WHY DID OUR CONSORTIUM USE OER?
Conditions of
However!
Know what you’re getting into before you accept the money
Know what needs to be done before full scale adoption

GENERAL BENEFITS OF USING OER
10
1. Learning effectiveness
Better quality or more recent material
2. Scale
Cost effective
3. Access
wider variety of learning materials
4. Faculty success
Avoid “reinventing the wheel”
5. Student success
Better quality and easier access
BENEFITS THE CONSORTIUM REALIZED
► Contents are displayed in multimedia formats so user knows how
the student will see the material
► Content is compiled and edited by the instructor
► Adaptability for individual colleges and instructors
► Digital OER textbooks are condensed
► Building and sharing content between colleges decreased
development time and maximized resources
► Content was “standardized” between the 7 Energy colleges
11
BUILD AND SHARE CONTENT BETWEEN
COLLEGES
12
Example: Fundamentals of DC/AC 3 different courses were developed with grant funding
Negative: duplication of effort and a waste of
resources
Positive: One consortium college discovered need for
ELT106 in Nov. 2013 for a Jan. 2014 deployment.
In December 2013, a new instructor could select content from
each of the OER courses to build a course unique to there
student population and launch the course for January 2014
students

CHALLENGES TO USING OER! Technology
Time
Quality Assessment-Reluctance to “share” and the reluctance to “accept other instructors work”
Policies on academic freedom, open access licenses (CC BY)
Evolving Online/Hybrid Pedagogy
Differing LMS’s
Competency-based courses which used industry supplied manuals for content delivery

CHALLENGES TO CONTRIBUTING TO OER• Technology—OERs are built on the different platforms such as HTML vs. XML
• Time—Sharing to an OER Repository requires manual recreating of content
since SCORM or common cartridges uploads are not standard
• Quality Assessment—reluctance to “accept” others work as “equivalent” as
their own material or view as “inferior” to publisher created material
• College or Faculty Property—who actually “owns” the content created within a
college system?
• If a system owns all material created by faculty/employees while being paid
with system funds, can course material be contributed to OER?
• Creating a different CC BY license for each OER published
• No Central OER repository

WAS OER A “HARD SELL”
YES !!!!
16
WHAT DID IT TAKE FOR “BUY IN”
A specific “on message”
Instructional designers
Recognition of impact across college
departments
17
DEALING WITH OER
What Works?Detailed Plan
Central URL repository for easy access to OER sites
Central website for OER index
Multimedia hosted on an institution channel or institutional account
Allocating enough time to search & revise content
