The ROTEL (Remixing Open Textbooks through an Equity Lens) program provides stipends to faculty at six Massachusetts Higher Education Institutions to create or adapt OER resources using an equity lens for their general education or career and professional development course. To support their work ROTEL created a Publishing Support Team with content, interactive media, licensing, and technical writing expertise, engaged with partners, and developed an Assessment Plan. Join this session to hear from four faculty who have embraced ROTEL’S vision by creating culturally relevant materials that are key for student success, especially those students coming from underrepresented backgrounds. They will share processes and how they met challenges along the way. Larry McKenna discusses the creation of his text “Conversations with the Earth” using PreTeXt. Joan Giovannini shares her experience in adapting materials for “Children, Families, Schools, and Communities” using Pressbooks. Rachael Norton shares work that she and Peter Staab have done to adapt statistics problems for cultural relevance, depositing in WebWorks. Patricia Lynne completes the panel by sharing her pilot work “Reading and Writing Successfully in College: A Guide for Students” in which she embraces student perspectives while also being a pilot for the ROTEL Publishing Support Team and the best practices the team has adapted. Brief Q&A will follow each presentation. x Massachusetts Institutions of Higher Education along with the MA Department of Higher Education will test the hypothesis that underrepresented students will student success outcomes Funding is provided through the federal Department of Education’s Open Textbooks Pilot Program.
