FW: [Canadaoer] Report: Teaching and Learning with Open Educational Resources (OER)
by Amanda Coolidge (she/her) 20 Apr '22

20 Apr '22

Hello All A new report has been published by Achieving the Dream and SRI Education. This study addresses the urgent need to better understand how the use of OER can support educational equity, particularly in educational settings that serve historically marginalized student populations. The report identifies five dimensions of open education and culturally responsive teaching: * Study agency and ownership, or the extent to which the course and positions students as leaders of their learning * Inclusive content, or how the instructor brings in diverse perspectives and tailors the content to students’ backgrounds * Collaborative knowledge generation, or how students apply/develop new theories or contribute to “renewable” or generative assignments. * Critical consciousness, or how the instructor provides students with real-world assignments, decolonizes the curriculum, and addresses power imbalances * Classroom culture, or how the instructor cultivates strong relationships and an inclusive environment The study is based on interviews with faculty and administrators, student focus groups, and course observations at eight community colleges, and is a careful examination of teaching practice among committed OER users and technology-oriented faculty members.
