Open Education
Open Education Resources Open educational resources (OER) means 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 repurposing by others. -Hewlett Foundation

Why Open?

OpenOregon.org cost analysis - average Oregon materials cost for a 2-year degree: $2,142.84 for the AAOT $2,002.96 for the AS $2,316.19 for the ASOT-BUS
MA. Student fee increases: State Universities - up to 7.8% MA. community college - up to 10%

Barriers
Reflect on the possible barriers at your institution in advancing OER. • Write one barrier per sticky note • Go for quantity • There are no right answers • You’ll share these at your table in 15 minutes.
Table Discussion • Share your barriers • Are there commonalities? – Group them into themes – Name each theme • Are there outliers?
Room Share • Themes • Outliers • Are there nuances we want to acknowledge? • Are there concerns we want to acknowledge?
Barriers to Faculty Adoption • Faculty don’t know where to find open textbooks • Faculty don’t understand the urgency of student financial stress, and how it can impact students academically • Faculty aren’t aware that open textbooks are an option • Faculty don’t know what open textbooks are • Faculty confuse open textbooks with electronic textbooks
Barriers - Institutional • Bookstore pushback • Admin. financial support • Instructional services support - faculty senate? • Student services support - advisors in the loop? • $$ Contract language - faculty stipends or NOTAs • Copyright ownership - admin. open license support in contract?

a pathway to equity Open Educational Resources:
“OER are key not only to solving the global education crisis but to unlocking sustainable global growth in the 21st century....” Ambassador David T. Killion, U.S. Permanent Representative to UNESCO, and Sir John Daniel, President and CEO of the Commonwealth of Learning from 2004 to 2012) UNESCO World OER Congress in 2012 OER Impact http://education.okfn.org/is-there-a-link-between-oer-and- economic-growth/
The cost barrier kept 2.4 million low and moderate-income college- qualified high school graduates from completing college in the previous decade. The Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED529499.pdf
● Textbook prices disproportionately impact community college students: 50% of students report using financial aid for books at community colleges, compared to 28% at 4 year public schools. And, on average, community college students use more financial aid than their peers at 4 year schools. • 5.2 million U.S. undergraduate students spend a total of $1.5 billion dollars of financial aid on textbooks every semester, or $3 billion per year. Covering the Cost: Student PIRGs report, 02.16 http://www.studentpirgs.org/sites/student/files/reports/National%20-%20COVERING%20THE%20COST.pdf
63.6% Not purchase the required textbook 49.2% Take fewer courses 45.1% Not register for a specific course 33.9% Earn a poor grade 26.7% Drop a course 17.0% Fail a course In your academic career, has the cost of required textbooks caused you to: http://www.openaccesstextbooks.org/pdf/2012_Florida_Student_Textbook_Survey.pdf

Work to be done • Divide up the work evenly among chapters according to expertise. • Locate, evaluate, and repurpose existing OER. • Build up the ancillary primary source documents and supporting media • Put it all together and SHARE!
Evidence from First Year US History 201-203 Reviewed and adopted by 11 local schools (only 2 have not) *Having this text was a “deal breaker” Savings as of Winter 2016 $32,667 369 students x $120 Two high school faculty = $5,000 And growing savings…
How do we measure success? • Significant cost savings • A book that can be adapted up or down based on curricular needs • A model collaborative endeavor • A quality resource that can be shared across the state Continued growth, better pedagogy, and improved learning…

Blue Mountain Community College Mapping our Curriculum Assessment Strategies
Mapping Our Curriculum • Identified essential concepts and time periods • Assessed current content valued and what was lacking • Connected with Common Core and College Proficiencye
Assessment • Pro/Cons –Accessibility, Readability and Engaging Layout(for instructor and student), Accuracy, and Organization • Learning Objectives/Proficiency Criteria –Historical Thinking, Critical Thinking, Diversity, and Communication • Overall –Availability and quality of ancillaries
Let’s Practice, OER in 4 Steps Using your model syllabus: 1.Identify LOs (page 3-4 of your booklet) 2.Search for open textbook that you could use in your course (page 5) 3.Need more? Check your library (page 6) 4.Evaluate! Once you found a few items use the checklist on page 7 to consider what you’ve found and what you may need.
What’s next?
Continuing conversations with stakeholders • OER taskforce / council vitality • Faculty - second wave adopters • Faculty - builders, not adapters • Admin - funding concerns • Students - student body change-over • Bookstore - fiscal impact
Sustainability • From OER to open padagogy • sustainable funding - Lumen model course fees? • Professional development - OpenEd16 • Centralized repository?
Questions?
