at once.

Why redesign: What have you observed, heard or encountered regarding this&nbsp;Module/Unit?

Re-design: One unit/module, explore and curate materials, evaluate materials, implement use, assess the feedback/reception for the use

What are the learning outcomes students get from this module/unit?

What materials do you currently use for this unit?

Instructions that were given to faculty&nbsp;

•Remember to only look for materials that will go with the unit/module you are trying to redesign. •Start with the subject specific materials, then use the general resources. •As you find resources, save the links/resources&nbsp;in any way that makes sense to you. (i.e. sandbox course, thumbdrive, on a word document, cloud,etc) so you can sift through them later. •During the exploration process, you are simply collecting the resources you find.&nbsp;

1) Fully OER: All material in course is licensed under <a href="https://creativecommons.org/about/videos/creative-commons-kiwi/">Creative Commons Licenses </a>( or Public Domain) and openly available over an Internet Connection. Material follows the 5 Rs: Reuse, Revise, Remix Redistribute&nbsp;,Retain 2) OER low cost: Most of the material is openly licensed. Some material like a textbook or add-ons, however may not be free, but the cost to the student cannot exceed $40 total for course materials. If the textbook is low cost but not Openly Licensed, then you cannot say the course is OER low cost.

<a href="https://guide.pressbooks.com/chapter/create-and-edit-parts/">PressBooks:</a> PressBooks is an online platform that allows educators to make their own OER Books.

Introduction to Pressbooks

Books can have interactive content ( HTML 5), text, images, videos and audio files.

Content Builder: Creating A Website

Add multiple pages to a site. Add as many resources as you want.

Started the workshop off by having participants take a <a href="https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=U1AUi1Sx40u1sNgD2FF2eWhXCxjKl6NPojtISMtYnOpUMFc5SjFOTDZTNUtBVUY1RkFQNzFURVNHQS4u">Pre-Test.</a>

Pre-Test showed that Faculty members needed clarification about what is considered OER and what is considered Open Access.

Participants were given an opportunity to explore and curate materials

The starter page can be found at the following url: <a href="http://oersresources.weebly.com/">oersresources.weebly.com</a>/ This is a <a href="https://oersresources.weebly.com/">public page</a> available to anyone who has Internet access.

Evaluating the resources

Faculty then explored various rubrics and checklists to evaluate OER resources.
