Open Education Resources - Defined“OER are 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 re-purposing by others.
OERs can be:
o full courseso course materialso moduleso textbookso streaming videoso testso softwareo and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.”
- William & Flora Hewlett Foundation

Framing OER“If students see themselves reflected in the materials they are using, the more likely they are to succeed. That is the power of OER – giving faculty the power to speak to their students.”
Nicole Finkbeiner, OpenStax, May 2019
Learner Benefits
Access Context Collaboration
o Day 1 Access
o Cost Avoidance – Financial Barrier Removal
o Multiple Formats
o Localization
o Representation
o Creator
o Co-Contributor
o Public Good Assignments
Framing Open Pedagogy
“Disposable Assignments”“These are assignments that students complain about doing and faculty complain about grading. They’re assignments that add no value to the world – after a student spends three hours creating it, a teacher spends 30 minutes grading it, and then the student throws it away. Not only do these assignments add no value to the world, they actually suck value out of the world. Talk about an incredible waste of time and brain power (an a potentially huge source of cognitive surplus)!”
David Wiley, “What is Open Pedagogy?” (2013)
Framing Open Pedagogy - Continued
‘[Open pedagogy helps students to] see content as something they can curate and create, and to help them see themselves as contributing members to the public marketplace of ideas.
Essentially, this is a move from thinking about OER as open textbooks and thinking about them as opening textbooks.”
DeRosa, R and Robison S, “From OER to Open Pedagogy: Harnessing the Power of Open” (2017)

Open Pedagogy DefinedOpen Pedagogy and Open Education Practices (OEP)
• Focuses on learners as creators/co-contributors to public knowledge (not just consumers)
• Leverages open licensing for development and publication
Example – Wiki Edu
• Review & Analyze Existing Wikipedia entries• Correct inaccurate information • Provide proper citations

10 Ways to Annotate with Students
http://openpedagogy.org/open-pedagogy/
Adapt or remix OER – Problem sets, discussion questions, case studies
• Project Management for Instructional Designers, BYU• Student Created Test Banks for Sociology , Kwantlen Polytechnic
University, BC
Build OER – Students can reframe and re-present content in new and inventive ways
• Environmental Science Bites, Ohio State students• Textbook Creation, Plymouth State
Edit Wikipedia articles - • Add/edit content, add citations images - work with the Wiki Education Foundation
Apply existing expertise • Partner with organizations to create opportunities for students to apply their research or marketing skills Or write (and submit for publication) op-ed pieces to share evidence-based approaches to tackling a local social problem.
Curate course content • Involve students in the process of curating content for courses, either by offering them limited choices between different texts or by offering time to curate a future unit more or less on their own (or in a group) as a research project.

Open Pedagogy Examples
One Approach - Introduction to OER Course Students Utilized OER for their Course Productions
Student Work Licensed as OER
Student Work – Tumblr Page◦ Satisfied learning outcome◦ Useful within their own school setting◦ Public Good – current and future students and staff
Student Application & Advocacy ◦ One student started building awareness and implement OER efforts in her district◦ One student started implementing and revising OER into his discipline◦ One student designed capstone project based on OER
Course Attributes• Free by Design
• Utilized Openly Licensed Materials
• Revised Content Where Needed• Entire Course Licensed as OER
One Approach – Sociologyo Students in 300 level course contributing towards a common resource to be used in Introduction to Sociology
o Students to write a portion of the resource focusing on social aspects of Windham/Willimantic communitieso Works focused on social policy and research within the local community
o Works developed used to supplement/revise section of OpenStax OER textbooko Intro to Sociology: Making Connection: The Local Community.
o COVID-19 did impact the availability for some students to participate
One Approach – Interdisciplinaryo Partnership between World Languages, English, and Art Departments
o Students engaged with elementary school children to create stories
o Some students provided the narrative while others provided illustrations
o World Language students translated the works into Spanish
o Student created stories were released as a collection
One Approach – US HistorySyllabus Design- The Process1. Draft syllabus with assignment & activity placeholders (dates only)2. Introduce the concept on 1st day3. Brainstorm activities & assignments with students4. Refine list & create online survey5. Students vote6. Revise syllabus to include top ranked activities & assignments7. We design activities & assignments
One Approach – US History - ResultsRefine, Vote, Design!
• Created survey in Microsoft Forms
• Rank favorite activities & rank favorite Assignments
• Included fill in options for each• 32 students voted• Presented and discussed
results at the next class. • Finalized Syllabus and learning
design commenced!

Licensing DiscussionKey questions to consider:
• Can students in your class project choose whether to openly license their work or not?• What implications might this have for the usability of the completed work?• If they do choose an open license, can they choose which license to use?• If they choose a restrictive license, will their contributions still be part of the finished book?• Do all the students have to come to consensus, or can they choose the license for their individual contributions? What is the decision process when there are small-group contributions?
• How do students want to be cited and attributed in their work and future derivatives?• What if they do not want to be cited at all and prefer to be anonymous or keep their work private?• How can students use the work in their portfolios or professional websites, if desired?• How will you take advantage of this topic to teach digital literacy to students around the concept of openness?A Guide to Making Open Textbooks with Students by Rebus Community is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0

Privacy Considerations1.Get FERPA waivers from the students.
2.Make the open resource and credit the students who contributed, but withoutidentifying that they were part of a specific course.
3.Allow students to use pseudonyms when building the open resource.
4.All of the above.
