I don't even know where to start - can you help?

Yes! The best place to start is by enrolling in the self-paced Canvas course: Introduction to teaching with OER and Open Pedagogy.

This course is not meant to be busy work for you, but rather a place for you to get information and obtain resources so that you can be successful.

The course has six modules:

  1. An introduction that defines OER and provides some research showing the effectiveness of OER
  2. An introduction to open pedagogy and anti-racist teaching
  3. An introduction to using AI to create OER
  4. A brief overview on Creative Commons licensing and copyright
  5. Finding OER, including tips on searching and links to places where you might start your search
  6. Curating, Adapting, and Creating OER, including tips on backward design how to publish your OER when it's complete

The college is in the process of hiring some OER Specialists that can assist you through this process. The project lead, Andi Adkins Pogue will also be holding regular office hours, workshops, and is available to come to department meetings or other groups that need some additional information or help.

Look for upcoming events in the ZTC/OER PD calendar and in the Announcement section of the Canvas course.
