Overview • Introduction • “Curating” Resources for Lifespan Development • OER 101 • Approaches to OER • Existing Text-Equivalents for Psych • ZTC and Biological Psychology • The Future of OER in the CCCs
Lifespan Development • No complete text-equivalent available • “Curating” resources to create a text-equivalent • Sources for lifespan content
What are Open Educational Resources (OER)? • Teaching and learning materials that are openly licensed and freely available online for everyone to use, whether you are an instructor, student, or self-learner. • OER most often refers to open access textbooks and ancillary materials that are available at little or no cost to students.
How do you know using OER is permitted for a specific course? • See Course Outline of Record • If an OER resources is not identified, can you use OER?
Will courses using OER be articulated? • Articulation is based on the Course Outline of Record (COR) • Is your OER resource truly comparable to whatever is listed on the COR?
Responses from UC and CSU system articulation leadership: “For UC, it’s fine to use assembled materials or Open Educational Resources, so long as they’re as stable and publicly available as published textbooks (and not a list of links). “ Nancy Purcille Transfer Articulation Coordinator University of California, Office of the President “Same for the CSU.” Ken O’Donnell Senior Director, Student Engagement and Academic Initiatives and Partnerships CSU Office of the Chancellor
Approaches to OER • Adoption of an existing text-equivalent • Adoption and modification of an existing text-equivalent • Curating and compiling resources – creating your own text-equivalent connection • Developing from scratch independently • Developing with a team • ….and any combination of the above.

The Future of OER in the CCCs? • ASCCC OER proposal funded! • Goal? Increase OER usage across the system by: • Encouraging local OER efforts • Increasing the availability of text-equivalents • Addressing barriers to OER adoption • Simplifying adoption
Needs and solutions • What ancillaries are critical for OER adoption for your discipline or your faculty? • What “holes” exist – where should the CCCs be seeking to fill a void?
All ancillaries… • Are they accessible? • Are they of high quality? • Are they appropriately/usefully organized? (e.g., questions organized by type, level, outcome) • Costs – if you are passing costs on to students, what is reasonable/acceptable?
