Hi all,
I have been asked to have a table to promote open education on behalf of our campus Open Education Working Group at our upcoming campus open house for prospective students and their parents. I have been told that I can have a stand up banner and other small promotional material created for it. Does anyone have any suggestions re: what kind of information I should include on it so that it can be used multiple times? Suggested images? Pictures of what you use at your campus to give me ideas? Places to look at existing "displays"? Other stuff that I haven't mentioned, but you think might be applicable?
Thanks,
Brenda

CARL’s Open Education Working Group wants to share this opportunity for you to engage with the following professional development opportunity around Open Education. Further webinars will be announced very soon.
How to Create Inclusive and Accessible OER
http://www.carl-abrc.ca/news/free-webinar-inclusive-and-accessible-oer/
Date: October 16, 2019
Time: 10am PST | 1pm EST
Registration: https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca<https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca/>
Please note that although this presentation will be in English, slides will be made available in both English and French.
In this webinar, we will talk about how to design OER so they are more inclusive and accessible for all students. This will include an overview of the technical considerations of digital accessibility. For example, what are the minimum technical requirements that ensure students with print disabilities can access and navigate through the resource? We will also look at how inclusive design practices can help us create educational materials that are more versatile and useful for students. For example, what does an accessible resource look like for a student with no personal computer? Or a student with a learning disability that makes reading difficult? Ultimately, students can be very different from each other, and what may work for one student may not work for another. But by designing for those differences, we can create educational materials that are more useful, powerful, and accessible to all.

Le Groupe de travail sur l’éducation ouverte de l’ABRC souhaite vous inviter à participer à l’occasion de perfectionnement professionnel suivante se rapportant à l’éducation ouverte. Le reste de la série de webinaires sera annoncée sous peu.
How to Create Inclusive and Accessible OER
[Comment créer des REL inclusives et accessibles]
http://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/nouvelles/webinaire-gratuit-rel-inclusives-et-ac…
Date : Le 16 octobre 2019
Heure : 10 h HNP | 13 h HNE
Inscription : https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca<https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca/>
Bien que la présentations se fera en anglais, les diapositives seront disponibles en anglais et en français.
Au cours de ce webinaire, nous discuterons de la façon de concevoir des ressources éducatives libres (REL) afin qu’elles soient plus inclusives et plus accessibles pour tous les étudiants. Un aperçu des considérations techniques de l’accessibilité numérique sera présenté. Par exemple, quelles sont les exigences techniques minimales qui permettent aux étudiants incapables de lire les imprimés d’accéder à la ressource et de s’y retrouver? Nous examinerons également en quoi les pratiques de conception inclusive peuvent nous aider à créer du matériel pédagogique plus polyvalent et plus utile pour les étudiants. Par exemple, à quoi ressemble une ressource accessible pour un étudiant qui n’a pas d’ordinateur personnel? Ou pour un étudiant ayant un trouble d’apprentissage qui rend la lecture plus difficile? En fin de compte, les étudiants peuvent être très différents les uns des autres, et ce qui convient à l’un peut ne pas convenir à l’autre. Mais, en procédant à la conception en fonction de ces différences, nous pouvons créer du matériel pédagogique plus utile, plus puissant et plus accessible à tous.

Hi everyone,
Here at Mt Hood Community College (MHCC), our Cataloging & Metadata Specialist and I have been working to leverage MARC records to make OER easier to find.
Here’s a link to our OER MARC Template<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qRvWqGdrRw11zpKDVMWZWM4BIstAN6frkla…> – please share with your catalogers and systems librarians!
This initially started because we have a collection development policy to add anything to our collection that’s published by our faculty. There’s no reason this should exclude OER, but not having MARC fields to highlight the open content was a barrier to discovery. So we decided to solve that through local cataloging rules that track and display the following:
• 2 subject headings that indicate a resource is OER (653_6<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd653.html>: uncontrolled genre/form terms): OER and Open educational resources
• Attribution Statement which includes the license type (540<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd540.html>: terms governing use and reproduction)
• Relationship between print and electronic versions of the same OER (776<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd776.html>: Additional physical form)
• Funding source, if the OER was created on a specific grant
• Link to original and derivative works (787<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd787.html>: Other relationship entry)
• Course outcomes (sometimes difficult to ascertain without speaking with the author)
• OER revision/remix statement – a note from the author explaining how the derivative differs from the original
For a detailed explanation of what, how, and why we did this, see our recent article “Leveraging Cataloging and Collection Development Expertise to Improve OER Discovery” OLA Quarterly, Vol. 25, No. 1 (2019)<https://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/vol25/iss1/6/>.
After that went to print, we figured out how to reconfigure our OPAC to make this OER metadata visible to our patrons. Most of the fields above are searchable, particularly the 653_6 field that indicates a resource is OER. Using that field, we built a LibGuides search box that scopes just to the OER bibs in our catalog. You can see that here, https://libguides.mhcc.edu/oer/guide
We have not yet loaded our OER MARC records into OCLC, as we want to get through this proof of concept first and have some discussions with our peers. There might be better ways to use MARC than what we’ve done here, but this is our first shot and so far it’s working quite well for us. We are excited to share it with you all!
