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.
